Once Upon a Time
A Storybook Baby Shower
Vintage storybooks, soft gingham, alphabet blocks and garden florals come together for a baby shower made for all the stories yet to come.
The Idea
A little nostalgic.
A lot of magic.
Think well-loved storybooks, garden-party florals, gingham details and tiny nods to childhood tucked throughout the celebration. Sweet without being overly themed, and playful without feeling childish.
The Palette
Soft, sunny + storybook sweet.

Powder Blue
Soft Sage
