Modern Baby Shower Jungle Theme

Here are the newest pictures form a baby shower I through for my dear friend sarah and her new baby theo! He has a jungle room so we thought we'd incorporate that theme into our shower- I'm not a big fan of cutsy- so to modernize the shower a little- the animals were black silouettes- with big bright tropical arrangements and bright plates in orange and black. I then put touches of cheetah print to make it more jungleie. I'm such a fan of using things you already have in your house-and am a fan of neutral decor so my walls will go well with anything Im hostessing at my house- I usually have red decor in my house as an accent but I find it clashes when I do events in my house- so I remove anything red and make my one white pillow into whatever theme the event is with felt and duck tape. I have lots of white serving wear which works for any event and I also have black so all I end up need to do is borrow some of my friends art to replace my own for the day add some arrangments ect and its transformed for a simple shower meet and greet. I'm also a huge believer in favors being usable- gum for instance is cheap and everyone loves it-"usually"- you won't be left with alot of favors at the end of your party. I just wrapped them in cheetah paper stuck it together with a sticker and added ribbon. The palm tree for the present and cupcake table is just wrapping paper rolls with palms inside the rolls stuck in a vase with sand- if id had more time I think I would've wrapped the tubes in burlap and attached painted brown tennis balls-even tried to buy some real palm leaves to make the trees fuller- oh well it was a crazy day-Brandon and I made a movie for the new beautiful mommy- and had a little too much fun making it- midnight and x men photos do not mix-I had fun holding the sweet new little bundle and listening to him breathe and watching him dream- is he not adorable!
