Green is the new pink!

My mom and I gave my sister (she was having twins, boy and girl) a baby shower about three weeks ago. We went all green! Eco-chic! So much fun.

We were amazed at how much stuff is "green" now!
The plates and cups were Bare by Solo

We had all natural soy candles and incense for prizes.

We decorated the tables with fresh flowers in mason jars.

Mint leaves, then blueberries (for the "boy" Bodhi) and raspberries (for the "girl" Lola)
filled mini mason jars. Pink and blue raffia to complete the jar...

We tried to stick to fresh foods such as fruit, spinach dip, asparagus, meat and cheese, and some natural sun chips :)

I had so much fun researching different ways to go about this baby shower. I came across quite a few cool organic, eco-friendly, or all natural products. One that I am in love with is these diapers:

Aren't these the cutest??
They are cloth diapers for those who are not sure if they can fully handle cloth 100% of the time. And they are all natural and environmentally friendly :) NOt to mention the cute factor...seriously those ruffles?!! LUV THEM!
Check them out here.
I am considering them for Beckett...we'll see. Let you know if I do.



Oh! I can't forget this....

They are beautiful! I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to be in the room during the c-section to capture some awesome images for my sister.

Thanks Leslie... I love you!

The party turned out so cool! And the cake fit right in. And that is really neat that you were able to be in the delivery room to catch those amazing photos. I love them!

Can you email me the pictures you took of the cake? They look so good that I want to use one for my website. Let me know if you want me to pay you for the rights to it too.
