Nautical Baby Shower Decorations
Can you believe these amazing sailboat jello cups? They are created by the talented women at Malu Boutiques!
They recently styled a “Nautical Baby Shower” that was just as cute! As soon as I saw these cute pictures, I knew I had to share them with you!
Thank you Malu Boutiques for letting me feature your adorable baby shower!
The Jello cups are filled with mandarin orange and for the sail you just stick a toothpick with a paper triangle stuck to it.
Chocolate dipped marshmallows are so colorful and festive! yum!
The net back drop behind the food table is so clever! I love how they attached cute starfish and clam shells to the netting!
Another great idea they have is to fill apothecary jars with sand and shells!
What a cute little boat to put on the main table as a place card holder or just for decoration!
Again, thank you Malu Boutiques for the lovely inspiration!
