Amina Bee's Inspiration From Tiffany

A Baby Girl Brunch at the Gandy Dancer

Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's

Theme: The Mom-to-Be looked to a Tiffany's box to paint the walls of her baby girl's nursery. Using the Tiffany box and the film classic Breakfast at Tiffany's, the baby shower was designed.

Location & Menu: The Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor, Michigan was the perfect setting for a baby shower brunch that Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly would declare "just darling." The Gandy Dancer's Sunday Brunch offers a generous buffet spread within an architectural landmark, the 1886 Michigan Central Depot Ann Arbor. The shower menus, which were accented with pink stripe or polka dot ribbon and pink rhinestones and tucked into guests' white linen napkins, described the buffet that featured everything from carved roast beef and ham to housemade breads and pastries.

Invitation & Registry: A 60's chic invitation with black silhouette and pink rhinestone detailing conveyed the Tiffany theme to guests. The Mom-to-Be's registry even reflected the mood with the Pottery Barn Kids' Ella Chandelier.

Centerpieces: A Tiffany themed shower would not be complete without an elegant jewelry display. For this occasion, a Tiffany Blue jewelry stand was adorned with little girl pearls, bracelets, headbands, and barrettes in shades of pink, white, and blue.

Accents: "It's A Girl" greeting cards were displayed in Tiffany Blue, white antique, and pink rose petaled frames.

Flowers: Pink Gerbera Daisies with white, pink, and fuchsia Carnations from Ann Arbor's Thrifty Flowers were arranged in square glass vases. Tiffany Blue and petite pink floral votive holders surrounded the floral arrangements.

Lighting: The table was illuminated by white candles in glass candlestick and votive holders adorned with Tiffany Blue polka dot ribbon. Tiffany Blue and pink diamond confetti also accented the table.



Personalized Gifts: The Mom-to-Be received some personalized gifts that also served as lovely table decor. A diaper wreath, featuring baby girl essentials tied in Tiffany Blue, pink, and white ribbons, was designed by Bianca of Sweet November, who can be reached at sweetnov07@gmail.com and (313) 622-1923 for such wreath orders. Gerber onesies, washcloths, and towels were packed in appropriately colored Daisy and watering can felt sacks that were Old Navy finds.


Favors: Guests were given pink chocolate pretzels from E & A Candies of Dutch Village Farmers Market in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The pretzels were wrapped and packaged in Tiffany Blue boxes tied with white ribbons.
