Amber was expecting a little Pumpkin in autumn and event designer Jennifer Bishop created a “rustic elegance” baby shower to celebrate the arrival of her baby Addison. Beautiful fabric with a modern edge and original thinking allowed her to put a fresh spin on the traditional fall color spectrum by using peach paired with brown, white and a touch of red. “I define ‘Rustic Elegance’ as a worn feel with a mix of weathered and sleek elements,” Bishop said. She gained elegance by using lace doilies, a modern doily printed fabric, feathers, and hanging crystals from tree branches. Mercury glass vases and mini foam pumpkins with pearl strands increased the sparkle factor. She brought out the rustic feel with a hint of nature. Using textured items like burlap for the flags, Manzanita branches, weathered bird houses, wrought iron pumpkins and dried flowers created an outdoor environment inside.
