When it comes to throwing a shower for an expecting co-worker, most people settle for a few streamers and some store-bought sweets. Claudia Sigala-Ochoa, however, treated an in-office party for her friend Nina like an upscale affair. As the owner of Tini Posh [1], Sigala-Ochoa has plenty of ideas when it comes to parties for little ones. For this particular shower, the mother of two turned to the baby's nursery for help.
"The shower was inspired by baby Georgia's nursery colors of peach, teal, yellow, and gray," Sigala-Ochoa says. "No pink for this little peach!"
But Sigala-Ochoa didn't just rely on the pretty palette. She used fun fabrics, simple DIY [2] projects, and a lot of adorable accents to make this party superspecial. Check out all the elements of this sweet, southern-themed baby shower!

G For Georgia
Making this DIY [4] decoration was supersimple! Claudia purchased the wooden letter from Land of Nod [5] ($5) and made the flowers out of fabric. After the party, the mom-to-be added the letter to Georgia's nursery.

Sweet Signs
Claudia designed this printable herself and now sells it in her Etsy shop [9] ($4). She upped the ante, however, by adding a little lace fabric and a tiny flower.

Pretty in Pink and Teal
Thanks to Pinterest, Claudia was able to create some larger-than-life paper flowers. Her favorite part of the display, however, was a quilt made by the mom-to-be.

Meet the Mom-to-Be
The mom-to-be, Nina Plourde, was overwhelmed by her co-workers' kind gesture.
"I was genuinely surprised when I saw they threw a baby shower for me," Nina says. "And not just a crepe paper and streamers party, but a gorgeous party that used the themes of my nursery. I just loved that so much time and effort was made for our baby girl Georgia."
