Aqua and Coral Baby Shower

Over the weekend I catered a baby shower for a Family in town. The shower was a classic southern style and the host asked that I prepare items in that fashion.
The menu was comprised of the following:
Fresh Fruit Platter
Rosemary and Thyme Roasted Nuts
Cheddar Cheese Wafers
Chicken Salad Tassies
Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
Spinach Bread Bowl Bites
Lemon Meringue Tarts
Strawberry Cake Cupcakes
Iced Peach Punch

They asked me to create a centerpiece and I was delighted to find Coral Roses and Sweetheart Roses, white Hydrangeas, Alstromeria Lillie's in white and coral, and Eucalyptus to use as filler.

I sprinkled the daintiest white pearls on top of the cupcakes and garnished the lemon tarts with lemon zest. In my mad rush to make the delivery, I didn't take a single picture, but found a couple posted from the host.
