In pictures: Sonam Kapoor's chic baby shower

Sonam Kapoor and her husband, Anand Ahuja are all ready to welcome their first child. Of course, a life event of that magnitude calls for a big celebration.

The couple therefore celebrated the event with their close family and friends in London on June 15, as they await the birth of their baby daughter. Sonam’s sister Rhea Kapoor was also present, sharing snippets from the affair on Instagram. The shower was hosted by their friend, Eiesha Bharti Pasricha in her London home and featured a performance by British-Pakistani singer, Leo Kalyan.

The musician shared a picture with Sonam on the photo-sharing platform, and captioned it, “A spice girl in Bollywood. I just performed at Sonam Kapoor's baby shower. What is life?” Sonam donned a stunning pink halter neck maxi dress with cape-like sleeves.

The decor at the baby shower was a visual treat to say the least. The event took place outdoors with several tables set around the garden. It embodied a fairytale aesthetic. All the tables had been adorned with customised table cloths that had Sonam’s name written all over. They were also hand painted with a blue, yellow, orange and red design. The table was further decorated with vases that had a distinct assortment of flowers ranging from daisies to lilies. Each guest had their own designated seat which was symbolised by the customised menus that had their names on it.

The menus were hand written for each guest with their names on top and were divided into four course options: antipasti, primi, secondi and dolce. They were in baby pink with hand painted designs of daisies, flowers and peacock feathers on the borders. The plates used were an off-white colour with a gold rim and the cutlery had bamboo style handles. Each guest also received a customised napkin and small goody bag with a special necklace, both of which had their name on it.

The guest list was nothing short of ‘magnifique’ with Sonam’s close friends in attendance. Her friends Christina Norton, Sukeena Rao, Adam Shapiro, Maryam Zamani, Tamara Ralph, Chandni Modha and Sakshi Chhabra Mittal were just a few of the noteworthy names attending the event.
