Wedding Shower

I am sailing the Caribbean this week, so my posts will be random and sporadic. Enjoy!

This past Sunday, my mom, aunt, and I worked together to host a shower for my cousin (Josh) and his bride-to-be, Emily. I shared a post about ideas that I wanted to incorporate and another post about how I wanted to master "the pouf" for decorations. Now you get to see the real enchilada! Enjoy!

Table pre-goodies

Poufs. Conquered.


My mom purchased fabric from Hobby Lobby to make the table cloth. Their wedding colors are pink/purple/green, so we incorporated these colors throughout the table.

These green flowers were so fun!

Pink "candy sticks" (kind of sweet/pepperminty like a candy cane... but in a stick shape)

Cupcake stand! I made the cupcake toppers with an "S" for their last name. Stay tuned for a tutorial on how to make your own!

Close up.


The lovely bride! With all the food set out and ready to go. We had:
Pink lemonade in tall glasses w/pink straws
Fruit kabobs with grapes, pineapple, watermelon, and cantaloupe
Strawberries
Mini pigs in a blanket (YUMMM)
Veggies with ranch
Punch (orange sherbet, ginger ale, sprite)

The bride with her sister-to-be on the left (Josh's little sister, Sarah) and with her other sister-to-be (Josh's brother's- another cousin- girlfriend, who hopefully will get engaged to my cousin SOON so we can throw a shower for her!) Brittany. Did I confuse you enough?

Yum yum! Party guests gettin' their grub on.

Getting ready to open gifts....

With the hostesses (my aunt Linda, cousin Josh, cousin-to-be Emily, ME in the skirt I sewed, my mom)

 Happy shower hosting! Is it me, or is your summer full of baby/wedding/lingerie showers? Wowza!
