This past weekend officially kicked off one of the first big events pre-wedding: The first bridal shower, hosted actually by my amazing soon-to-be Mother-in-Law, Mrs. Smokey.
It was wonderful, pink, delicious and so much more! Here's a peek! The room was decorated so adorably, in pink streamers, banners, flowers, favors and more!
Allyson created the burlap banner that she gifted to me...I can promise you you'll be seeing that again come wedding-day!
It's so cute, right?! Thanks Allyson! This was the little area where the gifts were placed and where I opened them, the backdrop was so cute in the pictures...that I took most of them from there!
The happiness came in dozens, including these darling pre-packaging pink cupcakes! mmmm!
And these adorable favors Mrs. Smokey & Grandma put together for each of the guests! How cute are those little tuxedo bags!?
Morgie helped Mrs. Smokey plan the decorations including these adorable mason jars and flower centerpieces! The bridesmaids all helped before I arrived getting everything ready. It was so incredibly sweet of them, considering they are throwing a couple additional showers (yes, we are having three different showers...). I really wanted to keep them smaller and intimate so that I could visit with everyone and actually chat and enjoy the day! So thank you girls for all your extra help!
Jazzed up with a doily, some twine and a Bella Blvd patterned paper heart! So sweet!
So pretty, right?! Love the babies breath!
All the pink bows, wrapping and tissue paper..... so pretty!
I opened gifts (& I'm pretty sure I didn't rip or break any bows/ribbons!), including some fun off-the-registry ideas like this customized stationery!
I'm one of those brides that LOVES the wrapping details and pays attention to all that! So imagine my surprise when I found some Bella feathers on a wrapped gift...making for such a cute and textured rehearsal dinner bridal bow-bouquet!
We followed with a bunch of photos! This one is my favorite of all the girls in the wedding party...love that moment captured with little Lauren giggling!
Steven & I are so thankful to be surrounded by such loving family and friends. The shower, the details, the gifts and the company were absolutely wonderful. The day was perfect. Thank you so much for loving us, and helping us celebrate our upcoming wedding and life together. We love you all so, very much!
What a beautiful shower! I loveeeee the photos!!
