A bridal weekend - Bridal Shower

As mentioned yesterday, we celebrated my sweet friend this past weekend: hosting a bridal shower and bachelorette party! It was an awesome weekend filled with so much love, it's just contagious!

I worked remotely on Friday so I was available to help my mom set up the house for the shower. We prepped the food and set the table and then were whisked away by the lovely bride-to-be for a quick mani/pedi complete with margartias....yes we know how to mani/pedi.

Let's chat about the Bridal Shower now.

I worked with Paige from Paige's Paper on etsy to custom design the invitations and they turned out amazing! I would definitely recommend her and order from her in the future!

Saturday morning we woke bright and early to put all of the food out, pop the champagne and play fun shower games! The shower was a total hit and was absolutely beautifully decorated by my sweet momma.

The shower was a huge hit, lots of champagne and tea, delicious food, laughter, reminiscing, a small fire, games, friends and family, and of course a ton of love!

As an added sweet surprise I had asked the groom to answer a few questions to help everyone at the shower get to know the bride and groom as a couple. I also asked the groom to record a short video, which was a total surprise that everyone loved! 

The bride was showered with lots of love, rain and fun treats! I can't wait to celebrate in August for the big event!
