Pink & Blue Bridal Shower Lovelies

Today, I hosted my very first (and hopefully, my last) bridal shower. It was so fun and rewarding, but very, very exhausting! Nobody tells you that part... ;) This shower was for my cousin Devyn who will be getting married next month. As her Maid of Honor, I took my duties as party planner extraordinaire very seriously...as you'll hopefully be able to tell. I've never had to entertain 20+ people before, so this was definitely a new challenge. But, I have to say, it went off without a hitch and everything looked lovely...including the bride to be. Enjoy these pictures from our little shindig today, and make sure to read all the way until the end for vendor information!

Our amazing spread! 

I used vintage postcards (some with very personal family love notes scribbled on the backs) hung from 

fishing line to create this look. It took up a little visual space and it was a nice unique touch.

Sorry...but baby cheeks are for squeezin'

We made the cake topper out of her invitation!

Big, magic eyes

Lovely vanilla cake with swiss buttercream icing that Mom & I made 

The group!

Do you love those vintage dishes, or what? They really added a certain feel to this shower that I couldn't have captured without the help of the amazing company that I found - Southern Vintage Antique China & Furniture Rentals. This company is based out of Georgia and will deliver to Florida. Other than that, you'd have to check the website. At any rate, the owners of the company are so sweet and willing to work with first time party-planners like myself, all while displaying oodles of patience, kindness and understanding! How about those little thank you favors? I made those! Simple treat bags from HomeGoods or Michael's + Washi Tape + a cute stamp + gold ink = fabulously simple favors that everyone will love. Ours were filled with chocolate covered cranberries...yum! As for the food, including the cake, that was made by myself & my very talented mommy. 

I hope you enjoyed being a part of our special day through pictures! I've been running around for hours on end and after browsing through these pretty snapshots, I think it's just about time to call it a night. I've finally stopped running and come down with a sore throat...figures! Till next time.
