Bridal Shower #1... check!

I am finally able to check one of the many showers and parties off my list!!  
I feel like we have been planning and getting ready for this shower for weeks, so we were super excited to finally put everything together!!!

We went with a country/green/yellow/rustic theme for this shower and we could not have been more happier for the way it turned out!!  

Here are a few pictures of the decorations and the way we set everything up!!

The Drinks!
We kept the drinks simple with blackberry lemonade, peach sangria, a pink cocktail (we made up the name), water, and of course sweet tea!

The Desserts!

We has chocolate cake, cupcakes, lemon blossoms, cookies, rice crispy treats, and lemon and lime bars.  I thought we were going to have lots left over, but thanks to the guys who came when the shower was over, we did not have much desserts to get rid of!! 

The Food!
Thanks to family and friends who helped out with the food!!  It was all delicious, especially the ham biscuits!!

a few of the favors!
Each guest was given a mason jar with their name on it to use and to take home!!

The cake!!!
This cake was my baby!!  I stressed over this cake for weeks, but thanks to many YouTube videos and pictures, I think it turned out great!!  In a later post I will show y'all how I got the "ruffled" effect! 

cupcakes and lemon blossoms!

flowers!
more flowers!




and more flowers!!
We knew we wanted quite a few flowers, but we also wanted to keep it simple and rustic.  So we automatically thought of daisies and baby's breath!  I loved the way the bunches of baby's breath turned out in the large jars!!  
  
cupcake balls! 
And a BIG thanks to Pinterest for the great idea of these super cute cupcake balls!!  I will admit they were a little time consuming, but the final product was worth it!!  Like the cake, I will show y'all how to make these!!

The Bride, bridesmaids, and flower girls!
We had so much fun planning and preparing for this shower!! I cannot wait for her bachelorette weekend and of course her WEDDING!!

I hope y'all enjoyed all the pictures!!

  1. Amazing! I am also going planning to throw a bridal shower for my best friend in one of the Los Angeles event venues next week. It seems like I am more excited about her wedding than her. I am so glad I came across this post. I can now take these ideas for arranging her fab party.
