Bridal Shower

This past Saturday I had my bridal shower, and I had so much fun catching up with family and friends! Everything went great! With the exception of the cake, which by the end of the morning I believe the hostesses settled on the third cake from a local bakery. I guess the first two were pretty awful! I was wondering all morning where the cake was (I was excited to see it), and I guess the hostesses only put it out on the table after I sat down to start opening gifts, ha! I did see a photo after, though, and it really wasn't that bad. They did a great job hostessing.

Aside from that, I feel like I got a little taste of the hustle and bustle of the wedding day! It's a job to make sure you visit with every one of your guests. Unfortunately, I didn't get too many photos capturing the day - I attempted to set up my tripod but after the card showed "full' almost immediately after the shower started, I gave up. I was too busy to mess around with the camera. :( Kinda a bummer. Here's one (i-phone) photo that I like, though, with some of my VIG's. Very Important Guests. Duh. :)


Although I got a lot of really great appliances, bathroom accessories and decor - this duvet cover is definitely in the running for favorite gift of the day. I love this bed-set.


































Next weekend my Maid of Honor is hosting a "DIY Day" for me - this is in place of a bachelorette party since I'm just not wild enough for one of those. ;) So, we're going to make a DIY headboard and silver leaf my parent's old nightstands.

Will let ya'll know how it goes!  Xo

  2. One of my favorite parts of preparing for the wedding was the showers. They were so fun to me. I love your bedding set. That's pretty. A DIY day sounds like fun. I had a bachelorette weekend, but it was basically my friends and I relaxing at the beach. I'm not the wild type either. :)
