Finally- Melissa's Bridal Shower

Thank you for waiting so patiently for me to show you the rest of my friend Melissa's Bridal Shower.
Remember it was a vintage theme with with dark blue, canary yellow, chocolate brown and pops of robin egg blue.


I framed the bride and grooms initials
and the shower invitation.
My sister Katie arranged the beautiful bouquets of flowers.
We personalized each glass and the girls drank out of mason jars.
All of the food eventually ended up on these tables. I made that doily banner too and it was so easy. You're supposed to sew the doilies to the bias tape but I just hot glued mine since I have no idea how to sew. You can find directions here for how to make your own banner.
I lined the tables with lace (found by the bride and my friend Leah at thrift stores & the lace will also be used for the wedding reception)

The lace created a runner down the length of the table

The silverware was Vintage & once belonged to my friend Jocelyn's (the hostess) Grandmother.



I think the cake table was my favorite part of the shower. I just love dessert especially when it's homemade.

The cake was this delicious lemony flavor and it was specially made by a wonderful young woman named Stephanie, who just recently started cake making as her hobby (she's so good).

I am looking forward to Melissa's wedding in less than 2 weeks. I will have more pictures then of the wedding and reception too.

On a totally unrelated subject, here are some of my Christmas decorations up in my house. The colors are inspired by this anthropologie banner my mom gave me a few years back. I love that banner!
