Nicole is getting married at the end of May. I had the privilege to help throw her shower with 3 of my favorite people! In the picture below (from left to right) are the hostesses with Nicole: Tommie Lee, Suzi, Nicole, Jean and me. It was so much fun to plan! And it has been the LEAST stressful shower I have ever thrown. These women are so easy to work with and all just desire to serve the Lord. It was awesome! We did everything in hot pink and black...including what we wore. :)
If you've even thrown a shower at your church, then you probably are aware that those big Sunday School rooms are very hard to decorate. There is a lot of empty space! In the particular room we used, there were 5 skinny, tall windows. They make a statement. So we filled them with boa's and feathers and the gift bag decor. The gift bags have become one of my new favorite ideas. They are inexpensive and look super cute! They can be decorated in any color you are using. Plus, (my favorite) they show off the couple! So many bridal showers are for the bride only (which I completely think is fine....few men want to be there anyway), but I like to find ways to include the groom b/c this is about him also. On each bag, I hot glued an engagement picture to it and then took large rhinestones and hot glued them to each corner. It gives guests the opportunity to see the engagement pictures and adds a small touch of the couple to any shower (or b-day party...like
here).
This was the table right by the door. I'm not a big game-player at showers. I truly believe woman like to come in and just visit...and eat! :) Very few people really like to make toilet paper-wedding dresses. So instead, we just had each guest write down advice and their favorite thing about marraige (and, yes, I'm aware I spelled marraige incorrectly on one...I KNEW it looked funny!!!). This table also had the favors for the guests as they left.
The Cake Table:
All the goodies!
Hot Pink and Black and all the Girlie-Fun!
Mother-of-the-Bride and the Bride :)
With the flower girl!
It's so fun to celebrate their upcoming marriage and what God is doing! So very thankful to be a part of their big day! Can't wait for the wedding!!!!
