Last weekend my mom and I teamed up and hosted a bridal shower brunch for our good friends, Jon & Alisha. We lucked out and had gorgeous weather to accompany tasty food, and good friends.
To coordinate with the wedding colors, we chose a bright pink and light green theme.
The towel cake centerpiece pulled double duty and was also our gift to the special couple. Created using chocolate brown towels, it definitely looked good enough to eat! (Visit www.yourweddingcompany.com for project instructions.) We served simple brunch foods, including mini muffins, ham and cheese rollups, creme puffs, yogurt and granola parfaits, hashbrown potato casserole, mini quiche, fruit salad, meatballs and of course Bloody Marys and Mimosas!
My mom, creative genius that she is, came up with an adorable "chandelier" for the gift table. An inverted umbrella filled with colored tissue paper added a splash of color and floated delicately over the shower gifts.
Favor boxes were in the shape of a wedding dress, filled with pink and green Hershey's kisses and tied with ribbons. These favor boxes are a real steal at 10 for $1 at Dollar Tree. A fun shower game, that your guests don't have to become too involved in is Ring-A-Ding-Ding. Set a kitchen timer as the bride-to-be is opening gifts. When the timer goes off, the gift giver of the package she is opening at that time gets a small gift as well! This can be repeated multiple times, and the bride usually gets all the little gifts!
And last, but not least a shot of the happy couple modeling their hand sewn MU aprons! (Fantastic job, Sandy W!) We wish you many, many years of wedded bliss! Can't wait til the big day!
