Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s nice to be back after a long weekend – a weekend full of bridal bliss for my little sister Ashley. I was fortunate enough to make the trek down to Dallas to celebrate my sister’s upcoming wedding with family and friends. Visits home are always too short and we try to pack in too many things, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. A bridal shower during the day, bachelorette party that night… we were crazy busy but had oodles of fun!
If you saw the sneak peak I posted last week, you already know that the shower was Tiffany Blue and Chocolate Brown with little hints of turquoise and green. Let’s take a look…
I’m really infatuated with paper pom poms, so we lined the ceiling with Tiffany Blue ones. A large white ‘B’ welcomed guests at the front door. We also used a ‘B’ monogram throughout the shower on things such as the food tags, favors, and name tags. The shower invitation was used to create a sign-in sheet that doubles as a nice keepsake for the bride. For the favors, my older sis baked chocolate chip cookies (the bride’s fav) and bagged them up, attaching a turquoise ribbon and tag.
We played two shower games including “How Well Do You Know the Bride” where everyone answered questions about Ashley. To spice things up, we had the groom give us his answers ahead of time, so we could see how well he did!
Flower arrangements with white tulips, calla lilies and hyacinths adorned the food table. The menu included
Chicken Caesar Sandwiches, Spinach Dip,
Cheese Straws, cheese and fruit. Drinks included lemonade, coffee, water and a sparkling
white cranberry Prosecco punch. For sweets, we had chocolate chip cookies, brownies and chocolate chip cupcakes topped with vanilla buttercream icing and drizzled with chocolate.
This shower wouldn’t have come together with out the help of my family (who are so sweet and put up with my craziness). A special thank you to Sunny, Jenn and Sheila for all of their help making this day so special for Ashley. And congrats to Ashley and Dustin! We’re looking forward to the big day!
So so beautiful!! Love those colors, and the treats look delightful!!
Blessings-

I can’t thank everyone enough! The shower was better than I could have imagined- food, treats, and decor were all perfect! Thanks for putting in so much effort to make this weekend so special!!!
Looks like we had the same weekend! ;D
I love the fabrics you used, and the monogram tags are so cute. Now, how do we store all those Poms?!
Love it! Thanks for sharing! Do you have a “how to” on how to make the pom poms? They’re SO FESTIVE!!
Thanks everyone! Naz – there is a great tutorial on how to make the pom poms here on marthastewart.com. Hope it helps!
Too cute Carrie! I love how you used the B monogram throughout the shower. Congrats to your sister!!
Love the color scheme and the fun fabrics! Are you going to post pics from the wedding? Hope so!
Oh so fun! I love the fabrics and the monogram tags. And the cupcakes look delicious!
What an incredible talent you have, multiplied by your calm manor, attended with fine detail, and mixed with huge doses of love and warmth. What a wonderful shower and time together!!
Wow I cant believe who is creating all these crazy posts. Your content is excellent and it attracts a lot of amounts of these types comments. Good luck and keep up for the work!
This party is gorgeous! Where did you purchase the ribbon…table runner and the monogramed tags? And what would you call the color of the party? Is it Tiffany Blue or Robyn Egg?
Thank you in advance for your help.
You are very talented.
Take Care,
Karena
Thank you Karena! I would actually call the lighter blue a ‘Tiffany Blue’ and the darker is more of a turquoise. The ribbon was purchased at Hancock Fabrics along with the blue fabric which I used to make the table runners. I designed the monogram tags in Photoshop and printed them on white card stock.
Hope that info helps!
