A Pink Shower Soiree!

This past weekend I attended my friend Vanessa's bridal shower.  It was held at Joseph Filippi Winery and Vineyards in Rancho Cucamonga. The day started off cloudy but then the sun came out it and it turned out to be a beautiful day!

Pink, pink and more pink! So lets get started with some details!

Each table setting had a vase filled with pink hearts and glass pebbles. Fresh flowers sat atop and looked beautiful. Pink pebbles and wedding word confetti were scattered around... along with a  bottle of champagne! 

 

Each guest was given a champagne glass from the winery. They were filled with yummy pink jelly beans!

At each place setting sat a wine cork holding a variety of beautiful quotes...click to enlarge.

The strawberry water...was seriously delicious and refreshing!

My favorite part was the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! 

I loved the three tiered crystal stand.

Some delicious yummy desserts!

Strawberries.....what a creative way to display and serve them to your guests.

And now..some pictures of us ladies! The beautiful bride is wearing bright blue!

They even decorated the tall plants in the background.. 

This is the bridal party!

It was such a beautiful day to celebrate! Congratulations Vanessa!

DIY Seed Packets

I'm helping to throw a bridal shower this coming April and have been hard at work creating some nice DIY projects. I came across this free seed packet template over at Ruffled!

photo from Ruffled

They give you three different designs to work with...I couldn't make up my mind so I'm using them all! Using a light pink cardstock (The Brides favorite color) I printed off several sheets! Here are a list of items I used.

paper cutter (makes it go faster)

scissors

creaser & bone folder

self healing mat

double stick tape

 It takes a while to crease and cut them all out so maybe do a couple each night so you don't get burned out :) Here are a few pictures!

Here is a picture of the creases...which totally makes it 100% easier to fold nice and precise!

 All that is left is to fill them with flower seeds!

I am not sure what to put on the packet..possible the type of flowers seeds it will contain.. we will see! It felt good to jump into a DIY project..it's definitely been a while!

Jewels & Shoes

The pictures that I look forward to seeing when photographers feature a wedding would definitely be the jewels and shoes! Maybe it brings out the little girl in me! Here are some of my favorite!

New Years Eve Wedding

When we got engaged...we never gave thought to having a New Years Eve wedding. First, we live on the east coast, so we didn't want to deal with the cold weather and the snow.. but as I think more about it...it definitely would have been an awesome idea. One of my girlfriends told me the other day that they would be planning a NYE wedding and it made me think of this wedding that was just covered by Hazelnut Photography this past new years... Think how much fun the reception would be!!

You would need tons of champagne!

There would be tons of kissing!

You would definitely capture some goofy moments!

Confetti...horns...hats..is a must!

So, my friend Jana...I am all for your NYE's wedding!! What a way to bring in your new year!
