Wedding Wednesday: Bridal Shower

I requested that everything on my shower day be a surprise, and on Saturday morning I felt like a 5 year old on Christmas morning! I was so excited to put on my new dress and head to my shower because I knew that my amazing hostesses would throw a memorable day and, as always, they didn't let me down. I could never recap all the wonderfulness in a blog post, but here's just a snapshot of the day.

Me and my beautiful hostesses & some of the decor!

Hanging out after & my happiness over the deep fryer Alex will make yummy southern food in!

the food spread!

  

The Bubbly Bar!

The Sweet Treats

Just a few of the amazing gifts I was blessed with!

I can't thank all these women enough for coming to help me celebrate becoming a MRS. and those who live hundreds (and thousands) of miles of way who were there in spirit, too :) 

I am so blessed to have all of you to share this time with!

Bridal Shower: Sneak Peek!

This weekend my Sister, SIL and Mama threw me the most beautiful bridal shower. They really outdid themselves with the decor, the eats and the drinks! So many wonderful women, from all walks of my life, came to help me celebrate this special time. Thank you to all who were a part, you truly know how to make a bride feel loved! 

I couldn't have imagined a more perfect day, and I'm loving going through all the photos. 

More to come later this week...

Five on Friday

HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOO FRIDAY!

ONE. This could really be happy things 1-5....I'm exploding with excitement today even though this work week has been "one of those" because...tomorrow is my bridal shower! I know a lot of planning has gone into it, and I feel so blessed and can't wait to attend =) I am also super excited to wear this LWD that I've been oozing over in my closet ever since I purchased it!

TWO. Next week the fiance and I are headed to Wilmington for one last pre-wedding trip to do some hair/makeup trials (well that's just me), taste testing, and venue visit. I'm looking forward to getting some more things finalized!

THREE. New home! After living with my parents for 9 months to save for the married life, we've decided to get an apartment again. Words can't describe how excited I am to make this new little place our home. I've already been drooling over potential home decor like these little planters that would go great on our wrap-around balcony!

FOUR. This week I marked another huge check off the ol' to-do list! I finished designing and uploading our invitations to Wedding Paper Divas. I can't wait to see the finished product in a few weeks...here's to hoping my vision becomes real!

FIVE. Hot & Spicy. The sentimental crazy person in me decided that I needed the same color nails for my bridal shower as when I was engaged. One of my fave OPI colors, and it makes me giddy!
