About a month ago, we had a bridal shower for a special lady named Kacie. In nine days, Kacie will become my brother Brian's wife. If ever a bridal shower was as lovely as the bride being celebrated, Kacie's Bridal Shower certainly was. Check it out:

| You're Invited... |
 |
| Tricia Gail made these cross-stitched favor tags. |
 |
| Tea Party |
 |
| Brian got his unsuspecting lady to her Bridal Shower right on time! |
 |
| Future Mr & Mrs M |
 |
| ErinKacieSara sandwich. Delish. |
 |
| Lovely guests! |
 |
| Ladies Maslowski...watch out. |
 |
| Erica and her mommy! Seriously, best chefs/hosts/hot ladies ever! |
 |
| Dream Team: NJ |
 |
| L-Rod! |
 |
| So much good food. Hey Tricia Gail! |
 |
| Guest book signing, and no my dress doesn't have tulle or a crinoline underneath it. Sigh. |
 |
| Betty loves her Kacie. |
 |
| Damn Sara and her excellent taste in accessories. |
 |
| Frosting. Toppings. Fillings. Our DYO Cupcake Bar had it all. We love labels. |
 |
| That's right. All that dessert is just for her. |
 |
| Swarm! |
 |
| Ryane G of a Lukewarm Account of Happenings threatens to jump if she doesn't get to the front of the cupcake line. Laura W talks her down. |
 |
| Cupcake happy. |
 |
| Consumed. |
 |
| You're a lucky woman, Kacie... |
 |
| Okay, she seriously is. |

A couple things:
1) I'm thinking of buying stock in Kleenex. For the last month or so, anything Brian and Kacie wedding related has sent me into tears. And by anything I mean helping Betty pick out her dress for the wedding, designing the future Mr & Mrs M's wedding program, making this photo story, and green traffic lights because green is one of Kacie's wedding colors. Ok, I'm lying about the traffic lights. That's just dangerous.
2) This spectacular bridal shower could not/would not have happened without the organization, hard work, creativity, and hottness of the following ladies:
Erica: Beautiful house, delicious food, and a true knack for keeping me from going insane during the planning. Love. This. Girl. Also, my aunt ML told me that she thinks Erica's mom is hot. While this is true, that's not a weird statement...at all.
Sara: Ask and you shall receive is her motto. Made two delicious quiches I'm still thinking about and never lost her nursely cool. No one needed Sara's medical attention during the shower, thankfully. However, she did wear a gorgeous Michael Kors watch that caught my attention and has since set my bank account back a bit. Thanks a lot Sara.
Erin: The final member of the NJ bridesmaid dream team. How she baked all the delicious cupcakes for the DYO Cupcake bar and dealt with and promptly responded to all my insane lists and emails all while raising the most adorable child in the world? I don't know, you can ask her for her Super Mom secrets.
Tricia Gail: I think I may have to start paying you for being my friend, TG. Since the day talks of this NJ shower began, Tricia Gail was on board to help. She shared ideas from her own lovely sissy's, Jillian M of Delirious Kitchen, bridal shower, volunteered a ton of her time to help me with cupcake wrappers, signs, and favor tags and assembly. On the day of the shower, she came with me and helped me set up, take photos, serve food, and clean up. Is there a better friend out there? No, there really isn't. I need yet another a kleenex.
Lovely readers, I cannot wait to "get Joppled" in nine days. I'm bringing the Cadillac of cameras along with me to Missouri and promise to bring back a whole volume of photo stories for you.
Lots of love to Brian and Kacie. I cannot wait to see you two get hitched!

This was amazing Lauren! You forgot to mention all the incredible ideas and theme that made this shower possible. YOU were the "Mavrick" of this operation, and we were all your "Goose" or "Geese" but you know what I am talking about. You went above and beyond to make this shower special for your new sister. Very touching and heart warming. :) See ya soon, Roomie! :) XOXOX
ReplyDeleteThis looks so beautiful! Great job girl! Thank goodness we have such a great bunch of ladies lined up to help out with TG's shower... looking at this makes my brain wheels spin with ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Lauren!! Everything looked beautiful--and really yummy!! Have an awesome time in Missouri next week. Congratulations to Kacie and Brian!
ReplyDeleteLauren, this is really unbelievable! All of you did such a great job - wish I could have been there! Can't wait to see all of you. Just one more week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing her bridal shower photo story here. It was an enchanting post and was very enjoyable for me to read through. Very soon I am going to host the Bohemian wedding shower for my cousin so planning to book one of the outdoor rental spaces for parties. I am sure it would also be enjoyable as this one.
