Emma's Bridal Shower

"There is only one happiness in life,
to love and be loved."
               ~George Sand

   After a lovely and exhausting weekend I finally have some bridal shower pictures to share! The party was a great success with A LOT of wonderful friends, superb food, beautiful gifts, and FUN!!! My Nana made chicken crepes and a gorgeous salad for the luncheon and there were beautiful treats for dessert! I ended up giving Emma a plethora of goodies I found in about ten different stores (I just couldn't decide on one thing!!). I did order a very pretty black and white polka dot apron from the wonderful Etsy shop Creative Chics. There is a picture of it below with another beautiful apron a friend of ours bought her from Anthropology. She is going to be so pretty when she's in her kitchen!! I hope you like these photos of the day - I only had time to take a few pictures of the gifts afterwards - there were many more! Emma's favorite color is green and everyone seemed to know it!! I designed the bridal shower invitations from one of the gowns I drew last year (her favorite one). Enjoy the pictures!

  5. Thankyou so much! You are all so sweet! Emma did look like a princess for her shower. She was wearing a beautiful vintage lace dress and I bought the little crown for her. :) I'm glad you like the pictures! The little teacake pan is wonderful - I bought it from Williams and Sonoma. The mini tiered wedding cakes were also made using a beautiful nordicware pan. They have such nifty things! Thanks again!
