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!

Etsy Bridal Shower

"Hearts and flowers,
ribbons and lace,
the look of love is on her face.
A happy heart is hard to hide,
this little lady will soon be a bride!"

I haven't had a chance to post anything the last few days because I have been so busy getting ready for my sister's bridal shower! So many things to do! In my quest for the right gift in the past month I did spend a lot of time on Etsy browsing through all of the beautiful vintage and handmade possibilities for presents. I found some lovely things and I thought - since it is bridal season now - I might not be the only one in need of ideas! So here are some of the beautiful things that I found and thought would make sweet wedding or shower gifts! I hope you enjoy looking through them and remember to take a peek at the Etsy stores they come from for more goodies!
