Susan's Bridal Shower ((recap, sort of--photo style))

The shower went so great. I really think the day was special for my sister and all the little details I'd imagined in my brain came together pretty well in the end.

I could talk about this a lot--but I'd rather just show you photos, well, cuz it's easier.

(silhouettes are SO fun and so easy...just profile shots, taken into photoshop--search tutorials online!--candy guessing game--burlap banners galore that I made)
(bought all the flowers in bulk, arranged them--fancied up my own stock of vases with burlap & lace accents--cookies by The Kake Lady, a local friend-tags on cookies from minted.com)
(mad-lib idea via pinterest, just my own design--same with "he says, she says" game--invitations from minted! (these photos by lyryn))
(cake and cupcakes made by my SIL, Lyryn-cake bunting by moi. painted the tray & made into a chalkboard as you can see--advice board top right)
(oh look, the hostess in action--my beautiful sister, Susan & my momma--and all the bridesmaids  (these photos by Lyryn))
(gift bags for winners that had a small starbucks gift card & candy bar!)

Feel free to watch the video below...it's short. Just some mini-clips of the day--nothing spectacular but gives you a feel of the day and let's you see my gorgeous sister in action ;)
 

Such a pretty shower for a pretty sister...who deserves no less!

(photos in this post were a combo of mine & my sister-in-law, Lyryn's)

I've already told you this but FABULOUS job! Seriously! I love the girly but still kind of rustic feel to it all! And I'm slightly obsessed with mint right now so there's that!
