Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Bridal Shower

A day all about Ashlyn and showing her with gifts for the wedding. I was grateful to have her Maid of Honor (and her family) help me plan and decorate the special event!

She thought of everything from a photo board of the engaged couple...


To a bubbly bar (mimosas).


The food was my contribution, so we had mini croissant sandwiches, veggie cups, fruit, and kale salad.



Alex's mom and sister even drove down from Raleigh, NC to be there!


Before opening presents, all the guests had to fill out a Bingo card with ideas of what she might receive. It was pretty clever because no matter what she opened, she would hear "Yay!!" from the room. It was the best!


Ashlyn received amazing gifts for their new house like beautiful vases, a plant, and a blanket basket for the living room...


A steamer, air fryer, and mixing bowls for the kitchen...


Towels and accessory containers for the bathroom.


Plus several crosses, gift cards, and other items that were all thoughtful and much appreciated! After the winning Bingo card was awarded, a special visitor walked in...


Alex gave a sweet introduction about himself and how they met. He was then given the final present to open...a recipe box filled with favorite recipes from all the guests! 


As the shower ended, everyone had a chance to snap a photo with the bride. The backdrop was so pretty!


The happy couple took one final photo before we had to clean up. The two were blown away at the event and loved seeing so many friends and family who took time out of their busy day to attend. We hope to see everyone in August!
