Sweet Romance Bridal Shower - Part 2 of 2

Here are pictures from the party setup.  I was very lucky to also attend this party and had an amazing time!  The bride-to-be, Victoria's friends and family are so nice and sweet and even though Victoria was the only one there I knew, I still felt so welcomed and had so much fun!

Dessert table 1 - strawberry & chocolate cake pops and strawberries & cream

Favor take out containers so guests could take more sweets home

Dessert table 2 - english toffe & meringue cookies from Trader Joes, strawberries & cream, and cake pops

Guests were asked to give the bride advice at this table; Victoria's sisters, bridesmaids,
and mother also held their prizes for games here; the games they played were amazing!

Sweet Romance Bridal Shower - Part 1 of 2

My friend Victoria was one of the first to support me in this new endeavor.  And when she told me she wanted help to plan her bridal shower, I was very excited!  Not only to return the favor, but to be able to decorate in a way that fits Victoria's impecable taste!  She wanted classic romance with a little glam.  I created another fan backdrop for this one because this is my new favorite decoration.  We also added a few new things for desserts and as always used Trader Joe's for cookies & flowers.
