Bridal Shower

With the FMIL's pals

So here in the Ohio valley, the ladies love their bridal showers!

Let me just start off by saying these pictures were all sent to me via friends cell phones and I dont have any of the digital camera pix yet!

My bridal shower this past weekend was celebrated with 80 guests!! Most of them were friends of FMIL. She wanted to throw a big shower for me because she wanted me [and her son, of course] to get a bunch of nice things and she only has one child which is my FH so she would never have another chance to throw a bridal shower again.

She had our wedding decorator also do the decorations for the shower. The cupcake table was my favorite.

On the day of my shower I also did a hair trial. I was really thinking I wanted some form of side pony tail for the wedding so i had the woman do my hair just like an inspiration photo I found. Well, it didnt stay up very long and got frizzy quick. Also, my scalp is VERY sensitive! I dont know why that didnt cross my mind, but after the first hour my scalp was aching. That's just not practical for an 8 hour wedding day. So I might have to just wear it down, or find a style with less bobby pins!!!

My mom flew all the way from california ON HER BIRTHDAY to come to my shower! it was so awesome! Her and FMIL got to know each other a little better as well as the rest of FH's family so that was nice and emotional, but overall a good trip :)

at the end of my shower FH came in and surprised me with flowers!!! Rainbow roses! He helped me unwrap the rest of my gifts and then he drew names for prizes!!

Lastly, for this cookie table I'll be doing at my wedding, I mostly want to have baskets but I thought it would be cute to two platters on either end of the cookie buffet line. One Ohio platter, and one California platter! I didnt order the California one yet [I may have to wait until i get my summer job back lol] but the Ohio one came in the mail!!!! Its sooooo cute and has that wooden rustic feel :) ALso, there is a heart on his hometown :) so perfect!

Well, I'll update you ladies when I get more pictures. And if you've been following my honeymoon drama, I haven't gotten a call back from them yet! *sigh*

Happy Planning!
