Love is Sweet: Bridal Shower



My Sister in Law Emily got married last year and I had the honor of helping throw her a bridal shower. It was an evening dessert shower set in a beautiful backyard. 






Burlap runners, antique dishes and mismatched crystal goblets set the mood. 




Sunflowers in mason jars helped set the stage for what the wedding centerpieces would look like.


Ready for all the yummy desserts!!
 




Homemade fruit tarts: My moms recipe...they are amazing!!  


 Reese peanut butter trifle 


Chocolate & Vanilla Cupcakes with classic butter cream frosting 

Drinks: Iced Tea, Mocha Punch, Water infused with fresh fruit


The sign was a surprise!! I think she liked it :) 



We had a wonderful evening celebrating Emily, enjoying lots of desserts and good company.

Bridal showers are one of my favorite occasions to plan and design for. 
Do you have a special celebration coming up? Smashing designs would love to help!

Have a lovely day
