Wedding Wednesday {Shower Power}

I promised everyone a sneak peak into the "high tea" shower that my family threw this weekend. Having never been to a proper high tea before I'm not sure all the standards were met but it certainly felt like it!

Of course Chloe had to join in the fun! And now it's on to the final details because we're at just 5 weeks away from the big day my dears. 

Update: Some important details I forgot to explain. Family members collected tea cups and tea pots from friends and neighbors. Every creamer, sugar bowl and plate had the proper serving utensil all found on Etsy. And all the beautiful finger foods were homemade. The super yummy customized teapot cake and cupcakes were made by the uber talented Clarissa, proprietor of Cupbakes. It was all an amazing amount of work for a truly charming afternoon!

Wedding Wednesday {Showered in Flowers}

Last weekend I had a bridal shower with family and my closest friends but that was really the only thing traditional about it. 

We held it potluck style at my favorite space, Rialto (you may have read about it here!) and filled with lovely flowers arranged by Miss Cassandra.

 After noshing on tons of delicious homemade treats I opened my gifts - but I wasn't surprised when I received over 30 thrifted vases. It was exactly as I'd requested! It let my girls look for a budget friendly item and now I have all the lovely vintage milk glass vases I need for my wedding reception flowers!

I'm so grateful for the showering of generosity and love. Thanks ladies!
