So. Today was MY sister's bridal shower!! So, yes, it was a BIG deal. I mean, she's my one and only sibling. And we're all pretty excited. She flew here from DC for the weekend to find a wedding dress (found it!) and have the shower and so my parents also came down.
While I was the official "party planner" I could not have done it without my mom, who did so much for it. One of Erin's friends also helped out with some things and I am so grateful.
The theme I decided on was a berry theme, and I think everything turned out pretty good. :)
The flowers in the berry crates were an idea from online and my friend Adrian helped and taught me how to arrange them. I was proud of them. :)
We had it at my grandma's neighbor's house, because, well, it was perfect. (and they have an entire western town back there also. This is unrelated to the party but it was fun for the guests to tour afterwards. Yes, a western town with a saloon and bank and post office and hotel is in their backyard.)
(We had the party on their terrace area. Not in the western town.)
This vintage table cloth was given to Erin as a gift afterwards.
We had these rad plates made out of palm leaves and wooden forks.
Milk and raspberry lemonade in mini glass jugs and water with lemons and cranberries.
There were berries all around.
We had fancy cheese: asiago in rosemary, white cheddar in cocoa powder, cranberry chipotle, and smoked gouda. mmmmmmm
I also made some sweet berry bread from scratch.
Asparagus and ham roll ups with cream cheese.
And lemon honey sticks.
I can't wait for my sister to get married in September! I am beyond grateful for my family.

Carrie we were sad you missed it too. But I LOVE the table runners and it looks like Georgia had fun. And yes, A WESTERN TOWN! Anna, did you take pictures of it??
The shower was epic. Best sister and mom ever!
Do we get a picture of the prospective groom? We couldn’t really see him very well at Dad’s party yesterday.
I don't know how you are so amazing but...you are!
Never throw another party again? Yeah right ;)
Okay I have been the worst commenter ever lately *sorry* but WOW! I was blown away with your incredible baby shower for Carrie and then you turn right around and have another bash complete with palm leaf plates and wooden forks? You need to teach me how to throw a party :). And congrats to Erin!!!!
I'm sorry to tell you this Anna, but you will never stop throwing parties! You were born to throw parties. :)
Wish I could have been there!
