Bridal Shower Fiesta
While reminiscing on my sisters magical wedding last weekend in Cabo, I decided to share all the details of the Bridal Shower Fiesta I threw her prior to the big day. What better way to shower the future bride with love than by throwing a fiesta. Especially because for as long as I can remember my sister has loved margaritas and tortilla chips. I would say they are her favorite foods. Who doesn’t love a fresh margarita and some tortilla chips? Throwing parties is just so much fun. I love piecing together all of the details. From the small little things to the large overall design. There is just something…

Dancing Down the Aisle
Dancing down the aisle is just what I did on 20OCT2018. I danced down the aisle in memory of my Dad and so I didn’t cry the entire way. I lost my Dad 4 years ago and was to date the hardest moment in life. My Dad was my rock, the lemon to my lemonade, because when there were lemons he always knew how to make lemonade for me. My Dad was and is one of the best men to walk. I am not just saying that from the selfish point of being his child, I am saying that from the point of him being the kindest and most giving…

Colorado Wedding Shower
What a whirl wind these past two months have been. I was blessed to have another wedding shower last weekend and be celebrated by the best of the best in Colorado. We did a fabulous brunch at Ophelias Electric Soapbox that was a memory I will forever treasure. The Saturday morning started out like any other with pure barre and espresso. The seemingly normal Saturday morning soon became a bit more than any other weekend. I got dressed up in a cute lace/embroidered romper and sparkle heels and popped in the Uber to Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox in Denver. The Decor We were seated in the lower/basement area…

Wisconsin Wedding Shower
Last weekend was truly an amazing weekend. I was surrounded by friends and family for my Wisconsin Wedding Shower. It was a fabulous weekend full of food, fun and games to name a few. The shower exceeded all expectations I could have ever had for a wedding shower and the memories are a permanent reminder of just how loved I am. Preface While I was in college I worked for an amazing family in the Madison area basically doing anything and everything that was needed. It was the best job, not only for the flexibility while carrying a full college load, but for the family I worked with and grew…

Bridal Shower Packing
It’s crazy that we are under 100 days until the wedding and even more crazy that the wedding events have started. This weekend I have the pleasure of being pampered by close friends and family for my Wisconsin Bridal Shower. What a treat! Where did the idea of a bridal/wedding shower even begin. After doing some research online it seems bridal showers seemed from earlier dowry practices. When a woman got married she would bring a dowry with her. If the woman’s family was poor or didn’t support her marriage a shower was a way to fill her dowry before marriage. The bridal shower allowed her to marry exactly who…
