{ Showered with Love }
It’s a typical bridal shower game. The groom is asked a series of questions prior to the shower, then the bride is asked the same questions in the hopes that they answer in sync. This bridal shower had a tech-savvy version, complete with the groom’s answers on video. The final question: “what phrase do you use the most between you two?” There were a few misaligned answers to some of the earlier questions, but for this one, the bride and the groom answered in perfect harmony.
“I love you.”
Joyce’s bridal shower was held a couple weekends ago and as a bridesmaid I got to assist in the planning. After throwing around a few themes we decided on a tea party because the idea of cute teapots, dainty snacks, and colorful summer dresses was just too alluring to pass up! Although I contributed a bit (like purchasing 18 tons of toilet paper for the infamous TP bride game), I was amazed by the work of the other bridesmaids and mainly her sister, the maid of honor. They all came up with such cute ideas and exquisite touches that really made the bridal shower something memorable and oh-so-Joyce – classy, girly, and unique. Joyce contributed a lot of her own personal touches as well (like amazing dipped shortbread cookies for favors… did I mention she’s in culinary school? Lucky us!!) I was so glad I brought my camera because I could not get enough of the detail shots!
Joyce, like always, was all smiles:
The preparations:
Lots of details… the gorgeous floral arrangements were created by the groom’s mother:
I thought it was awesome how the decor of the clubhouse matched our theme. Everything sans what’s on the tables was already there!
Meet Gloria – Joyce’s sister, MOH, and miracle worker :)
The goodies!
These were my contributions:
Fun and games:
Present time! Thought these were adorable: 
I’ll let your imagination go wild for this one…
Lastly, a shot with Joyce and Christine, two of my very best friends. We’ve all known each other since junior high – seems we were just passing notes (folded into hearts and other creative shapes, of course) between classes to each other and now one of us is getting MARRIED. Where oh where has the time gone??
