Well it was a given when my cousin on my husband’s side of family was getting married that I was going to throw the bridal shower. I mean if there is a party to be given, I want to do it! Ashley is a very kind soul and I knew I wanted to shower her with love this day.

Ashley demanded that the party be hassle free since she did not want to put anyone out. See what I mean about being a kind soul! In last few years Ashley and now her hubby Todd, have donated their time to saving animals and enjoy the outdoors together so I knew I wanted to bring some natural elements. Since I was assisting in the wedding I knew her colors where navy blue and lime green. So with that I created this bridal shower invitation

Bridal shower invitation will be available on our new Wedding Tulle website.

I had decided to honor the wishes of the bride to be and keep the food very simple with fruits, veggies, cheeses and sandwiches.

I think we can all agree that a party is not a party without some yummy dessert! I decided to do cupcakes because I feel they have a playfulness to them and who doesn’t LOVE a cupcake!

Cupcakes were made by Cake’s by Request if your not following their facebook make sure you do!

I had decided to do a marshmallow dipped in caramel and then rolled in either coconut, chopped almonds or pecans as our favor and they were a hit! Peri and Sandi at Cake’s by Request mentioned them to me so I whipped them up they day before the party…the best thing they were EASY!

As a little natural element I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest and I had each guest write a message to Ashley on a rock using paint pens. I then read them out loud to the guest and of course a few giggles were shared.

The above rock was by Ashley’s mom and I think we can all agree its a perfect one.

Thank you Ashley for letting me be a part of your wonderful day. You are an amazing woman and it has be an honor watching you become who you are today.
