It Poured. Waterzooi Tea party theme shower!
So, it did pour for me this weekend!! My mom, the very bad liar that she is, finally got me to confess that I knew that it was this past Sunday! She also had to fess up because there was a 'wardrobe malfunction' on Friday night. (Dry cleaner RUINED a brand new dress but it all worked out ok. Mom bought me a new dress on Saturday just in time for the shower!)
My bridal party and my mother did an amazing job. They knew i LOVED waterzooi and I love tea. It was a tea party theme. They made CP's out of white teapots, a menu box where all the attendees sent in their favorite recipe and the CUTEST favor. A sugar cookie shaped like a fan with cherry blossoms. The cookies were pink and green (my colors). They put them in a bag and hand stamped all the bags with a pretty dress! My mom hired Irina from Creative i Photography but she hasn't sent me the proofs yet but when she does, I will post. She is FABULOUS.
The first gift I opened up was my grandmother's china. It was so special. I lost her four years ago and it's very sad that she's not with me to celebrate. She would have adored my FH and vice versa. I thought it was kismet that the first box I happened to choose was hers. It even had written on the box, in her handwriting 'mama's china.'
Here is a link to the album and a link to the cookie!
I am so blessed and I'm still grinning from ear to ear about the day!!
Enjoy the pics. These are from my friends. I will post the professional photographer photos when she sends them over!
