Okay you guys… this post is much overdue. \u00a0A long time ago, I did a post on my Breakfast at Tiffany’s Bridal Shower, and I really enjoyed sharing the details of the event. \u00a0The only thing? \u00a0I was a newbie blogger, photographer, and photoshopper. \u00a0(Yes, I did just make up the word photoshopper.) \u00a0Now, I have a new and improved webpage (adios blogspot!) and I am a little better with editing my photos. \u00a0I am by\u00a0no means<\/em> a pro, or even an intermediate user for that matter. \u00a0I just do some tweaks here and there to make it to where I<\/em> like the picture better. \u00a0I’ve also learned that bigger pictures look better on blogs! \u00a0This is a tip I didn’t know at the time of my first bridal shower post. \u00a0So, with all of that being said, I would like to share some better pictures that hopefully do my Breakfast at Tiffany’s inspired bridal shower a little more justice. \u00a0Here we go :)<\/p>\n

Decorative Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

The setting: \u00a0Outdoors in my Mom’s yard in June. \u00a0The weather was perfect, although it did rain (well, more-like sprinkle) briefly. \u00a0That was fine with me though- I heard that if it rains at your bridal shower it’s good luck! \u00a0We set up a table underneath an outdoor tent, and my sister-in-law made it look stunning. \u00a0She made a Tiffany blue table cloth with white runners, so that the table looked like a Tiffany box! \u00a0Perfection! \u00a0<\/i>And, the china we used was her shower gift to me!<\/p>\n

We used white carnations from Safeway (cheap but beautiful) and pink peonies from Costco. \u00a0I had no idea Costco would have peonies, so this was a score! \u00a0We also used fake craft diamonds and pearls to scatter on the table. \u00a0I had a dainty chandelier we hung in the tent, and we borrowed a stand up chandelier for the center of the table. \u00a0The decorations were very simple and I used a lot of things I already had such as glassware and candles. \u00a0We added some pink and white balloons too, because they say “celebrate” to me :)<\/p>\n

The champagne flutes shown in the pictures were one of the favors. \u00a0We spray painted the bottom with chalk paint and wrote \u00a0the guest’s name on the bottom to serve as place cards. \u00a0We put after dinner mints in the flute as well. \u00a0They got to take the glasses home with them.<\/p>\n

Food Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Food always seems to be a key part of my planned gatherings. \u00a0A menu really says a lot about an event! \u00a0Since my bridal shower was a brunch, planning the menu was really fun. \u00a0I love brunch! \u00a0Who doesn’t, though? \u00a0Here’s what we had: \u00a0Fruit tarts, mini pancake skewers, petit fours, fresh fruit, bacon & egg cups with toast, and frosted cake doughnuts. \u00a0We made a doughnut tower which was one of my favorite parts of the brunch. \u00a0The cake doughnuts were purchased from a local bakery, which we frosted ourselves with pink frosting and added pink sprinkles. \u00a0They were delicious.<\/p>\n

The Tiffany blue gift boxes shown below have macarons in them. \u00a0They were another of the party favors for guests to take with them. \u00a0The flavors we purchased for the event were salted caramel and rose.<\/p>\n

Beverage Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of my favorite parts of the brunch was the mimosa bar! \u00a0It turned out even better than I had imagined. \u00a0We had lots of champagne, orange juice, tropical V8 Splash, and peach juice for bellinis. \u00a0We also had various berries for garnish. \u00a0Aside from the mimosa options we had sparkling pink lemonade, bottled water and coffee.<\/p>\n

Fun Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay… maybe “fun details” isn’t the best title to this section, because I think\u00a0all\u00a0<\/em>details are fun. \u00a0But, it will do :)<\/p>\n

We played four games throughout the shower. \u00a0The first was the game where nobody can say the groom’s name, wedding or marry (in any form.) \u00a0Each guest was given a pink ribbon to wear upon arrival, which could be stolen from them if they were caught saying one of the words mentioned above. \u00a0Whoever had the most ribbons at the end, won a prize. \u00a0The next game was the purse game, where one of my bridesmaids compiled a list of items she read off, seeing who had the most items in their purse. \u00a0This one is a favorite of mine!<\/p>\n

We also played the classic “How well do you know the bride and groom” game. \u00a0Lastly, we played the game where you break into teams and create a wedding gown out of toilet paper. \u00a0The bride-to-be gets to decide the winner, which was my favorite part :)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2018<\/a>\"IMG_2101<\/a>\"Gift<\/a>\"IMG_2007<\/a>{The gift table}<\/p>\n

Another detail worth mentioning is the bouquet my bridesmaids put together out of the bows, ribbons, wrapping paper and tissue paper from the gifts. \u00a0This was a tradition I’m thankful I had my girls for, because I would not have known about it if it weren’t for them! \u00a0The bouquet is then used by the bride at the rehearsal dinner. \u00a0(So fun!) \u00a0Here’s a picture of mine:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2085<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple other favorite details were ones that I wore. \u00a0My mom bought me a “bride to be” tiara as well as a big bling ring pin. \u00a0My maid of honor surprised me with a really adorable sash at the end, which I would wear to my bachelorette party. \u00a0Here is a picture of me with my MOH:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2128<\/a>Here<\/a> is a link to my old post. \u00a0The pictures are much smaller, but I did go into a little bit more detail about the event if you would like more information. \u00a0I hope this can provide inspiration to anyone looking to have a bridal shower brunch!<\/p>\n

P.S. \u00a0A lot\u00a0<\/i>of my inspiration came from Eat Drink Pretty! \u00a0Oh my gosh, the bridal shower Jenna hosted for her sister was stunning! \u00a0<\/i>If you haven’t seen it yet, you have to check it out! \u00a0Here’s <\/a>the link!<\/p>\n

Happy Sunday all!<\/p>\n
