My Orlando Bridal Tea

I was blessed with two of the most beautiful bridal showers I have ever seen. I am so excited to share the pictures with you all! Today, I will share my lovely Orlando shower thrown for me by my sister and my mom. It was a tea party held at an old Victorian mansion and it was a lot of fun! Thank you to Brian Hess Photography for the beautiful pictures :)

All us girls in our hats!

 Loved my bride to be banner!

 My beautiful friends!

 Gorgeous birdcage cake! I was in L O V E!

 My mom and I!

 Highland Manor (which actually closed two weeks after my shower)

 This bird knew I was incorporating birds into my wedding and decided to show up to say hi!

 Beautiful gift

Bridal Tea

So I got the cutest thing in the mail the other day! A sweet, vintage-inspired, scalloped invite to my bridal shower, which is being held in Orlando! My sister and my mom are planning a tea party, and if you look closely, the invite says "hats preferred but not required". I am so looking forward to seeing and spending time with my family and friends in a couple of weeks! Time to go shopping for a dress and a hat!

Showered With Love, and Tea, and Cupcakes!

Today, I want to talk about showers! Beautiful, beautiful showers. You know, the party where you get to spend time with all of the women you love and get to do girly things, like eat cupcakes and drink tea! How fun! Now, I know that the bride does not typically get to plan the decor of her own bridal shower but that's not the point of this post. The point is to share this incredible bridal tea party shoot with you and to hear about what your dream shower would look like!

I am in love with all of the details shown in the pictures below. Totally my style and and I'm just in awe of this design by Adrianne Smith and Erika Firm! The oversized pomanders, vintage tea cups, and romantic roses are just stunning and the whole chic Parisian theme was executed perfectly! I think it's safe to say that this is my dream.

I'd love to hear about your shower (or your dream shower) and how it reflected you and your personality. What was the most creative detail? Did you play games (check out the quiz in the picture above)? Did it have a theme? Please share!
