Amy's Bridal Shower

My friend Amy is tying the knot in June and over Easter weekend I attended her bridal shower to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. The yellow theme was so bright and cheerful I forgot about the April showers outside.


With the bride and her sister-in-law, Erica. We all went to high school together.


Guests were able to provide words of wisdom for Amy on a vintage typewriter.


The food was delicious and as usual I'm going to focus on dessert. My first sweet and salty cupcake - vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, caramel and Fleur de Seul topped with custom made fondant engagement rings with sugar diamonds. There were two cupcake stands and they tasted as good as they look.


Candy jars and striped baggies lined a table for a sweet treat to go. The floral arrangements were all yellow, no fillers.


This present wins the gift wrapping award, it was HUGE (photo by Amy's sister)! Guests took turns quizzing the bride while she unwrapped gifts with questions that Erica had asked Amy's fiancé prior to the shower. Always a fun game, especially when the groom just happens to pop in during questioning.

Shower well done! Definitely took some notes for future party planning.
