Tag showers

Bri­dal sho­wers are so much fun — Sarah of I Do. Wed­dings was thro­wing one for her sis­ter Libby and I was so exci­ted to have her con­tact me and ask me to pho­to­graph this stun­ning event! The room at The Brooks­tone Event Cen­ter was set up gor­geously. Sarah had thought of every detail and the staff at the cen­ter exe­cu­ted it wonderfully!

I loved the greens and browns — everything was so ‘earthy’ and beautiful.

The guests were each gree­ted with this pro­gram of events and a run down of the acti­vi­ties. By far the most fun was the “What’s in the purse” game. It was a riot to see ever­yone going through their bags and run­ning out to their cars to see who could get the most points.

These two were trying to plan their attack on how to get the most points.

Lips­tick, Calculator…

In the end it was the eye­lash cur­ler that took the game.

Sis­ters: Sarah, hos­tess, MOH and Libby, guest of honor, bride!

Then it was time to open gifts! Its quite the bar set she’s acquiring!

Libby has a great smile and fan­tas­tic laugh.

And the abi­lity to fit her entire body in a gift bag!

I wish I could remem­ber what she was pre­ten­ding to roll out here… my bad for wai­ting so long to blog the event!!

Very stu­dious and dedi­ca­ted guest making a fabu­lous prac­tice bou­quet (I thought)

This was the BEST gift. In advance Sarah had asked all the guests to sub­mit their favo­rite recipe and a photo if they could. Sarah then had them all made into a hard­co­ver cook­book for Libby and gif­ted it to her at the sho­wer. This page was “take out”, which I thought was the best thing ever.

So remem­ber the ‘bou­quet’? Turns out it was actually a hat. Libby wore it well!

Then, the fun­niest thing yet I’ve seen at a sho­wer. This woman — I think its her aunt — was wri­ting down ran­dom quo­tes from Libby as she ope­ned her gifts and she made it into a sort of dirty mad­libs. I hope Libby saved it because it was (as evi­den­ced below) seriously one of the most amu­sing things. I was in tears I was laughing so hard.

In all it was a great event. Sarah was seriously meti­cu­lous in her plan­ning and every one had a fabu­lous time — the words of wis­dom jour­nal was filled with heart­felt bles­sings and advice and Sarah carried out the natu­ral earthy theme beautifully.

She even plan­ted one of these plants for ever guest as a favor. a-​mah-​zing!

Thank you so much Sarah & Libby for having me at your event! I loved all the thought you put into everything and lear­ned a lot of new ‘tricks’ for future bri­dal showers!
