love birds

well it is safe to say that this summer is exploding of weddings for me!

i have two best friends getting married in august within 2 days of each other.

and i throwing them both bridal showers.

the first one for Carly was yesterday and i was really happy with how it came together.

the cute girls that came were adorable and made it fun- so thank you for all who came!

rachel, me, carly (the bride), alyssa, kylie

so for the theme i did "love birds" and here of some of the decorations i made.

everything was home-made and super easy, any one could do it.

for this i just cut some branches, spray painted them and cemented them in a bucket.

then i just photocopied the picture of the birds on the napkins i used to hang in the branches.

and ta dah!

for this display i bought some cute wrapping paper and framed it with a wooden frame i found and spray painted.

the matching vase i found at DI.

(i love this aqua color)

next i made a banner that said love birds.

i just used scrapbook paper and tulle

this is my partner in crime Alyssa.

i couldn't have done it without her.

she was kind enough to let us do it at her house and helped me plan it all.

for dinner we had home made cafe rio salads, Kylie has the best recipe for the sweet pork.

and the rest of our best friends brought the rest for it all to come together.

this was our dessert table.

Alyssa made the mini key lime pies (so so yummy!)

and i made the cupcakes -

vanilla bean with strawberry icing and chocolate with Bavarian cream

it seemed like everyone had a good time and thought the decorations/food was great.

we are so excited for Carly and just love her so much!

CONGRATS CARLY!
