Cupcakes and Cashmere

Showered with Love

March 26th, 2012

{Over-the-top dessert table + E & G letters}

I’ve been emotional about nearly every aspect of our upcoming wedding, though somehow I had convinced myself that my bridal shower would be an exception. But as soon as I walked into Rachel‘s place, there I was, tearing up…again. All of the details were exceedingly special – everything from the dessert table with homemade white chocolate chip cookies (which you can never find without macadamia nuts), brownies, a cake, a torte, and sundae bar to the handmade fringed pom poms and photo display. It was such a treat to spend an afternoon with my friends, but even more touching to know just how well they know me.


{Pom poms in pretty pinks and gold hung over the table}


{Six layer pink ombré vanilla and raspberry cake}


{Toasting with my mom}

{All-time favorite cookies: white chocolate chip}



{Beautiful welcome display + Cherub’s Cup cocktail}



{Watercolor name tags for each girl’s champagne flute}



{Pure decadence: bacon-wrapped figs}

{Gourmet grilled cheese paninis + gold painted toy cats for decoration}



{My mom’s chocolate meringue mushrooms}

    Wow what a great afternoon and lovely friends to fix. It is special getting married, I wish I could do it all over again (thankfully with the same husband:) now ten years later. Enjoy. And I am sure you don’t forget about small details, since you will be glad afterwards you did them, and guests (female guests that is:) notice and appreciate that.

    Wow, you are the second bridal shower I have seen on my blog read that was so elegant and something you would find in a magazine. Sort of makes me a little jealous. I always have to have a say in my showers because I don’t have such proactive party throwing friends/family. YOu are very lucky.

    It’s true! you can never find white chocolate chip cookies without macademia nuts, they’re one of my favourites also!. Everything looks amazing
