March Showers bring...

May weddings! In honor of my sister's upcoming wedding, I hosted her bridal shower on March 26th in Winchester. I was very grateful to have the month of January off from work (in between jobs) because it gave me lots of time to focus on the preparations. We ended up renting out The Francis Barton Event Center and despite the owner giving me agida by not being quite as responsive as I would have liked ;), everything turned out wonderfully! We were able to keep many of the details a secret from Laura and she thankfully approved of everything! :)

A few pictures:

The candy centerpieces were also used in a Wedding Candy Game



The gifts (Vera Bradley wristlets) for the winners of the Purse Game



Laura's candle basket...She had a candle wishing well

The favors...personalized Yankee candle votives

Now we have the countdown 'til the big day...which since I'm extremely delayed in this post, is less than two weeks away!!!!
