Here Comes the Bride! - Melissa's Bridal Shower

This past weekend kicked off the start of one of my best friend's wedding festivities!  Melissa is getting married this July, and the rest of her bridesmaids and I spent the last three months planning a special day for her.

Everything turned out beautiful, and it was amazing to see her so, so happy!  You know I was snapping away with my camera; here's a look at all the little details that went into Melissa's shower.

Of course one of my favorite parts of the shower was the gorgeous dessert table!  A bunch of the girls each contributed some desserts which came together so nicely.  We had mini cupcakes, strawberry macarons, pudding filled chocolate shells, chocolate dipped Oreo's, rice krispie pops, chocolate bars, and a beautiful cake!

We went for a pink and gold theme and the room turned out bright and beautiful!  The mother of the bride, Jane, put together a bunch of details, including the "M & J" letters filled with pictures of the bride and groom from throughout the years.

The appetizers were colorful and delicious; the MOTB came up with the veggie cup idea.  These looked easy to put together and definitely more convenient for guests.  We also had buffalo chicken dip, cucumber pita bites, a cheese tray, lots of salads, and a full barbecue buffet the groom's family made!  I think everyone was well fed at this shower.

The signature drink of the day was sangria inspired by the bride-to-be!  We had both white and red; Melissa definitely enjoyed it ;)
