vintage themed bridal shower

On Saturday my friends and I threw a bridal shower for our friend Cassidy. I wanted to take charge in planning the shower, and had a blast doing so. I spent weeks trying to gather ideas, and I am so happy with the way it all turned out. For dinner we had yummy BBQ chicken salad, with rolls and lemonade. Topped my mom’s famous cupcakes for dessert. The favors were little buttons made out of white chocolate packaged in a cellophane bag sealed with a vintage label. The decor included fresh picked flowers in vintage pots and glass containers, vintage looking items such as a clock, tea cups, a birdcage, and tables sprinkled with buttons. And also chandelier of old jars with candles lit inside. I have to give a big thanks to all the girls who helped out, and especially my family who put in a lot of effort as well. It was such a perfect night.

birthday shoot

So on my birthday, my mom was out of town. When she got home she woke me up one morning and told me to put on something cute. We spent the afternoon visiting cute cupcake shops, around Utah Valley, tasting their yummy treats.

After, she took me on a photoshoot. She bought me 3 huge yellow balloons, my favorite color, and she snapped some pictures of me. It was funny being on the other side of the camera, I definitely like being on the back side, taking the pictures. But thanks mom, I really had so much fun, and I was surprised with the turnout! Nice work! I guess I do get my creative eye from you!
