Bridal Shower for a Princess

Not our little Princess...but a dear Princess: Corie Barnes is joining her life with Emery Patton in October (three days before my birthday) and I was so pleased to be able to throw her first Bridal Shower with my 'Partner in Crime'- Lynn Domenech! What fun I had with Lynn...so here are the hostesses with the glowing Bride-To-Be! (boy I'm looking a little TIRED)

The theme of the shower was Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend and we went with the Bride's colors. Lynn did a great job with the finishing touches on the tables. THANK YOU Bee Bee and Mom for loaning out your china and crystal...it wouldn't have been as "be-dazzeling" without your generosity!

Next we have two the proud Mothers. (Corie's mom Donna on the left and Emery's Mom Pam on the right)

Here was the presentation for the luncheon buffet. What a cute pig...see his BLING too! LOL

Corie did a fabulous job of making her way around the room to chat with everyone. The two empty chairs belong to Lynn and I..we were up refilling something in the kitchen I'm sure! Or getting a towel for a mimosa spill (it's not a good party until someone spills a drink -right??!)
After a super yummy lunch we gathered in the Family Room to shower Corie with everything she might need to get off on the right foot. She had so many wonderful women there to shower her with love and best wishes.
It was funny to hear her stories about how they selected this or that item for their registry...but of all the gifts received this cutting board was BY FAR the one that Emery insisted on researching. Hopefully it is, in fact, the BEST cutting board out there (as the sales agent told Emery)!
What a beautiful Bride-To-Be and her bow bouquet! Only 1 broken bow I think.

After gifts, we concluded with cheesecake bites (with more bling...a diamond ring inserted in the center). These were as good as they look! The Turtle Cheesecake were my personal favorite.


What a fun party to host and what a great co-hostess to work beside. I loved having a house full of wonderful women and being able to bless Corie and Emery as they prepare to spend a life-time together.
