We had a wedding shower for Brad and Michelle yesterday at Mollie's and it was perfect! We couldn't decide on a design for the cake so I made it match the pretty napkins! The cake was pistachio flavor and the inside color almost matched the ribbon!
HAHAHAHA! Alex has no idea I even took this picture so he is going to LOVE that I posted it. Mollie and I had watched a few too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy yesterday morning so by the time Alex stopped by...it was cleaning time. Mollie asked him to grab the pledge out of the closet but little did he know that was only the beginning. Mollie gave him a list of tasks including pledging, windexing, taking out the trash and all the sweeping : ) He's too good! (and didn't complain at all!)
Pretty balloons (at the perfect height!)
Balloons at the front door.
This banner was carefully and creatively made by Abby and Anne! : )
Pretty flowers on the kitchen table.
Abby with the cake--since I didn't want to be in the picture with it! Great job on the ribbon, Anne!
We loved the engagement ring balloon!
The table of goodies... especially the chocolate covered strawberries (right, Mols?!)
The other side of the table. The stand with the cheese and crackers has a little picture of Brad and Michelle at the back... it was too cute!
SOOO pretty!
My bride : )
Beth and Gran made Morgan's and she had rosettes at the top (made me think of Whitney, Morgan and Bekah and our fun project runway parties... make it work!)
The winners! Mom was the bride... too funny!
Michelle and her pretty BOWquet that Mollie put together! (No bows were broken in the making of this masterpiece!)
Gran, Peewee and Captain Jack!!!! : ) This is probably my favorite picture of the day!
Until...
Let the fun begin...
SURPRISE! Mollie and I decorated Alex's office at church since his birthday was on Wednesday and that's where he was all night : )
We like to call Alex an "extremist" so I had to at least try to do something out of the ordinary. I think we accomplished that!
It was sooo fun to decorate (especially with Christmas music playing in the background)!
Woooo!!!
Balloons!!! The BIRTHDAY BOY one wins as the favorite!
View of the middle of the room from the floor!
More balloons...
Of course we had to take the baby with us to leave little reminders (cat hairs) of her presence.
"I'm at work!"
Rora was all over his office! It was a struggle to not send him a pic of her last night to have him guess where she was : )
See, all over the place...
Now to the most important part of a birthday... THE CAKE! It was strawberry with cream cheese frosting because that's Alex's favorite!
His favorite things... a keyboard for everything music, WKU and Ole Miss!
And now--everything he hates... UK! Go CATS! I couldn't resist : )
Congrats Brad and Michelle!!! The original cake idea was sushi but Brad changed his mind a couple weeks ago to "Day of the Dead!"
I absolutely LOVED the wedding cake... it was sooo pretty and tasted just as good. It was dark chocolate champagne and tiramisu!!!!
The skulls "preview" that I sent Mollie since she was already in Lexington for the wedding when I made the cake.
Once the cake had been cut and served, the caterer put the day of the dead topper in the center of the macaron tray.
Congrats Kendra and Mark!!! The perfect groom's cake : )
