Laura - Bridal Shower

Laura has been one of my best friends since the 4th grade - Mrs. McKay's class. We were two of the few kids in class who got along with this particular teacher and somehow that bonded us. We both played the flute starting this year in Mr. Catrell's music class and that became a common factor in our lives for several years. I am so excited that she has met the man of her dreams and I can't wait to attend her wedding in two weeks! Here are some of the favorites from her shower, which my mom helped host.

The back porch (which I LOVE!) where we spent most of the day:

This is Mrs. Campion. She taught at Dublin High School (sex ed, HA!) and is great friends with Laura's mom. The shower was held at her house, as she was one of the hosts as well.
My mom made these favors for the shower, aren't they awesome? Seasoned almonds. We came home with lots and I imagine they won't last long.
The one laughing with the gift is Laura's future mother-in-law. She is SUPER nice and I really loved spending time with her, she is sweet and really easy to talk to. This picture occured during a game where Laura started with a gift, then Mrs. Campion said a poem that instructed us who the present should be passed to. It was in Laura's mom's hands for a few rounds then at the last second got passed to Laura's MIL. I love both mom's faces!
If you have never eaten at Nothing Bundt Cakes, you are missing out! They ordered the lemon cake (DELISH! must have it again!) and the Red Velvet cake (I didn't have it, but I hear it was delicious as well!).
Laura was super sweet about bought all three hosts beautiful pitchers with lemonade mix. I almost stole my mom's...
The group as Laura was about to open her gifts! The game here was to fill out a blank BINGO card with what you thought she would get in her gifts. I got the first BINGO!! Go me!
Laura and her Maid of Honor, Sandy. Sandy actually caught the bouquet at my wedding! She's really really nice, I wish I got to hang out with her more often.
These were the gifts that I got to chose from for my BINGO win!
Laura's future grandmother-in-law (is that a thing?) came to the shower, she was really sweet and I wanted to make sure to get a picture of them together.
Towards the end of the day Sandy was making Laura's bouquet with all the ribbons from her gifts (which i forgot about and didn't put a huge yellow ribbon on her gift - sorry Laura!). Laura held the bouquet while Sandy tied the bottom. It turned out great!
One of the ladies said that one of her favorite things was having pictures of the mother and bride from the shower, so the ladies agreed. This one was my favorite!
I have another photoshoot with some high schoolers this evening so I should have more pictures by tomorrow! I also have another shoot tomorrow. Lots of practice this weekend!
