Last week my friend Autumn and I had the honor of throwing Bethany a bridal shower.
In the beginning stages of planning we knew we wanted the shower to have a slight theme and came across (I'll let you guess where) the idea of a 'Happy Hour Shower'.
I mean, who doesn't love Happy Hour (especially on a Thursday!) and being able to give gifts to a beautiful bride??
For the decor we decided to go with bright, Spring colors- pinks, oranges and yellows.
We used fresh flowers, bright pink vases and bright tissue paper balls throughout.
As far as the food, because it was after work, we wanted to keep things fairly simple but yummy. We decided on 'bar' type food but taken up a notch.
Our menu included:
Homemade guacolmole
Salsa
Sausage and cheese wontons
Ham and swiss warm sandwiches
Fancy cheese and crackers
Chocolate chip cheese ball with chocolate teddy grahams
Assorted goodies from Trader Joe's
And, of course, wine. Lots and lots of wine.

And what's a good party without a favor?
Thanks to Pinterest, we found these cute ideas (here and here) for a Spring cookie inside a glass wrapped up.
Autumn found these adorable pink margarita glasses which we filled with Spring cookies, wrapped in clear treat bags with ribbon.
Super simple, cute and delicious- now that's my kind of favor.
Now on to the pretty details!

The shower was so fun and we were honored to be able to 'shower' our great friend and send her off into married bliss!
And for one more pretty, how fabulously simple yet beautiful are these earrings from Love Shine Bridal.
These earrings are so versatile you can even wear them when you're hanging out with your basset hound.

Lovely bridal shower and flowers are complementing it beautifully. My neighbor has arranged his daughter’s wedding at one of the grand Los Angeles wedding venues next month. Excited to see her designer gown and jewelry.
