A Bridal Shower for the Future Mrs. Wilson

Joanna will be getting married about three weeks after Joylin so we threw a bridal shower for her last week!  We went with more of a garden, springy theme to make it different than Joylin's shower.  The menu was a salad bar with a lot of toppings, pickle pinwheels, and sweet pickles, with cupcakes, heart rice krispy treats and dipped pretzel rods for dessert!  My sister, Hope, flew in to help and Juliana came to lend a hand the day before.

Juliana made the favors.  
Individual jars of vanilla lavender salt and sugar scrubs.

(I don't have a picture of the guests enjoying the afternoon but it was around the same amount of ladies that were at Joylin's shower...)

This is the backdrop I put together for Joanna.  The "W" initial stands for "Wilson", which will be Joanna's married name.  I had a few fake flowers around so I put together the floral arrangement for above the W.

The salad bar...

Aunt Sharon and her girls made these perfect desserts!

Juliana and Hope helped me make cupcakes.  We used the desserts and favors as table decor...

I had a "Find the Guest" game for the ladies to do while we waited for everyone to arrive.  
We also played the game, "He said, She said" after everyone ate.

She got lots of nice household items from the ladies!

Joanna and her mom and sisters :)

Congratulations, Joanna!  We sure are going to miss you around here!
The happy couple :)

I got behind in checking for blog posts. Yippee-there are 2 new posts. Joanna’s shower was beautiful. You did such a nice job personalizing each of the sister’s showers. The flowers, salad bar and dessert/favors as table decorations were so effective. Thank goodness you get a break before Jubilee’s bridal shower! :) Lovely picture of Joanna, her mom and most of her sisters. Grandmommy
