My friend Kara and I were incredibly excited to host Ashley's bridal shower this weekend. Josh and Ashley are getting married on October 16th 2010. It was very difficult to plan everything since Kara 4 hours from her and I live in New Jersey. SOMEHOW (and with a lot of help from Ashley's mom) we pulled it off.
Since their wedding is in a rustic/romantic theme (venue is an old, renovated barn) we tried to incorporate similar themes for her kitchen and intimates shower. Centerpieces (and door prizes) were Mason jars wrapped in bits of coordinated fabric with fall flowers. We also arranged kitchen supplies on the tables for Ashley to take home.
With the invitations, we also sent recipe cards and asked that attendees write down their favorite or most reliable recipes for Ashley to keep. It was so nice to meet her friends and get to know the people we'd be spending the wedding weekend with.
Wedding day venue
Friends of Josh and Ashley have recently moved and are renovating the property and barns on their property. Although there are several things that need to be finished, you can already see the plans coming together for the big day.
Barn where the reception will be (doors have been ripped off and are being replaced)
Lawn where the ceremony will take place. Josh and Ashley will stand somewhere around the big tree on the right.
