Bridal Shower

This past Sunday I was honored with the opportunity to host one of my best friends bridal showers.

We decided that we wanted to have it during brunch hours so we could have a bagel and mimosa bar.

I have this amazing place, The Napa Deli, by my work that makes the most incredible veggie bagel (check them out)! So, I sort of stole some ideas from what they use to make theirs and our very own bagel bar was created!

The mimosa bar was easy! Champagne, juice and of course, fruit! I bought a bunch of champagne flutes from Ikea and spray painted the bottoms with chalk paint. The idea was to have everyone write their name and keep the glass as a shower favor. (I ended having a ton left over, should have made it more clear I guess LOL)

Now for the decor! My mom found me some beautiful olive branches that I used as runners and placed blush roses within it. So simple and elegant. I had the balloon hoop made by a local company, Debs’ Balloons. I also bought some flower arrangements from Costco and placed them around the house for an extra pop of color.

Enjoy some pictures…

Weekend Get Away

Last weekend a few girlfriends and I headed up to Fort Bragg for a bachelorette party. I hadn’t been to the area since a family vacation when I was younger. Not knowing what to expect, I was excited to be by the ocean. “the sea will set you free”

Of course the first thing I do when we wake up Saturday morning for our hike, is grab my camera. Only to find that its completely out of juice and my charger was no where to be found. Thankfully iPhone camera’s have come a long way and I still managed to get some pretty great shots.

We drove a few miles down the highway to MacKerricher State Park for a hike, or so we thought. We ended up following a short (but beautiful) muddy trail only to find ourselves right back on a paved road. The whole weekend had a “go with the flow” vibe so we did just that and kept walking. The path was full of beautiful sites that my inner ‘wanna-be photographer’ could not get enough of.

We ended up on a pebble beach writing our names in the “sand”, attempting cart-wheels and playing tag with the tide. Something about being on a beach brings out the child in me.
