Garden / Tea Party Bridal Shower

Tonight was Ashley's bridal shower.  I decided to do a garden/tea party.  It was in my parents back yard and turned out beautifully.  I couldn't have asked for anything better.  The weather was perfect - not too hot or windy.  Lots of people came and even wore sun hats.  It was an all around good time.  I forgot to take pictures throughout, but here are the pictures of the decorations!
The Invitation

Place settings.  I did black table cloths lined with lace, paper doilies,  cream plates, silverware wrapped in a napkin with a flower napkin ring (I should have taken a closer picture), candles wrapped in lace and in mason jars in lace, pearl garland, and boxes with chocolate dipped marshmallows with paper flowers



the tables

I did a lemonade stand instead of tea. There was grapefruit lemonade, regular lemonade, strawberry lemonade, peach lemonade, and water

food - mini sandwiches, salads, and fruit

It was such a fun night.  I am glad it went well.  I am also SOOO very grateful for all of the help I got. I couldn't have done it without all the help.  Mostly from my mom, Slate, Juston, Vickie, Sheri, Tami, and Cara.  And the millions of others that helped me.  I know there are more.  So thank you to everyone!!
