Well, it’s finally the end of two very busy weeks. The stress joy of the wedding is over, all of our out of town guests have gone home, and now Steve and I can just look forward to our honeymoon on Tuesday. We thoroughly enjoyed having all our family and friends come all the way to Tennessee for our wedding, and especially having my parents stay with us for an extra 5 days, but it is kinda nice having our house to ourselves again, and letting everything fall back to it’s normal pace.
So I’m going to start this series of wedding blog posts with my lingerie party. My wonderful best friend and matron of honor, Elizabeth, planned two amazing showers for me (lingerie and bridal) with wonderful food, friends & family, decorations, and (of course) dessert!
Here is the beautiful table setting I saw as I walked in the door to my lingerie party.
Look at these awesome cookies!!!! Some are bras with necklaces and others are undies!!! (Again, sorry guys.)
She also had some beautiful mini cupcakes with pink roses on top.
Yummy chocolate covered strawberries….I had a few of these. Well, actually I had a few of everything.
And these awesome “bra” cupcakes. I didn’t see it at first, but if you look at 2 cupcakes together they look like a bra! You’ll see it better in a later photo.
Our friend Jen made this incredible chicken fettuccine bow-tie pasta with sun-dried tomatoes. I die! I had 3 helpings of this, I think.
And who can forget the delicious sherbet punch!!! Mmmmm. My mouth is watering right now for this stuff!
Alright, Elizabeth, you convinced me. I’ll have a mimosa too. 🙂
After eating (and drinking) all those delicious treats, we played bridal themed Pictionary. (That looks weird….is that spelled correctly?)
Jenni was the best one at Pictionary because she is a teacher and is used to writing or drawing on large marker boards.
We had a fun time guessing all the drawings. And when we ran out of the papers that tell you what to draw, we started making up our own things.
Then it was time for presents!! (Guys may want to stop reading at this point.)
New lingerie is always super fun! Actually, new anything is always super fun. Unless it’s a new mosquito bite, or a new speeding ticket, or a new drool spot on your wall (I get that last one a lot).
And I got some CUTE stuff!
Elizabeth gave me some very risque lingerie…..so be glad that this picture is small enough to where you can’t really see the pictures on the front of those boxes. Awkward!
Here’s a better view of those “bra” cupcakes. What a cute idea! Thank you, Elizabeth, for such a wonderful lingerie party! Steve I really appreciates it!
Congratulations!! Aren’t lingerie parties so fun?! I love the cute bra and undies cookies – very creative! Can’t wait to see the rest of your wedding posts. 🙂
It was super fun! And those cookies were delicious as well as cute!
Looks like fun! All those treats looks so delicious!
They were!!
Joanna, I had no idea your wedding has already come and gone. Congratulations!!! No wonder you’ve been away from the blog…must have your priorities straight 😉 The food from your lingerie shower looks SO good, and I just love mimosas. Love. Them. Lingerie showers are always fun (and usually funny!) and yours looks like no exception. What sweet friends you have! Congratulations again, ENJOY your honeymoon next week, and I’m excited to hear more about the big day!
Hey Julie! Yes, I’ve been very neglecting toward my blog lately. I’ve just been so busy with wedding stuff that my blog has unfortunately taken a back seat. But I’m trying to catch up! Hopefully I’ll be able to post almost every day until we leave for our honeymoon on Tuesday, and then there will be another 2 week hiatus, but after that, I’ll be back full force!
Very cute, honey!! Food looks yummy and so creative!! Elizabeth did it again!! 🙂
Thanks, Mom! She did a wonderful job!
Too cute! Those cupcakes and cookies are the most fun, creative things I’ve ever seen for a lingerie shower! Congrats. 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed everything!! Lots of work but worth it all!! Love ya JO!! Love, Elizabeth
Hey! I am throwing a bachelorette party and shower and am looking for some yummy light food and stumbled upon your blog. Do you have the recipe for that chicken dish? Let me know! Thanks!!!
Lisa
Hi Lisa, I’m sorry I don’t have the recipe. One of my friends brought the dish.
