Laurel’s future husband is British so her bridal shower had an English tea theme and we all wore fun hats!
(Yes, I am hidden in the back. Big group pictures overwhelm me and since I’m tall, I always drop to the back and just hope my forehead makes an appearance.)
Laurel’s mom and sisters hosted the shower and everyone arrived around lunchtime bearing gifts and ready to talk wedding talk!
Within about 20 minutes, all of the women gathered around the beautiful table and dug into a delicious lunch of mini sandwiches and homemade lemonade.
The lemonade was made with lemons from Laurel’s grandmother’s lemon tree and tasted fantastic! The sandwiches were also great and I had ham salad, chicken salad, roast beef and smoked salmon mini sandwiches.
Dessert was a highlight for me and I dug into a homemade scone with strawberry butter, fruit kebabs and a chocolate truffle.
Laurel’s brother is a professional chef and made the truffles from scratch. They were so delicious that I kept going back for more! The texture was creamy, the flavor was rich and they tasted incredibly decadent. Kyle needs to become a candy man!
After dessert and tea, we meandered into the living room and Laurel opened her gifts.
Laurel already knew what I got for her ahead of time because I cannot keep my mouth shut. A few weeks ago I asked her what she wanted off her registry and when she said she really wanted a food processor, I couldn’t help but blurt out that I already bought it for her. Oops!
During the bridal shower we played Bridal Bingo and did a purse scavenger hunt, neither of which I won, but I did win the random drawing and am now the proud owner of a wonderful smelling candle!
The best part of Laurel’s bridal shower was obviously spending time with the bride-to-be and talking about her upcoming wedding. She is getting married on Saturday and is feeling ready and excited.
I cannot wait to be a part of her special day!
Congratulations to Laurel and John!

What a cute theme for the bridal shower! Everyone looks lovely!
Love the theme! We played bridal shower bingo at my bridal shower. It was a great way to keep everyone involved in the present-opening!
Wait, hold the door!
You’re tall? How tall?
Because I always thought you to be small and petite, like say 5’4”?
Obs without heals 🙂
I love your shoes!!
