Wedding Wednesday: A Brilliant Bridal Shower for the 'Girl Scout' in All of Us . . .

A few days ago my sweet little neighbor knocked on our door and asked if my son Sully would like some girl scout cookies!  Now this is one unexpected visitor that I am thrilled to receive and perhaps the only door-to-door sale out there that I welcome with total glee!

And it just so happens that I came across  the most adorable 'Girl Scout' Bridal Shower from Beau and Arrow Events via  Green Wedding Shoes, to celebrate the marvelous occasion . . .

Love this stunning invitation suite by the girls over at Posh Paperie . . .

And the green & gold palette is perfect, don't you think?

What could be better than a gorgeous & green sash for the bride?

A Girl Scout is always ready for any emergency . . . and these little 'wedding day' kits make the ideal favor!

I am seriously swooning for that gold tablecloth from Wildflower Linens.  Seriously.

Fabulous Vendors:

event design + coordination: Beau & Arrow Events // photography: Katie Neal Photo // venue: Olivenhain Meeting House // florals: Blush Botanicals // paper goods: Posh Paperie // cake + cupcakes: Hey! There Cupcake // hair & make up: 10.11 Make up // rentals: Moss Vintage Rentals // cookies: VG Donuts & Bakery // lollipops: Custom Candy Creations // chiavari chairs: Allie’s Party Rentals // linens: Wildflower Linens


So much fun and so unique too!  I love when an unexpected theme turns up being glamorous and delightful, don't you?  And wouldn't those Samoa Cupcakes we featured awhile back just be the perfect little dessert to serve?  Yum!!!  Now how to pass the time until my cookies arrive, hmmmmm . . .

Glimmer & Glitz: A Glittering New Trend for the Glamour Girl . . .

If you are anything like me, you have walked by the glitter paper at your local craft store a thousand times, snubbing your nose at how tacky and terrible it is.  But then I spotted all of these fabulous banners & party goods and the very glitter that made me gag now makes me gasp in delight.  Done right, this stuff just exudes old Hollywood glamour and pure vintage charm.  Take a look . . .

Beautiful Banners . . .

Fabulous Fonts . . .

And party decorations that really add some shine . . .

Even as a placemat . . .

Or a place for your party favors  . . .

A Sparkly Circle Garland . . .

Or cards & invitations . . .

This stuff is downright glitter gorgeous, no?  I stand corrected!  In fact, don't be surprised if my entire house is a-shine with old Hollywood glam Christmas decorations this year.  But who's thinking that far ahead?
