Tag: pink bridal shower

Last week, we pulled off a big first for us Southern Weddings ladies! We actually got one past the incredible Ms. Emily Ayer, and SURPRISED her with a mini-inspired bridal shower! That’s right, with the help of some really fabulous friends, we tricked our own little bride-to-be into thinking we were headed to high tea at The Carolina Inn. Then the doozy came – we were actually throwing HER a shower!

When we arrived, Lara presented Emily with the unbelievably adorable mini-invitation to her shower (awesome job, Amber!). As you can see below, she was a bit surprised!

Our friend Heidi, the Director of Catering at The Carolina Inn, joined forces with the fab Erin McLean to dream up this sweetly Southern and completely “Emily” shower! We told them our girl likes pink, cupcakes and mini things and then we sent them a link to Em’s blog. Heidi and Erin ran with it, and created awesomeness! Boy, have we got talented friends!

I also have to brag a bit on Nicole – not only did Nicole help plan this gorgeous event, but she sat next to Emily everyday for about two months without spilling the beans!

Isn’t this girl cute? Yes, we are lucky enough to work with her every day!

Big thanks to all our friends who came far and wide to celebrate our sweet bride-to-be! And big SW hugs to Cyn Kain for capturing all the divine details of the day!

Congratulations to you, Miss Em! We are beyond thrilled for you, know you will be a stunning bride. We wish you all the love in the world!

I’ve got a little piece of girly Southern perfection to share today, courtesy of photography duo The Schultzes! We’re going into the season of not only weddings, but bridal showers, and I’m betting this pretty-in-pink celebration will provide hours of inspiration for those of you who might be planning a soiree for your best girlfriend. I love how thoughtfully this shower was planned — the designer, Kristin Cone, chose an afternoon tea theme, since the shower was held the day of the Royal wedding and Katrina’s mother is British!

The most delectable looking part, though? The ham biscuits, of course! Ham biscuits are one thing I love about being an adopted Southerner.

In addition to all the other awesome girliness, how amazing are these teeny hats? Makes me think back to the days when every proper Southern lady wore little white gloves and a dress when out visiting her friends. (Am I the only one who wishes those days were today?!) The designer/planner for Katrina’s shower either handmade them or purchased them from Etsy!
