Showered

After a decade of hosting showers it's a totally surreal experience to have a shower thrown in your honor. It's really special. Something tells me it's a tiny preview of what the wedding will be like: Most of your favorite people all in one room coming to celebrate you. Wow. Humbling, exciting, overwhelming, etc., etc. I have had two showers so far and have another one this weekend. I can't wait. Here are a few photos from the first two showers, just for posterity sake. I wish I had the hours to do individual posts for these special showers, but let's be honest. I am in wedding overdrive mode. 38 days to go. Pure madness.

My first shower was thrown by sweet work (and former work) friends. It was a vintage desperate housewife theme. I loved it. I was too nervous/excited to get a single picture, but here are some from one of the hosts. Speaking of the hosts, they all wore pearls and aprons. Perfect.

The second shower was hosted by my aunts and it was lovely. The brunch was held at an antique tea room and my colors (peach, gray and ivory) were splashed everywhere. Beautiful. I did manage to take a few pictures of the special morning the second time around.
