Sister’s Shower

As is customary for brides-to-be, a shower was held for my little sister this weekend, one that was hosted by her roommates.  Now I won’t embarass her like I did with her previous shower (other than to throw in one or two pictures of her at the end) but I wanted to show the amazing job that the hostesses did in arranging the party.  Being a fan of such blogs as Decor8blog and Hostess with the Mostess, I can appreciate a good decorating situation.  And this was definitely to my liking.  First, check out the total spread:

Beautiful, isn’t it?  Now for a closer look…

The colors are autumnal and vibrant and each item complements the others from the white serving stands and green platters to the white napkins tied with orange ribbon and even the orange and white flowers.

No detail was overlooked.  The fruit was neatly skewered and the petit fours were topped with the letter “T,” the first letter of the bride’s name.

Keeping with the autumnal theme, each item was labeled with a card propped up by a miniature hay-stack.  And there was a little something for everyone. 

Mini vegetable quiches…

Warm coffee cake…

Fruit (for the more health-minded guest)

And the oh-so-yummy carameled mini-apples.

Aren’t they gorgeous?

Even the water looked great.

It was hard tearing myself away from taking pictures of this beautiful set-up. But I did.  I wanted to take pictures of my sister holding up see-through lingerie so that I could embarrass her later (I told you I would post a photo or two).  I mean it was a bridal shower, right?

But don’t worry, it didn’t get to crazy.  There was a baby present afterall.  (Check out the look on his cute little face – he’s wondering what in the world that is!)  Actually, I think my sister was wondering the same thing. 

Good thing I was there to explain it to her.

Thanks for the explanation sis. What would I do without you? And those pictures are great. It was such a fun day.

This is gorgeous! I love to throw parties and showers, and I tend to go very fancy and overboard too. No fruit platter, cake, and streamers for me. You seem like my kind of gal.

Hey Kristina – thanks!! I wish I could take credit for it. I’m uh, “developing” my presentation skills. It’s a work in progress. :)

The pictures you took of the food at the shower are gorgeous. I love how you focus on a particular item(s) in the photo and the rest is blurred. What kind of camera/lenses are you using (if you don’t mind my asking)?

Hi keylin – dono’t mind at all and thanks for your nice comment. I’m still in the learning process when it comes to photography, but right now I use the D80 (Nikon) and a few different lenses. The upclose shots were taken with a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens. Very inexpensive at Amazon if you’re interested. Most of the others were taken with an 18-200mm zoom lens. Hope that helps!
