...And They Lived Happily Ever After.

That's always the wish for any young couple just starting out isn't it?  Years of "Happily Ever After". 

So, with that thought in mind, that was the theme of our bridal shower for my niece,Tay.  Here I placed a shabby, white urn on a vintage, silver, tray.  I scattered lots of those little plastic shoes across the tray to represent the coveted "Glass Slipper".   You can find these at most Dollar Tree stores.  They make a fun party favor.

So wonderful when the Handsome Prince shows up with that glass slipper right?   The Fairy Godmother wand rests atop the edge of the tray, ready for Magical Use.

And what should fill the top of the urn?   Why silver, glittered pumpkins, of course.  They are merely waiting for a tap of the FGM wand, to be turned into Magical Couches.  One small mouse anxiously wishes to be a Handsome Footman or Driver.  LOL.  (The cat was kind enough to loan a new mouse for this little project.  Thanks Pea.)

We have our very modest candy bar set with favor bags, ready for the taking (And check out that awesome Mac & Cheese in the background!).  Since the color theme of the wedding is black/white and turquoise blue, I tried to get those colors for the candy bar.  Course, Kisses were perfect...cause what Fairy Tale romance does not have the perfect "kiss"?  LOL.  And the Ring Pops were a huge hit.  Blue tongues for everyone. 

Thanks Karebear (one of my other nieces) for demonstrating!  LOL!  You are looking mighty cute and sassy there! 

Our little chalkboard declares the theme!

And here's our whole thing put together.  You can see our luscious cupcakes in the background.  Two Sister's Lunchbox Cafe (sorry, can't seem to link to) made them and they were awesome!  Moist and delicious, with melt in your mouth icing.  I'm so happy that there were a few left over.  And my other sweet niece (Jenn) and SIL (Sheri) in the background as well!

But our Bride was a great sport. Enduring wedding shower games, endless harassment and even wearing this cheesy little crown and veil through the whole thing. She is a lovely girl and we wish her and hubby to be the best!  A Fairy Tale Romance and Happily Ever After!

 

My pretty girl Jenn and the lovely bride, Tay!

Huge thanks and hugs to Sheri (awesome Mac & Cheese!  Thanks for the left-overs!), Kari and Jenn for all your help.  Thanks Babes!  Could NOT have done it with out girls!  Lotsa Love to you guys!

Happy Tuesday!

Looks like a great party.

Valita & Shannon were talking about Paper Cowgirls most of the weekend. I most definitely have to be apart of it next year. :)

I love all the photos of the store. I'm thinking I have got to make the time to go visit you. Hopefully it will be sometime soon. xoxo, Joanna

Wow Cindy! Your shower should be in a magazine! Really! Like Home Companion--it's so creative. Lucky bride!

I'll stop gushing now. But I seriously love it.

What wonderful ideas! My son is getting married January 1, and that makes me in charge of the rehearsal dinner on NEW YEAR'S EVE. I'm close to panic mode trying to figure out how to do the decor for that night. You make it look easy.
