"April Showers Bring May Flowers"

We just threw my sister-in-law her bridal shower last weekend.

The theme was "April Showers Bring May Flowers."

Everything came together even better than I had envisioned!

little tip: to achieve a super cute look for a super affordable price,

use scrap book paper for place mats....it gives you opportunity to add more color and pattern!

The centerpieces were my favorite! Little watering cans with bouquets

of cake pops which doubled as the favor, each adorned with leaf shaped tags.

Rachel struck gold with two designers in her bridal party.

The design work was a collaborative effort between myself and

my soon to be sister-in-law Lauren.

I made a Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade! It was delish!

I definitely recommend this recipe for your next summer-time get together!

We gave away super cute umbrellas for prizes and one lucky lady took home a

big watering can filled with gardening goodies!

We had each guest bring something to help stock the new couples pantry.

That basket was over flowing, I'd say that they are stocked for a while!

Each guest was also asked to fill out a little marriage advice card for the

bride-to-be....always a fun idea for a shower.

The happy couple!

All of the beautiful photos were taken by Lauren Burns Photography.

As Sweet As Cake!

Here is the latest and greatest. I designed this card for my soon-to-be sister-in-law for her bridal shower. It's not the typical Penelope Poppy style, I did something a little different this time.

I think it's really cute, I decided to dress it up a little with some Swarovski® crystals.

This card is currently for sale in the Penelope Poppy Etsy Shop!

Love In Paradise

This past weekend was my soon-to-be sister-in-law's {wow, that's a lot of hyphens} bridal shower. I designed "everything print" for the shower. My s-t-b {let's abbreviate} s-i-l, Lauren is also a designer. Designing for another designer can be really tough. I really wanted her to like them and thankfully she was very pleased with them!

The project included: invitations, recipe cards, marriage advice cards, a game sheet + bingo card, water bottle labels and signage for the doors! I really like how it all came out.

My sister-in-law Rachel's shower is next month {yep, you read it right....2 showers/2 weddings same family within 2 months of each other....it's been wedding mania} and I am designing her invitations {and some other goodies} too so stay posted!
