Bridal Shower Numero 2!

I had such an amazing time at my shower (number 2!) on June 29th. My bridesmaids and Mom put together everything and it was so beautiful, thoughtful and carefully planned out. I think by this shower, I felt a little more comfortable with being the bride-to-be at my shower... and feel that I was able to talk with everyone there :)

This was the beautiful set up in my sisters backyard! Pink and grey lanterns hanging from the trees, pink gerber daisies on the tables with pink and white table clothes and even the plates and cutlery were pink! My sister had a "vision" for the set up, and it was perfect and even coordinated with my wedding colours: grey and pink.

And I arrived just at the right time because as I was arriving everyone was gathering for a picture before the guests arrived. All of these bridesmaids did so much to make my shower perfect: preparing and bringing food, decorations, and games. This is all my bridesmaids and flower girls (Natalia hiding behind us by the tree) but my one missing lady is Alyssa since Ottawa is too far away :(

This candy bar made me so excited! Andzelika had this brilliant idea (also matching with the wedding because there will def be one at the wedding!) and she gathered the candy and glass jars. Nikki got the pink boxes to put the candy in! The flower girls were all up in this... who knew they loved mints so much!

Present time! I was a little more comfortable with eyes on me knowing what to expect this time... Aleksy and I continue to be so astonished and grateful for how much everyone has done for us throughout this whole wedding experience. My showers were another reminder of this. We received lots of household items, many structube gift cards to purchase a new dining room table (after the wedding!) and all the money we received is going toward out limo rental! So so appreciative!

And thank goodness for my bridesmaids who helped with handing me the presents, throwing out the garbage, and writing in the card what each gift was. It would have been a long process without them.

Today's to do: buying thank you cards for both my showers!

This is my amazing shower cake! So beautifully done with pink gerber daisies to match the decor. My bridesmaid Steph's friend Emily is an amazing pastry chef and made this for the shower! She also made Steph and Al's wedding cake which I still remember that chocolate and strawberry goodness! So profesh.

I was so happy that I was able to get pictures together with all of my guests! This is my little sister Brooklyn and her Mom Jenn. I was so glad they were able to make it: Brooklyn's first bridal shower!

Sam, Scarlett and me! This dress that Scarlett is wearing is the Christmas gift that we gave to her! Sam saved it specially for the shower! It was also perfect because my 4 flower girls also seemed to match with the pink theme, and Scarlett was also well coordinated. Scarlett is a fashionista whose wardrobe far exceeds my style so of course Scarlett had some additional accessories with her fedora to match!

Sam was the baby whisperer at the shower, and after they set up the blanket on the ground, the other girls were like magnets! Maybe it was Scarlett too... wanting to check out the other littler girl!

And my Aunt Cindy, Laura and Grandma! Everyone was complimenting the sun hats that my Aunt and Grandma had on.. so summery! And I am quite sure that this is the only picture that I have with the ladies of the family (should have stole my sis for this)!

This shower, Aleksy was timely with his arrival to say thank you to the hostess, my Mom and bridesmaids who put this all together. He even gave each of the flower girls a rose!











So grateful for all the shower love that we received. The next event coming up is my Grand Bend Bachelorette weekend then wedding!
