The Planner Bride: My Bridal Shower

I know I am very late with this post, but I finally finished with finals and are catching up on all my blog postings...

My Mom and Bridesmaids hosted my Bridal Shower at Grove Isle Hotel and Spa on October 24, 2009. It was truly a beautiful event, even with the rain. I was very involved (couldn't help myself). I came up with the design and decor of the event with help from Ana at AB Cover Designers and Rosie at Elegant Temptations. Since the fall is my favorite season, I choose to use the colors of October as an inspiration for the decor. As favors, I gave fall scented mini candles, which were decorated like the centerpieces (all with the help of my future family, bridesmaids, and friends). The centerpieces were created with the help of Nikki (one of the bridesmaids). I choose fall foliage and flowers to compliment the season. The vibrant colors of reds, yellows, browns, and greens accented the decor perfectly. And of course, Greg and Heidi from Gregory Paul Photography was there capturing every special moment and detail.

It was an event to remember, with music by Juan Areco, to create a fun and festival mood. My bridesmaids surprising me with very creative trivia games about Tito and I really got everyone bonding. It was a wonderful afternoon spent at one of the most beautiful hotels in Miami. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I am very blessed!

Thank You Mom, Caro, Mimi, Ana, Bianca, Helena, Nikki, and Sofi!
