Amanda's Bridal

These are my two favorite pictures from my big sister's bridal. She is stunning and looks so timeless - love it! Her photographer, Olivia Griffin, was amazing the day of her wedding too. When her wedding pics are ready I will post my favorites!

Thank You Brunch

Saturday morning Amanda held a "Thank You" brunch for everyone who has helped with her big day. This is the first time I have heard this and it was just the sweetest idea. She held it at the Piedmont Club in Spartanburg and we feasted on their AMAZING brunch! So excited her big day is 3 weeks away!

Amanda's Bridal Shower

So on April 18th, my 2 sisters, Kim, and I threw my big sis a kitchen shower. It was a total success and the food was amazing if I do say so myself. The menu ended up working out perfectly but was such a challenge to come up with. We served:

Chicken salad mini croissants

Broccoli and cheese quiche (thank you Hillary for the recipe)

Fresh fruit

Deviled eggs

Pimento cheese with rounds

Brownies (i mean what girl doesn't love chocolate)

Blossom cookies (family recipe)

Red velvet cake in the shape of a kitchen apron (family recipe)

Mimosas with orange slices

Classic glass bottle coca - colas

Sweet tea (basically like water in my family)

We played a two games and had great music. The party was held at Amanda's future home which has a huge patio so we had tables and chairs out there. We covered them with white linens and used emerald green vases with white flowers for the centerpieces. As for a favor, we had kitchen potholders with a label that said, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!". Soo flippin cute!

Amanda's Bachelorette Weekend!

My Big Sis is tying the knot this May so we took her to Hilton Head for her Bachelorette. We went to their annual Wine Fest and had a blast. That Saturday happened to be her 27th bday as well so it was so much fun at dinner to have a cake with all her girlfriends around. Our family friend, Hillary, came down for it and entertained us all weekend. Good Times!
