The extra hydrangeas that I brought over were added below.
Didn’t Debbie do a great job on the décor?

through the holes in sand dollars.
Happy weekend everyone!

Hi, sweetie!
How nice to see your comment this morning! I was thinking about you the other day, missing your posts. I can't visit all the blogs as much as I used to because Matthew needs me all the time. He just started on solids, so we're working on that, plus lots of projects going on right now.
I'm so glad you liked the fabrics. It means a lot coming from you.
Have a great day, my friend!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love all the flowers – especially the ones in the powder room. And grapefruit mojitos? Those sound amazing. Such a beautiful home too!
It's all so over the top! The napkin ring idea is to die for, the handmade stationary?!?! Unreal. And that quick pic u took of her bookshelves left me wanting to see the entire room. Simply gorgeous. M.
It looks spectacular, but I won't expect anything less from the both of you!

This is so beauiful and elegant. I kept waiting to hear about the beautiful placemats and coasters. I am going back to see if I missed that. xo Ginger
The place mats are from Home Goods…I have some, too. Not sure where Debbie got the coasters but I can ask her.
Mary Ann-What an absolutely beautiful shower. I would have loved to have been a guest there—-so so so pretty! xo Diana
Such a pretty setting for what I'm sure was a fantastic shower – I think I need to check out the grapefruit mojito recipe. That sounds so good.
Mary Ann, You have so many talented friends and you are also. Everything looks gorgeous. I love how she set the tables. The flowers and all the little details are perfect. The chairs I love with it.

Oh for heaven's sake! Does Debbie do everything perfectly? Those bookcases and the pillow fabric are the most beautiful! She is one talented woman! I'm going downstairs right now, to pitch everything on my bookshelves and start over!
Oh My goodness. Picture perfect!! When I saw the entire dining table photo My jaw dropped> GORGEOUS. How do people do such beautiful things? Stunning.
What a gorgeous shower, I'm sure the guest of honor was thrilled! Every detail is truly perfect, I love her monogram notecards.
What a beautiful home and a beautiful party. Perfection. I am sure everyone will have a wonderful time.

That is so simply BEAUTIFUL. I've said it before — I want to hang with you creative girls! I could comment all day along about every single gorgeous element, but it would take too long 🙂 I especially love the chairs — so elegant and grounding in all that color. Hope the shower is as lovely as the decor.
Love the table cloth…
and that place is dreamy,
perfectly fixed for a bridal shower.
What lovely ideas here. The turquoise tablecloth fabric looks so pretty and that stationary is gorgeous. x Sharon (PS You are lucky to have such great handwriting – you should get it made into a font and sell it!)
Oh my. What a lovely party! I loved getting to see these beautiful photos. Clearly, you two are very talented!
Really pretty table. And i love the flowers , just gorgeous!
Everything is gorgeous as always!! You and Debbie do everything with finesse. I never get tired of seeing her home. (or yours)
And I drool over Debbie's patio every time I look at it!
