Gold Glitter & Parties

Do you love gold as much as I do? There are few instances where I see gold and don't like it. It's such a fun addition to parties and can really girl it up!

My best friends bridal shower was pink and gold themed and it was amazing to say the least. You can check it out here.

If you don't believe me that gold is a great addition to a party check out these examples.

Are you sold, will you be using gold at your next girly party? If I still love gold this much in a few years and if Baby P is a girl I want to do her big-girl room in gold and pink.

Tell me, what is your go to girly party addition?


Bridal Shower #2 of the 2011 Wedding Season

I may have mentioned before, Michael and I have 5 weddings to attend this season, including our own in December. On Saturday I was at the second bridal shower of the season... second of many! I thought I'd share some pictures of my favourite things from the shower.

The presents! Look how many Crate and Barrel boxes...my favourite!

Candy / Dessert Table. How cute is this? The candy and mini cupcakes were delicious!

The pretty flower arrangments

Last but not least, the delicious cocktail menu!

Are you planning a shower for someone and using some of these ideas too? What's your favourite part of this shower? I love the candy table and the cocktails!

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)

What's your bridal shower taste?

Happy sunny Monday!

I hope everyone had as great a weekend as I did. Saturday I had a lovely day at Elmwood Spa thanks to my dear friend Kiira and her family. Back in February Kiira's sister was married and Lipstik Events helped out with the day of tasks. As a thank you I received a gift certificate to Elmwood. It was such a lovely mental health day, I strongly suggest taking mental health days! Saturday night Michael and two of our friends, Joe and Sarah, had a delicious dinner at a fabulous new restaurant in Stouffville, Fishbone Bistro. The food and service were equally amazing, I highly recommend this restaurant! Yesterday, I was at the first of many bridal showers this wedding season, which has given me the inspiration for today's post... What's Your Bridal Shower Taste?

I'm getting married on December 10th and have recently started thinking about my bridal showers (yes, I said showers). The shower I went to yesterday was in a banquet hall in Mississauga and there were about 100 ladies present.  It was a lovely shower which now has me thinking about my bridal showers and what I'm hoping for.  I have been told that two of my aunts are throwing me a shower as is Michael's mother!

My initial thoughts are these: Intimate, fun, girlie, bright, enjoyable!

I'd love to hear what you did for your bridal shower or what you'd like for your own shower and what games you like or don't like.

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)
