Bridesmaid Fun!

Over the past two weeks, I've had the pleasure of planning and attending the pre-wedding festivities for one of my best friends whose wedding I'm in next month.  Two weekends ago was her shower and last weekend was her bachelorette party.

The shower was at her brothers' aquarium showroom.  They create aquariums for locations all over the area like Mystic Aquarium and Foxwoods Casino!  The day of the shower, I had three duties: flower arranging, photography, and the BOWquet.  
High school best friends!

Toilet paper wedding dresses!

So many gifts!

The story of present opening: Liz and the flower girls opening, the MOH taking notes, the other bridesmaids laughing, and me concentrating way too much on the BOWquet...

 

The bridal party minus a flower girl and a bridesmaid

We had the bachelorette in Newport and rented an adorable townhouse apartment!  The whole day was a scavenger hunt with the bride not even knowing it was her bachelorette weekend.
Lunch at the Red Parrot

The whole group: brides parents and fiancee, bride, bridesmaids, and friends!

A weekend in Newport definitely means a new Alex & Ani bracelet!

Not quite enough food for 7 girls...
