I know I promised this post about a month ago. But then I got to traveling and the Internet access is not always plentiful and hey when it comes down to a little time at the beach or one more blog post I have to admit I opted for the beach. But since the wedding hasn’t happened yet, I feel like I can still post about this bridal shower we hosted at the beginning of June. Plus this Bridal Shower Theme of bees is too great to ignore; after all they are Meant to Bee.
My mom is really the creative genius behind all of this. I researched and tested drinks for the event and helped create the honey jar party favors, but beyond that my mom pulled the rest of it together and what a crazy thing it was that she managed to create! Our cousin, who is getting married next month, has always been called B, so as the engagement was announced my mom was already dreaming up a Bee-themed bridal shower. (The last one she threw was Georgia peach-themed. This woman does not do mediocre.)
To work the Bee theme we went ahead and made everything yellow and black, even the hostesses for the day donned yellow and black clothing. Mom made large wreaths using wire-lined ribbons in, of course, yellow and black, as well as white and tan. Want to learn how to make your own? This is the video she used to get inspired.
As mentioned before, the party favors were little bottles of honey with yellow and black material tied on top with a honey dipper attached using thick twine. We attached a little Meant to Bee tag to each bottle to further create the theme.
The tables were decorated with bee-hive looking floral arrangements as well as upside down wine glasses with flowers and bees under the glass. We used black table cloths and yellow napkins, and, of course, the fine china.
The food was your usual summer fare – lots of fresh salads and a chicken salad pie that guests loved. The drinks, my specialty, was a buzzed lemonade that included tart lemonade and two different kinds of alcohol, as well as classic lemonade for the few under 21 gals that came. (Stay tuned for the recipe post on for the Buzzed Lemonade one!)
