An Almost-Spring Bridal Shower

The beautiful thing about working 

with teenagers is watching 

them mature into nice young men and women.

My husband and I now team-teach

a group of college and career youth.

Today we had a bridal shower
for two of our loves.

Kyle and Mary Michael

Logue

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

I watched her guy grow up, 

but I have only known this sweet girl 

for a short while.

We share some of the same loves.

She loves making the old look new

and the new look old.

(I bought a door made headboard from her

that her sweetie made.)

She loves burlap.

She loves sunshine and sand.

From the smile on her face, 

Mary Michael is loving this!

The shower gave me a great opportunity

to get ready for Spring. 

I just love the moss covered bird.

The bridesmaids will be dressed in mint green,

So one of our hostesses made my favorite punch.

Lime Sherbet, I love!

Yummy!

I used some of my Ball jars 

with burlap

for the hydrangeas. 

I couldn't decide whether I wanted 

a Spring theme or a Southern garden theme.

I guess you can call it, 

"An Almost-Spring Bridal Shower."

So, we opted for a little of both.

I used burlap ribbon 

as a table runner

and added tea light jars

from Hobby Lobby.

A jar full of advice for the bride and groom.

YIKES!

My first attempt at a banner.

I had been wanting to try this.

I cut scraps of material and tied them

to the burlap ribbon.

Not sure it passed, but

it was FUN!

The most precious and beautiful gift of all

was a piece of her great-grandmother's quilt.

It was saved in a house fire

and only a part of it remained.

Her mother will have it framed.

What a treasure!  

We were trying to do the young, hand-on-the-hip thang.

The Bride, The Mother, and the Mother-in-Law to be.

This couple is loved by a lot of people who really care!

Last year in another wedding post, 

 I said this couple would be next.

I was right!!!

Blessings to you, 

Mary Michael and Kyle
