About Me: I was born and raised in Maine, now living in Annapolis, Maryland and planning a hometown wedding from afar. I’m nothing short of obsessed with wedding planning, and am loving the do-it-yourself madness that has now taken over my life! As for me, I’m a craft-loving, martini-drinking, girly-girl who loves traveling, photography, my schnauzer, and above all, spending time with Mr. Tiramisu.
Queen For A Day
April 16th, 2008 @ 12:11 pm by Miss Tiramisu
This past weekend was a busy one - not only did we have our engagement photo shoot on Sunday, I also had my bridal shower on Saturday. Seven of Mr. Tiramisu’s mom’s closest friends hosted this most amazing event! I was a little nervous going into the party, and they knew it, so they did everything in their power to make the day perfect.
I was happy to see everyone was wearing their nametags! Although I had met everyone at least once before, I am so terrible with names. I didn’t need a nametag, however- there’s no mistaking the bride when she’s wearing a veil:
My maid of honor, Carolyn, and I. Carolyn had the hair trial for her wedding right before the shower - looks fabulous, no?
The hostesses had asked me in advance what my favorite cake flavor was- and just look at this dessert spread!
Front and center is the chocolate raspberry cake!
I was amazed to discover that one of the hostesses had arranged those flowers herself- wow. They are now sitting on our dining room table- looking a little out of place among the wedding mess, but oh-so beautiful.I was lucky to be surrounded by so many of Mr. Tiramisu’s friends and family- including four of his adorable cousins:
Involving the cousins: on the left are our two flowergirls, and on the right are two of our lovely guest book attendants.
Before long it was present time! Here are a couple of my favorites:
A beautiful silver frame from his grandmother, featuring a baby Mr. Tiramisu pic 
A gorgeous mirror from my sister-in-law, Iva, who’s on the left in green.
The shower hosts were just unbelievable the whole time- constantly keeping a glass of wine in my hand and a piece of cake in front of me throughout the party- I felt like royalty!
Just- wow.
Mr. Tiramisu made an appearance towards the end of the shower-
Check out my awesome ribbon bouquet!
I love this picture of my Mom and me- she traveled all the way from Maine for my shower!
The best part though is that it totally looks like Mr. Tiramisu is leaning in for a butt grab.
At the end of the day I was totally overwhelmed at all the love being thrown my way. All I’m doing is getting married- it happens all the time! Any one else feeling totally in awe of the generosity?

I have my first shower this weekend, and I’m already overwhelmed and nervous. I’m sure it will be a lot of fun, but being the center of attention always makes me nervous.
Your shower looked beautiful and fun! What a good time!
HOW FUNNNNN! Your shower looked so fun and I love the gift from grandma…how cute
You are the cutest! So glad you had a great time at your shower. My shower is this Saturday and I’m a little nervous but excited
So cute! I love reading your blog because I’m a Maine girl planning a hometown wedding from DC.
You look so lovely … I’m actually really jealous of your lovely dress from Anthropologie. You look fabulous in it!
Can’t wait to see how your engagement pics went.
Isn’t it the best feeling? I had my first shower about 3 weeks ago and I was so nervous… even thought they were my best friends… it was nice but it didn’t set me feeling like I was getting married. After this past shower at home, I’m definitely feeling that I’m getting married. My family was so sweet and they “showered” us with gifts and love! I can’t wait this weekend for the shower with his family… My parents are actually coming so I’ll feel very comfortable.
That Anthropologie Blue Dress looks nice on you. I tried on but it wasn’t for me but it looks great on you. I got the navy blue simple dress for a friends wedding.
I think showers, no matter who they are for, tend to be one of the most enjoyable events during the whole wedding planning process–I had a blast planning my SIL’s a few years ago, and am looking forward to planning a dear friends’ in a couple of months. Yours looks like it was lots and lots of fun!
I know the date and location of my upcoming shower (not until July) because I’ll be coming in from out of town, but other than that I am completely in the dark about details…so while I’m excited, I’m also a little nervous as to what my godmother and bridesmaids have planned…
I have been coveting that dress…so pretty. I’ve promised myself an Anthropologie dress to wear for my shower!
[…] still can’t get over the amount of time and energy that was put into my bridal shower. Look at these […]
