On Saturday afternoon, I was whisked away by my mother and her friend, Barb, to my very own bridal tea party at Tres Jolie . It was a fabulous shower filled with tea, champagne, games, love, and last but not least presents!
All the lovely ladies in attendance!
Mama Cookie and me
The hostess with the mostess, Barb
What is a bridal tea without games?
First game: Tea Party Scramble!
Since Mr. Cookie and I are avid movie watchers, the second game was Wedding Movie Trivia.
A little blush champagne to accompany our tea!
Although there were no cucumber sandwiches, we were served these amazing turkey with brie and apricot preserve croissants. DELICIOUS! I am salivating just thinking about them. The scones, oh the scones were heavenly, especially with the Devonshire cream and blueberry preserves. Then our finger food was topped off with chocolate, cheese, and white cakes! Yummy!
Next up: present opening. I start you off with this photo — nice smiling Miss Cookie face…
Unbeknowst to me, the ladies were playing a little game on me while I was opening presents.
Let’s play: What will Miss Cookie exclaim on her wedding night?
” I already know what this is!”
“Gosh, it’s HEAVY!”
” Aww, it matches the other one!”
Yes!! Yes!!! Oh Yes! Thank you! Score!
All the ladies were a riot, and I had a wonderful time at my tea party. I finish my post with my favorite present of the afternoon…
…a cookie press and decorating set!
What interesting games were played at your shower?
That game while you were opening your gifts sounds hilarious. I will have to remember it next time I am at a shower.
I love your veil! I’m frankly not really a fan of veils, most particularly the fake cheesy ones, but yours is great! I love it.
It looks like you had a great time, I’m so glad!!
You are beautiful! It was really fun!
Oh I want a fun shower veil! You look so prim and proper.
So much fun - I love high tea!
You are so pretty in these pics!
Do I see your (or someone else’s?) Etsy purse on the table behind the champagne?
I’m not really into shower games, but that game they played while you were opening your presents is priceless!
@MagPie518: Good eye! You would be correct. That is my Ruby Red Rose clutch.
You looked so pretty and happy!! I got the same Calphalon baking set at my shower =)
I love the cute little viel-y hair thingie you’re wearing! Adorable.
@Miss Pomegranate: Pom — it’s my reception veil. Besides the wedding, high tea seemed like the perfect occasion to wear it!
It looks like a fun party. I have never been to Tres Jolie. Looks cute:)
Your makeup is GORGEOUS! Want to share any products or trade secrets?
