Mom Pineapple, She’s a Crafty One

November 24th, 2008 @ 3:26 pm by Mrs. Pineapple

Mom Pineapple made one of my favorite gifts I got at my bridal shower. It was a dress shopping scrapbook.

Way back before I was a bee, my folks and bridesmaids flew from all over the East Coast to go dress shopping with me. I didn’t want to plan the weekend before March, because Pittsburgh winters can be messy. However, I didn’t want to wait too long just in case the dress would take a while to arrive. So, March it was. I was wrong about the weather being okay. Almost every flight was delayed and our neighborhood (home to the steepest streets in the world) was covered in ice.


After we got everyone to the house and fed, we were able to actually have some fun in the snow. I am pretty confident that Kim and Lindsay, both from Florida, enjoyed the snow the most. We built a snowman with stubby arms (thanks to Kim) and ears. Then my sister decided the snowman needed a heart and hair made from strawberry syrup.

He looked like he was impaled.

Then first thing Saturday morning we went David’s Bridal, the only store we ended up visiting. After an hour and fifteen minutes I had my gown.

Having all of my best friends go shopping with me was a wonderful experience. It really meant a lot to me, and now, thanks to my mom, I have a lovely book to remember the weekend by.

Were you able to bring your bridal party dress shopping with you?

I went with my mom when I found my dress. My sister (and MOH) came in the next day and we went back to visit it. It was so nice to have them both there for such a special experience! Your book is TOO cute. What a crafty mom :)

All but one of my BM (who lives in Vegas– the rest of us are in OC) made it gown shopping with me. They were there when I found “the dress.”
