Mrs. Sparkler's Picture
Mrs. Sparkler, Chicago Age and Occupation: 27, Communications Aficionado Fiance's Age and Occupation: 26, Publisher Engagement Date: July 21, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2011 Venue: Chicago Illuminating Company About Me: I’m a Southern lady living in the big city of Chicago. Well, lady may be a stretch, but I’m working hard to keep some Virginia charm in our sleek, urban, wedding-palooza! I’m addicted to marathons, not-so-famous bands, Chicago restaurants, and Mark Twain. I cry during SPCA commercials, and I think LOST was the best show to ever hit television. Mr. S and I met at a classy college mixer and, 7 years later, he’s still by my side. He’s the only child, laid back, free spirit... I’m the oldest of five kids, type-A, organizer. It doesn’t work on paper, but we’ve never paid attention to that stuff anyway. Somehow it works. And like they say, sometimes when you know…you just know.
About Mrs. Sparkler

This is a most appropriate title for this post, because my bridal shower was colorful.

See?

A Bright, Pink, Bridal Shower: Part I :  wedding bridal shower chicago 1 1

There’s nothing I love more than bright, vibrant colors… and that’s exactly what I got when I walked through the doors of my shower last Saturday. I was in love.

My mom, sisters, and friends must have spent hours creating those tissue poms! I’m so glad they did though! I wanted to take them all home with me and hang them in our kitchen, but I don’t think Sparks would have been as excited as I was. Anyway, beyond the cute tissue poms, I was greeted with mimosas (my favorite!), tons of tasty foods, and the most adorable favor bags I’ve ever seen (compliments of Sister Sparkler and her amazingly creative brain):

Feeling awfully touched right about now

Amazing! I’ve been proudly toting my favor bag around for days!

After I grabbed a mimosa (or two…ok, or three), I only had a few moments to soak it all in before our guests began to arrive. Next up, games and presents!

Is that a Sparkler-ed up version of the Chicago flag I see? (On the tote?!) Or am I reading too much into it… :) Either way, super cute shower all around!
