I had the lovely privilege of planning Kim’s bridal shower. I got free range over everything (from food, colors, decor, etc) which I love because then my talents in design can be fully unleashed. Since Kim’s favorite colors are blue and green I made that the theme of the shower (no all-white for this shower). It was a brunch, so I got to have fun with the food since I don’t get to do a lot of brunch parties. I used green fruit to decorate with and blue glass stones and decorated the tables in hues of blues. The food was catered from my favorite spot (chocolate fruit cups, yum!) and was nicely offset with white modern platters/serving dishes. And of course, mimosas were a must! Kim is a lovely girl and I was thrilled to be able to plan her a bridal shower.
 

This is one holiday that I seem to glance right over. A lot of people, myself included, would rather go out than stay in. Maybe the green beer is tempting them to go out, or the fact that everyone will be wearing ridiculous green tee-shirts that say, “kiss me, I’m Irish” but either way, I don’t throw that many St.Patrick’s Day parties. However, I hope to change that in the coming years, especially since I find the phenomenon of cocooning a lot more appealing than fighting traffic downtown. But nonetheless, I thought I would inspire the party-throwers with a little inspiration for a lucky green filled party.
