Erin's Shower

So I am the MOH of Erin S. wedding (I told her I don't want to be called the Matron of Honour because it sounds too old! So we are just going with MOH). Sunday was my dutiful day to throw her a shower. Let me tell you, leading up to Sunday was a whirlwind...especially EVERYDAY last week. Today I woke up and thought, I need the weekend back!
Never the less, we had a TON of F-U-N! What a shower it was! The color scheme was Purple Green and Pink (see invitation). Jos put together AMAZING floral arrangements (no I don't have a picture) and we had a fantastic spread of food and drink! Let me mention the most important part (no not Erin) THE DRINKS! This was a "Cocktails in the Garden" kind of shower and so our list included (from weakest to strongest) Water infused with cucumber and strawberries (no, not alcoholic vodka infused ones), Lavender Lemonade (straight lemonade, no alcohol again you alchies!), Coppola Family Rosso and Bianco wines (YES! THERE IT IS, THE A-A-A-Alcohol....look it up it's a song- probably not a good one, so forget about looking it up!), and The Signiture drink Erin's Signiture Chambord-Grey Lemon Drop. Here's the recipe cuz I know you are dying to know it!
3 parts Lemonade (we used country time)
1 part Vodka (Grey Goose- nothing but the best- YEAH MAMA C!)
1 splash Chambord (MMMMMM!)
Anyway the party was a hit. Here some pics of Mama C, Erin and I. Nate's video is coming maybe later this week if I get to it! This is the first night I have had nothing to do...it's kind of nice. BUT tomorrow is the continuation of the Shoe Saga for the Brides Maid Dresses...hey I am not complaining, any shopping is good shopping!
