Megan's Bridal Shower Part 1

This weekend I had the opportunity to co host a wedding shower for my good friend and Client Megan. We had a great time and wanted to share with you all of the details. The shower was hosted at the Durand State Bank in Durand IL. Since Megan is using black and white damask with a red accent for her wedding, we decided to change to color scheme a bit for the shower. We paired black and white damask with hot pink and orange. I love how the colors popped!

Here you can see the popcorn station that we designed for the shower. We ordered original, cheese, caramel and my favorite parmesan and garlic popcorn from momandpopcorn.com.

Here you see the cupcake wraps from Kitchen Krafts to let guests have a taste before choosing their flavor to take home.

Here is our guest of honor Megan! She matched her theme from head.....

to toe!!!! LOVE these shoes.

The centerpieces for the shower were created by my sister in law, Tiffany Burdick. She is the owner of The Petal Boutique. Website coming soon. For more information contact me here.

They featured, hydrangea, hot pink spray roses, orange circus roses, fuchsia stock and mokara orchids

Tiffany used rose stems to create a more modern arrangement for the popcorn station.

The Bride was in love with the smell of the roses!

We created a wrist corsage for Megan to finish off her look!

These are my lovely co hosts carrying out lunch for all of the guests.

Instead of having a lunch buffet each guest was given a prepacked individual lunch.

Looks yummy! huh! The best part of this idea if you are hosting an event is that clean up is a snap. Everyone placed their garbage back in the bags and we collected and disposed of them.

After lunch the bride could hardly wait to steal a taste of the popcorn.

So now that you have seen all of the decor and menu for the shower, check back Friday to see the games and gifts in Megan's bridal shower part 2

Popcorn!

Interested in having a favor station at your wedding? How about Popcorn!
No matter if you are in a small town or the city, popcorn is a treat that is treasured by all.

I live in the suburbs but travel to the city during the week, so I figured I would share my two favorite Popcorns in both places.

Sycamore, IL. The Popcorn Stand

This has been a favorite since I was very little. My family lived very close to downtown Sycamore, so we could walk up town to The Popcron Stand. They offer all of the classic favorites white popcorn, cheese popcorn, carmel Corn and popcorn balls! The best part is the quaint small town appeal of the old fashioned popcorn stand, which has been open by various owners for over 118 years!!!

Chicago, IL Garretts Popcorn

This is a chicagoland favorite. In 2002, Oprah featured the Garrett Mix on her Favorite Things episode. I have to agree with Oprah Because it is my favorite as well! They also offer Plain, Buttery and Caramel Crisp Popcorn.
