Make Your Own Bouquet Bridal Shower Brunch

I was honored to be able to host this Make Your Own Bouquet Bridal Shower Brunch for my niece to be! The Make Your Own Bouquet set up was new to me (been to, but not hosted one), and it was such a fun addition to a brunch shower! Everyone loved making their own bouquets which were also their party favors!! The centerpieces on each table were made the evening before by my sister and I. I never knew she had floral skills, but she’s a natural at flower arranging!

Unlike most showers that I host, I didn’t know many of the guests, but loved getting a chance to visit with her family and friends and can’t wait to see them all next month at the wedding! Chelsea is going to be a gorgeous bride!

Make Your Own Bouquet Bridal Shower BrunchIf you’ve read any of my other hosted event posts, you’ll know that from the moment guests arrive, I like to “welcome” them to my home. I start at the porch with a welcome sign and fresh flowers! As soon as you pull up, you immediately know that you’re at the right house.

Balloon arches are my new decoration of choice. Using balloon tape, they are very easy to make and are certainly a statement decor piece!

Make Your Own Bouquet Bridal Shower BrunchOnce guests stepped outside (through french doors off my kitchen), they were able to start on their Make Your Own Flower Bouquets! SO MUCH FUN!! I flower shopped at a local wholesale flower shop a couple of days before the shower, choosing all the flowers I could find in the shower colors! Hello lots of pinks, yellows, whites, and greenery!

I set out everything the ladies would need to make their own bouquet:

  • fresh flowers
  • cutters
  • vases
  • ribbons (I cut them in yard lengths and filled a tin bucket with an assortment)
  • tags
  • I even printed up an “instruction” sign

Make Your Own Bouquet Bridal Shower BrunchRight before the guests were instructed to refill their beverages and find a seat, we set fruit/yogurt/granola parfaits at each place setting. Once everyone was seated, I welcomed the guests and we played a “The Price is Right” game, where guests had to correctly guess the prices of household cleaning and kitchen products. After the game, we headed into the dining room to serve up some delicious brunch food! We had two kinds of quiche, bacon, sausage, blueberry french toast casserole, champagne orange salad, and a bagel bar. You can find the recipe for the Blueberry French Toast Casserole HERE. I should have mentioned to the guests to save room for dessert!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! There was also a Berry Chantilly Chiffon Cake and some mini tarts. All desserts were from Whole Foods. As I have mentioned before, take short cuts where you can. Sometimes semi-homemade is the way to go!

    Hello, I love this idea!! I was planning to do something similar for my friend’s bridal shower this year. Would you be willing to share the signs you made for the Make Your Own Bouquet station?
    Thank you so much!

Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!

We are experiencing some crazy storms lately! Our poor town has been battered with wind, rain, and flooding! It’s days like this when I’m thankful for family, a warm house, and a stocked pantry! If you’re looking for an easy and delicious soup, try my go-to Tortilla Soup! You can make it stovetop or in a slow cooker (like I did today). Click the link in my profile to get to the recipe.
🥣🌧️ 🥣🌧️🥣
Enjoy and stay safe my friends!
