After the "YES", before the "I DO" 💍

in #hive-1244523 years ago

I remember watching wedding celebrations on TV when I was growing up and thinking to myself how much I'd love to be part of one some day. It's not about the party or the gifts, or even the food (yes, I know, hard to believe I'm saying this 😁). It's about having all the people that have impacted your life or changed its trajectory in a massively positive way, altogether, in one place, celebrating YOU!

Today, that's exactly what we did. We're getting one step closer to the wedding so it was BRIDAL SHOWER time! Knowing Sandra, we were all expecting something fancy and classy. And let me tell you, she knows how to plan and execute these things!

The shower took place at a very chill vibe Italian restaurant called Piatti (Sandra's half Italian so it made perfect sense). I had checked out the menu prior to arriving since I'm a curious one and it looked delicious.
We were greeted by a few of the ladies we had met previously during the Bach & Boujee weekend so we sat down and started mingling. Soon enough, our beautiful bride to be arrived! 🤩

She looked STUNNING! From her make up to her dress to her heels...To her beautiful smile, she was the diamond of the season 😌 She came in with Alex, he soon to be husband, but he quickly left - I mean, he probably felt overwhelmed being in a room with 20-30 women, chit chatting the day away 😁

Once he left, it was time for the food to be served. Drinks have already been served and yes, you guessed it - mimosas! While waiting for our starters, we played a game of how well we know the future Mrs. It was quite fun and we all scored great points!

All the food you see in these photos was a delicious masterpiece 🧑🏻‍🍳💋 I couldn't get enough of the arancini, the potatoes and the salmon! Will definitely be going back to this place!

After all the food, we played some more games, spent some time with Sandra and also took some time to do a mini photo shoot. Because did it really happen if we didn't take at least one selfie?! 😁

Remya also pointed out that the flowers on the tables matched the colour of my dress so obviously, I had to ask her to take a photo of me 👸🏻

All in all, it was a beautiful party with some great women, mouthwatering dishes and lots of laughter! Sandra looked as beautiful as ever and we all can't wait to be there on her special day beginning of June! 👰

Thank you for stopping by and reading through. Hope you enjoyed the photos as much as my words - although, I'm pretty sure it's the other way around 😁 Wishing you all a great and colourful Monday! 💛💜💚

My oh my... everything looks SO GOOD! Including the ladies😏

That final pic of you beside the flowers is just... Priceless! What a beautiful smile.

Congratulations to Sandra and everybody involved in the wedding prep. Great job all around.

Also, who can blame Alex for leaving so early... I know I would XD.

Hahaha thanks my friend 😁 I’m still not sure if Alex left voluntarily tbh lol

Thank you! Yes, I can attest to that - all ladies looked gorgeous 🤩

being in a room with 20-30 women, chit chatting the day away

Sounds like my idea of heaven, I kid you not 😋 The food looked pretty tasty too!

Your dress suited you, what a gorgeous colour and yes the bride to be Sandra looked a doll!

You’re so sweet, thank you very much😊
Next time, you can take my place then because I was looking for a reason to leave earlier (social anxiety at its best 😅)

social anxiety .... oh no! But there is no point taking your place, as you would not be there🤣

Beautiful bunch of ladies❤ And of course, the bride to be! Glad you enjoyed the delicious foods. Now I gotta find me something to eat, lol!

Thank you ☺️ Truth be told, I couldn’t stop snacking while others were engaging in games 😁 Bon appétit!

Haha, that would be me too, lol! Thank you and have a fabulous day
