A You've Got Mail Bridal Shower

I threw a bridal shower for my best friend Dyanna like a good maid of honor. 
Being in Washington and throwing it in California was only made possible with 
A LOT of help from the other brides maids and moms. 
Here a bit of what took place...

 The chocolate daisy party favor
 only green bottle drinks
 IZZE bottles as vases, candles, and pictures of the cute couple
 Mail for the bride
 Framed You've Got Mail quotes


 Who says you only need 1 cake?
I don't know what made me think of making the theme You've Got Mail, but it worked! The main color was green, we served "legal addictive stimulants" (coffee), daisies "the friendliest flower" were EVERYWHERE, guests left "mail" for her, and the soundtrack was playing on repeat. Not to mention all of the framed pictures and romantic movie quotes.

The theme can be taken a step further with a silent movie playing on a wall, boquets of sharpened pencils, vintage books all around, caviar garnish...really the possibilities are endless.
