Showered in Love

I recently posted about my sister's wedding back in April. This weekend, we had her bridal shower and the theme was a mash-up of "Southern", "Rustic" and "Casual". My sister is NOT the typical Southern belle that's into monograms and pearls and seersucker (BUT I AM! WE ARE SO DIFFERENT!) so I wanted to emphasize casual.

The Southern Elements

• Cheerwine punch
• Chicken & waffles
• Bojangles biscuits and seasoned fries
• Grits buffet
• Mason jars
• Pimento cheese
• Cotton blossoms

The Casual Elements

• Farmer's market flowers (instead of arranged bouquets)
• Sangria! (Although any excuse for sangria is good enough for me!)
• Mini doughnuts
• Location (small, modern local art gallery) 
• No monograms! 
• Buffet style food and no assigned seating

The Rustic Elements

• Metal/galvanized decor and serving ware
• Wood accents including handmade food description card holders 

Here are some photos. I'm pleased with how everything turned out and it was a great way to celebrate the bride with some of her closest friends and family.
