Our Bridal Shower Brunch

This past Sunday, Mr. Peacock's sister Sharon was kind enough to host a brunch in our honor. Everything was absolutely gorgeous.

They were greeted at the door with this lovely chalkboard sign. This has become a trend at our showers and it will be carried through to the wedding day!

Mmm... mimosas with raspberries.

All the ladies brunchy foods were present, and delicious.

The chocolate fountain was a highlight of the party.

Presents!

There were hydrangeas and tulle everywhere! Mr. P's mom put together the cases, adding black and white pictures of us along with the overflowing flowers.

If you look closely, you can see Mr. Peacock's shortly lived beard. It looked pretty good on him, actually!

Me, Erin and my sister. They were very helpful during present time.

Sharon purchased these mugs to pass around while we were opening gifts. Everyone was able to write a little note and sign their name. I need to bake these for an hour or so to ensure that the signatures set. It was a wonderful idea!

My exquisite ribbon bouquet. Everyone was nice to me and I didn't need to break any ribbons. There were some fun flowers and other little curiosities to top it off.

My Goddaughter/cousin Martha and Mr. Peacock's cousin Jenna. These two were BFF 30 seconds after they met. They even exchanged email addresses!

The lovely couple and their mothers.

Everything was absolutely perfect. When most of the guests had left, we sat on Sharon's couch and tried to take it all in. Showers are kind of crazy things. The love is a little overwhelming. Sharon and Mr. P's mom were up until 4:00 am getting her home ready and making food. There were so many friends and family members that, until Sunday, I had only heard about. Everyone was so generous, both with their lovely gifts and the amount of time they spent traveling. We both felt so blessed!
