I had the pleasure of helping to host a bridal brunch last weekend for a good friend's daughter and wanted to share a couple of the details in case you might be planning a similar event. With everyone's work and travel schedules the only time to host the get together was the morning of the wedding. We were all concerned about planning too much the day of the wedding, but it all turned out to be very relaxed and fun! The bride and her bridesmaids needed to have a meal to get them through until the reception, so it was a practical way to kick off the exciting day.
We chose this colorful invitation and customized the colors of the bridesmaids dresses to match the actual wedding. You can customize the colors of any invitation from Little Lamb Design for a small fee!
Next, my friend Shaun put together these simple table decorations with potted Gerber daises, little stainless buckets from the hardware store, and some shiny sheets of wrap in between. It was simple, inexpensive and fit in perfect with our pink and green theme.
I had heard about doing a bridesmaid's cake with charms for years, and here was my opportunity to try it!
The tea room where we hosted the brunch baked us a fabulous strawberry cake, and as they assembled it they place a charm for each bridesmaid attached to a ribbon underneath. At the other end of the ribbon we had attached a card with the meaning or fortune that the charm was to foretell. Each bridesmaid and junior bridesmaid chose a charm to pull before we cut the cake. Fortunes ranged from, a camper charm which meant their life would be filled with travel to a ring charm which meant they would be the next to marry.
Somehow we all manged to eat a big slice of cake even though more cake awaited us at the reception just a few hours down the road. It was great fun to get to share a little relaxed time with the our good friend and all three of her daughters on such a special day!
I hope you have the same pleasure of being a part of such a happy celebration! Stella

I love the charm cake! Do you know where the charms and the little fortunes came from?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katherine! I don't actually remember. I just did a search for "bridesmaids cake charms." Thanks again!
Deletewent to your site but was unable to find an option for the pink and green invitations above. Is this still possible?
