| Cutting out petals before starting any flowers. Sounds like a simple step to do, but it took me several flowers into the project to realize that I should have all the petals cut out before starting. |
 |
| I used pearly beads for the centers of the flowers. |
 |
| The bar pins were sewed onto felt pieces, that were then glued onto the backs of the flowers to cover up the stitching. |
 |
| Finished product. These little lovelies are ready to adorn ladies' chests. |
Here are a few photos of the other shower decorations.
 |
| The yummy fruit & candy-filled cupcakes that my other cousin (the bride's sister) made. |

| The bride's seat. |
 |
| Flowers (from Cub Foods!). |
 |
| Here are the flowers in context. They were bunched across the front of a table for the gifts. |
 |
| The ginormous, silly fake engagement rings used in a scavenger hunt. The little girls at the shower loved these. |
The shower went smoothly. We kept it to about 2 hours and only made the ladies suffer through two games. :) True to my family's planning skills, we had a lot of leftover food (some of which is now in my fridge - hello, weekday lunches!). I think the bride really enjoyed herself and appreciated all of the support we showed. I'm glad that I could help give her a nice little pre-wedding celebration.
