This weekend... my sisters threw me the most incredible "Shoe" Shower. Most of you know how much I LOVE shoes... especially my wedding shoes. It was one of those days of your life that goes by so fast, you wish you could do it over and over again. The amount of thought and love that went into the planning is phenomenal. My sisters did such a stunning job - I absolutely love them to pieces.
It all started with this adorable invitation:
"Before the Bride can walk down the aisle
we must help her celebrate in style.
Wear your favorite pair of shoes &
join us for a shower honoring Tracy."
The entire theme of the day was shoes!
((Everyone Was Asked To Wear Their Favorite Pair!))
I can't tell you enough how much THOUGHT and LOVE went into this from my sisters and everyone who attended the shower.
The favors were so amazing...
these are leather stiletto shoe key chains.
and my sister Kelly got all of these "clean linen" (my FAVE scent) candles for the favors too...
And, my mom's good friend Barbara went to 3 different cookie shops to find one to make the perfect Stiletto shoe for another favor. (there were 60 of them!) Not only we're they SO yummy... there was a special one in Blue with my name on it! So sweet!! Thank You, Barb.
One of my favorite things about it all was the CAKE!
(notice the shoe! My sister drove very far with my nephew in the car and printed out a picture to get this cake...)
Isn't it AMAZING?!?
The food was delicious. My sweet sisters got
all of my favorites. And my mom found me this amazing shoe Ornament that was a wonderful centerpiece in the food!
Even the prizes were shoe theme (& adorable). A stiletto luggage tag, a cake candle to go with a stiletto cake server, and a stiletto bottle opener.
Notice the black and white polka dotted ribbon they had on everything!
It was so special to me to have friends and family all around me. Every single person at the shower is so special to me. Friends from High School, College, Work. My aunts and family. My girlfriends mom's were there, My soon to be mom-in-law was so sweet with the gifts she bought for me. Everyone was so thoughtful with the gifts they gave and the cards they wrote.
It warmed my heart.
Flower Girls, Ring Bearer, and lots of family & friends!
(Mom, Me, Juju, Kel)
Thank You, Kel & Juju, for all of the thought, love, and time you put into this beautiful day. It was absolutely one of the most memorable days of my life. I am so blessed to have such incredible women in my family.
