Peaches & Cream Wedding Shower Festivities


My youngest sister-in-law is getting married and we couldn't be happier!! Her color scheme is peach and champagne! So me and my other sister-in-law got to work to make the most amazing shower we could for Kate!

From beautiful desserts to the peachy advice Katelyn's day came together!


I would first like to thank all my bloggy 
friend for all their hard 
work and amazing hearts!
 Please check them out on their webpages, blogs 
and etsy shops! 
They are some talented ladies!!














Introducing:

Barbara A Ryan

I am an artist by trade, and I love creating unique and fun works of art! My goal, as an artist, is to create each and every piece of work to the best of my abilities! I strive for perfection, and Want each and every customer to be happy with their purchase! If you are not for any reason, just let me know, and we will work it out. 
I create each and every banner to be one of a kind designs. On occasion there will be some Holiday Banners done in multiples. I hand paint my recycled chipboard squares, as well as the letters. I will often do some hand stenciling, some stamping, and some illustrations directly onto the cards! I will use scrapbook papers if they fit into my design, and I do love to add some embellishments to jazz things up! I offer a unique style to the Banners, something different, created by an artist! These are Banners and floorcloths, and gifts of art that you will be proud to display in your home, or to give as gifts! My Wedding Banners are elegant and sophisticated, but I will do a Rustic, or Beach style at your request. I pride myself on being able to create something for your Special Day that reflects who you both are...Just ask me, and Ill let you know if I can do it! 
My floorcloths are very eco-friendly! I use organic canvas, and water based soy and acrylic paints and sealants. They are sturdy and durable, lasting for years and years of use! I can design just about anything on a floorcloth! They can match your furniture patterns, wallpaper designs, colors of any room in your home, the ideas are endless! They also make great and unique gifts of Art To Walk on! 




She made this beautiful banner for me!




I think this picture perfect dessert table is my

 very favorite part. 

Cake, cake balls, cupcakes, peach shaped sugar cookies, chocolate lolli pops and a beautiful cake

in matching hues of peach really speak to how wonderful

 this day was. 







Introducing NecessiTees:



NecessiTees is a wonderful site! 

She was kind enough to give me

 24 Cupcake Pick Toppers for Kate's wedding shower. 

They really made the tops of the cupcakes standout! 

So unique and special to make

 the dessert bar standout even more!!








Introducing Talking Twine and Trim:



Talking Twine and Trim donated these

 amazingly cute bags!! 


These peach polka treat bags are the 

perfect little way to send 


your guest off with a favor. 


They were 5x7 in size and come 1 dozen to a package.


 She sent me 48 of them! 


They  were a great addition to Kate's shower!











I used these cute bags at the dessert bar to collect the extra goodies for our guests!


Introducing  The Stringery:

We are a small Etsy shop that 
sells all things string and ribbon.
 I started this business in February 
2012 to fulfill my need for that extra
 bit of something on my layout.

I love the way Bakers Twine looks on 

packages, cards and scrapbook layouts 
and I found myself reaching for it often. 
I started my collection with just a few 
colors and it quickly grew from there.

I carry the original twine, 

Divine Twine and The Twinery 
colors in the shop as well as some basic ribbon.
 Each month, I try to add a few new 
colors or styles. We just got back from
 the Summer Craft and Hobby show 
where we found brand new ribbon to bring back.

Our small Design Team is active

 on Facebook (link:www.facebook.com
/pages/The-Stringery/355343371150786?ref=hl) where
 we share our ideas with everyone.
 If you share our love of all things 
string, I'd love to see your creations. 
Post them on our Facebook wall or 
send an email to the shop email 
and we'll share them with the 
rest of our string friends!







The Stringery has a super cute shop!
She was so generous enough to offer this
 super cute peach twine!!

We used the twine for the mason jars at for the silverware!


I was looking for a super cute sign for 

Kate's shower stating how many days 
left until the big day.
SOOO let me introduce Lane Love Design!
