A Garden Bridal Shower

I am honored to be the Maid (Matron :) ) of Honor in one of my best friend's from college weddings.  Caitlin's family is from Toronto, so I had the pleasure of planning her bridal shower in New York City.  Since most of her family lives in Toronto or other parts of the country it was a small, intimate shower.  I decided to have it at Bobo in their garden room.  Bobo did an amazing job, the food was incredible and the service was impeccable.  Grace, who is the event planner there, was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and our servers were over the top attentive without being over-bearing!  The garden room holds up to 35 people, but they have other rooms that hold more.  

Me, Caitlin and her Mom!

I decided to do the flowers myself (I found the idea on pinterest) and they were really easy and inexpensive DIY project.

I put together a small dessert table.  Caitlin hates chocolate so much I thought she was allergic to it the first few years that I knew her.  One of her favorite things to eat is a peanut butter and banana, sooooo I decided to make a banana cake with peanut butter buttercream for her. She loves candy so I made sure there was plenty of candy and had a few chocolate chip cookies for the other guests :)

As the favors I made mini peach pie jars since we have had such a great peach season!  

Isn't the space just great!

They had fresh fruit, croissants and banana bread on the tables.  We had burgers, a salad and two different egg dishes.  They continued to bring out fresh dishes :)
