Jumping back to Atlanta for this post, we had another wedding shower for Lauren over the weekend. She is getting all set for married life and I’m very happy for her.

She’s been a bridesmaid for so many times,  now it’s her turn to shine.

One of my sister’s very close friend, Susan, and her daughter, Brittany, gave the shower at their house and they did a fabulous job.  Wonderful food and everything was delightful.  It was a beautiful spring-like day in Atlanta.

Beautiful pink cake with chocolate covered strawberries, the food was a girl’s dream.  I just love girly food, don’t you?  All the food was great, from spinach salad with strawberries, pasta salad, yummy bread, chicken salad, and grape salad, it was so good. Cute wedding bears on top of the island.Sis checking out the food. Lauren and her friends, Brittany (L) and Maggie (R). Me and Judy, one of my most precious friends in Atlanta.It was a smilin’ kind of day.Me and the bride to be, Lauren.More ladies. My cousin, Brenda, and her daughter, Denise.  They live in Suwanee, so have a bit of a drive over to Marietta. Laughing and talking, women love to do that. The presents are stacking up again.Lauren, starting the food line.  We all pigged out.So delish.Susan, taking a pic of me taking a pic.Loved the cake message:  From Miss to Mrs. with Our Best WishesHand-dipped chocolate strawberries were oh, so yummy.Roses on the table.Eating, talking and more eating.Aren’t showers fun?Ready to being opening gifts…again!Looking on.She got 2 of these beautiful Pottery Barn lanterns.Pretty pink package.With Fiesta mixing bowls inside.A cute bird print from Bed Bath and Beyond.And for the Georgia grad, a Georgia bulldog party platter.This was a fun and unique idea.  Everyone was encouraged to write a marriage tip on cute tags and attach them to the Love Tree.Very cute idea. Hand written notes to keep and cherish. There were some great tips written down and Lauren read them all out loud.  The four of us had to get another pic of all of us:   Renee, Lauren, Mom, Me

It’s been a fun time of celebrating.  Hope you are enjoying the wedding festivities too.  We sure are!

    Thanks for sharing these sweet times with us Rhoda. I am having a “sprinkle” for my daughter in love and I loved seeing the menu decorations etc. I loved the way the island was decorated at different levels. I think I will do that for my sprinkle but I will use baby boy toys as decorations.

      Hi, Bonita, I don’t have that recipe, but I have seen several grape salad recipes. See if you can Google one,I think it’s a cream cheese base with maybe sour cream too. It was good!

    Dear Rhoda,

    I love your site. Thanks so much for sharing all the lovely photos. It would be fabulous if you could obtain the recipes for the salads at this shower and share them with us. Know it might be a bit of trouble for you, but they look so ultra-delicious. Thanks again.

    That looks like so much fun! I love wedding showers. 🙂
    So glad you are getting to enjoy this precious time with your family. Your mom is adorable.
    Was this in Marietta? My hubby grew up there.
    I go through GA a lot. My SIL lives outside of Atlanta, and my MIL and FIL live in Eatonton, Ga. Maybe I can see you sometime when I’m down there! Wouldn’t that be fun?
    Luv u!!
