Recipe for a Perfect Party or Blushing Brides Party - Continued!
The advantage of not having my camera for a few days, is that I have been able to see all the fabulous photos taken by Corey, Lea, Nicol, and Annie of our 'Blushing Brides Party', and re-live the day over and over again. What a treat!!!
For my post, I thought I'd share with you the 'Recipe' for a FABULOUS FETE, in hopes that it may inspire some of you to create your own wonderful party of friends...
Imagine the frenzy created, when the invitation arrived. "TO THE DARLING BRIDES THAT ARE" it said... my first question was "Who is getting married???" to which the response was "We are!". Nine women, full of life, experience, creativity and magic - dug deep in their wardrobes for appropriate attire - playing dress-up like beautiful dolls in need of playmates...


With Lace, Ribbons, Flowers, and a sprinkling of fairy dust, they arrived giggling, smiling and chasing shadows.

Rice flew high in the air, and laughter soared... neighbors wondered what all the festivity was... We each signed in at the guest book, and strolled up the 'wedding walk', decorated in tulle and flowers...




Inside, the lights were lit, the table was set and the wedding cake stood tall...



But, no wedding is complete without a ring... a ring with a sparkling diamond crown, diamonds are Forever you know - queens that we all are!
And true to form, what do queens do??? They PARTY, and laugh, and giggle and party some more!!!



They relax, feeling nurtured and relieved that all went well...

They spend time chatting, gossiping, gazing and SHARING... HUGS TO YOU SHELLEY!!!
Truly it was as if I were 5 again, and transported to my ultimate fantasy of what a party could and should be like!!! A day when friends gathered and dolls came to life, singing songs of joy and making memories for a lifetime! May we inspire you to do the same!!!!

THANK YOU MARY, ALMA, DENISE, RENEE AND COREY FOR A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET and THANK YOU SHELLEY, LEA, ANNIE, and NICOL FOR SHARING IT WITH ME!!!!



Absolutely crazy!!!
But absolutely delicious!
I'm very happy to discover this blog (and please please excuse my loose english ;) )
I think that, if I organised that kind of party, people could think I'm mad...

Oh, Ulla you did such a lovely job capture the
moment in your photos. I can't tell you a special time this was for me spending the day with you. I found a part of myself that I almost forgot was there. Your creative and sweet spirit rekindled and sparked me. It was an memory I will never forget. I was so inspired that I have to decided to create a blog and venture into blogland. XOXO until we meet again. Your Friend

Oh my you are so lucky to be so close to one another:D What a precious event!!!!! What fun......I wish I knew enough people that would "get it" to have a tea party or wedding celebration here! It takes a certain kind of person to enjoy the finery of life...ha..ha! Somehow I can't imagine many of my friends getting into the spirit of things:( That is what I love about this blog......getting to take part wonderful moments like this:D So glad you had a BALL!!!!!
