J's Bridal Shower

Last August J and S got married and I hosted J's bridal shower at my parents house.  J was just sent some of the photos from the shower.  I am hoping to get more, so as soon as I get those I will post them as well!

I had the shower catered by a mother/daughter team based in Kamloops.  D and her daughter were absolutely amazing, the food they prepared was all made with local fresh ingredients and tasted phenomenal.  I did add in some 'store' bought items, such as the lemon tarts, mini cupcakes, and macarons...but they all came from local family owned/run restaurants. 

I already did a post about the teacup candles, so here are some photos from the rest of the party.
