Christine's Bridal Shower

Okay so here's the drama/saga of the cupcake bouquet. I found this idea on the internet and I thought it would be SO adorable for either the shower or the reception. They're elegant and they really do look like real flower bouquets. My mom made the cupcakes earlier in the day, we already purchased the pails that would go perfect for Christine's decor, and we were ready to give it a whirl. We really weren't sure exactly how to frost the cupcakes, so some were plainly frosted and the others had a fancy chrysanthemum design, all thanks to Heather. We sprinkled some raw sugar on top to give it a "dewy" look and started poking away with the skewers. This turned out to be a little rougher than expected. The cupcakes were too heavy. Some fell right away, others stayed on until the shower. Needless to say, they're really only good for looks and not necessarily practical. I mean, once they fall off (which could be at any second) then the whole cupcake is ruined and well, what's the point of that anyway? So, we probably won't be attempting this in the near future although they did turn out darling! I'm just glad I snapped a picture before they all fell off.This is about half of Christine's loot, she had a good turnout and thank you to all the family that came, it was wonderful!We started with my mom ready Christine's version and Stephen's version of how they met and fell for each other. Initially Christine was kinda annoyed by him so I wanted all the family to have the good, juicy details.

We threw Christine a room shower, and each person had an assigned room for one of the following that she needed: bathroom, bedroom, laundry room, pantry closet, and game closet.
