    Julie's Bridal Shower

    My little brother is getting married in less than a month!!! Yes even though he is 6'4" he is still my little brother. Last week we had a bridal shower for his beautiful bride-to-be Julie. She is such a great girl and I'm unbelievably happy that Adam has chosen such a wonderful woman to call his wife. We all grew up only one street apart but Adam and Julie never dated until he graduated from college. The two of them even had the same truck as their first vehicles. She drove a red Dodge Ram pick up and he drove a Silver one. How cute is that?! They will be getting married May 10th in Sarasota, FL at Laurel Oaks Country Club and I can't wait!

    At the shower I was too busy having fun and enjoying everyone's company to take many pictures but here are a couple.

    I designed some custom invitations for the shower... there is a photo on the back too but my Aunt probably wouldn't like the entire world to know her address so you only get to see the front.

    Here are a couple from their impromptu engagement session we had on Christmas Day down in New Smyrna (the day after they became engaged.)

    Adam has the most infectious laugh ever... seriously I laugh til I cry when I'm with him.

    There was an awesome group of ladies at the shower... we had so much fun. Even a huge thunderstorm didn't stop the festivities!

    Julie sporting the "Bride" baseball cap she got, bachelorette sash, and the most amazing ribbon bouquet ever made!!! (Shameless pat on the back: I made it... the photos do not even do it justice... I may go into bow bouquet making one day... I'm not even kidding!)

    And these are some ribbons I shot for commercial use for Swoozies.com that I thought were fun so I just threw them in with all the other ribbon photos in this blog.
