Hannah's Bridal Shower!

Saturday, I (with a lot of help from my mom!) was able to host a bridal shower for my sweet friend Hannah. Hannah and I became friends when she moved to my hometown in the third grade, and we were best friends all the way through high school. We kind of lost touch when I went to Fort Smith for college, but it has been so fun reconnecting with her the last few months -- and it's like no time has passed at all! Hannah's wedding colors are a deep purple with a splash of turquoise, so we went with those colors for the shower as well. The theme was summery/mason jars/casual... Here are the invitations I made

(The flash didn't want to work with me, so it's a little blurry)

For the mason jars, we raided my granny's house and were so lucky with what she was able to let us borrow! I am in LOVE with the antique turquoise jars she has. I even found one that commemorated America's bicentennial; it was definitely my favorite one.

 These are the smaller ones we put on each of the tables. The hydrangeas came from my mom's flower bed! We've been praying they would make it until the day of the shower because they were the perfect colors! 
 This is one of the three larger ones she had -- love them. The tall purple flowers are ones my mom has been eyeing on the side of the road on the way to our house. She cut them down on the way to the shower! The joys of living in the country! 
 This beverage tub was on Hannah's registry. Mom and I bought it and monogrammed it for her with the help of our friend Beverly's cricut machine -- love how it turned out! 
 This was also on her registry, so we had to make it match the beverage tub of course! 
 Our spread of food! 
 We used my granny's clear mason jars as cups since they were kind of the whole theme! 
Hannah and I forgot to get a picture together at the actual shower, but we had her fiance snap this one later at their apartment where we ended up chatting for a good three hours after the bridal shower and dinner with friends.

I am so thankful to have friends that I can pick back up with at any time! Congrats to Hannah and Will -- I can't wait to celebrate your big day with you next week!! And a BIG thanks to my mom for helping with everything shower related -- you're the best!
