Professional Bridesmaid

I had been a Maid of Honor in three weddings in three years.  Let that just sink in.  I have heard all the "27 Dresses" jokes so you can go ahead and keep those.  Yes, a lot of work.  A lot of traveling.  A lot of stress and a lot of fun.

I enjoyed so many aspects of being a VIP in someone's wedding.  But I really enjoyed planning the parties.  To brag on my mad party planning skillz, I'll be throwing up some blogs on my talents.  Here is the first one...

Amanda 2007

I had absolutely no help whatsoever.  It was really ri-diculous.  

The spread...It was a tapas-type menu. 

That garden in the back was all me.  I miss!

Pink & Green is one of the bride to be's favorite color combos. 

We made Sangria the night before.  

It did not last long...I way underestimated the power of drunk fruit.  

Amanda is the one in yellow.

These were the favors.  It is a highly requested chocolate chip cookie that I make.  I put them in CD wrappers and placed the sticker on the front.  I thought they went over pretty well!

Chocolate cake for the big bang finish.  Could have done a bit better. 

 Obviously wasn't cool enough to frost yet and I didn't make enough icing...ahhh...hindsight.  I did like the color of the flowers and the green icing together, though...pretty.
