Shower Her With Love - Wedding Shower Buffet

Such a wonderful time when friends and relatives

can gather together to

 shower someone with love

 in preparation for their upcoming wedding.

I love to prepare a beautiful tablescape for a buffet on my 

kitchen counter.

We are throwing a shower for my niece Danielle

and her fiance Justin.

Her mother, Kim, found these wonderful 

paper parasols on-line and hand painted

and decorated them with glitter and

jewels and they are the inspiration 

for our tablescape today.

Of course we need lovely flowers, and

White roses and lilies are the

flowers of choice for this bridal shower.

Everything is underpinned with

 jeweled tulle 

that I used at my oldest daughter's

wedding 9 years ago.

The tulle anchors everything and gives

such a lovely softness.

Two love birds nestle under glass.

They are surrounded by roses and lilies.

A perfect white rose, is there anything

more exquisite?

This is all about sparkle and shine.

There is also plenty of bling.

A wedding gives a girl a chance

to be a princess, so I threw in 

some crowned mercury glass bottles.

The fun initials were done by her 

mother also.  They were decoupaged

and bejeweled.

So many pretty things to

enchant the eye.

Pure white is always beautiful for

a happy celebration like this.

Pure white candles with a double

row of diamonds.

Plates start out the buffet and bubble

glasses and silverware

 are at the opposite end of the buffet.

Food will be placed in front of the

display and nestled in the tulle.

I love this little crown stoppered

bottle nestled in the tulle.

I just love the custom touches her mother

 made to the paper parasols.  These are 

definitely the stars of the tablescape.

The good silverplate perfectly

complements this elegant tablescape.

One final look  down the buffet line.

What a perfect way to celebrate the

joining of two lives.

I know Danielle felt showered with love.

I will be posting this with
