Early June it was due time to give Jac (Aunt Jac) a bridal shower. She is getting married 7/30, so soon!!
She said that she would handle the favors, and that she did! She donated to Paxton's parents... What a sweet gal!
Had to get the fruit basket cake from Ettore's. It is an amazing cake, but impossible to cut cleanly... The fruit on top kept falling over, and the layers split as soon as the piece was cut, but down the hatch it went!
On all of the invites (except hers) there was a request to wear a hat. We were thinking it was going to be a hot summer day, so the hats would be fun and also functional. Well June 4th was quite a cold and rainy day. We still donned the hats, and Shirley provided one for Jac to wear with a veil on it. Super cute and an extra surprise.
This was the spread before the other hostess showed up...She brought three more salads. MMM! Quite the brunch. My favorite was the peach sangria: 1 bottle riesling, 1 bottle champagne, mint leaves, 3 cups sliced peaches, and peach schnapps to taste. We kept "tasting" and ended up using the whole bottle. (To be fair, the punch bowl was huge and I ended up using 2 bottles each of riesling and champagne. IT WAS GOOD! A perfect summery brunch, indoors! Thanks Nancy for the use of your home! Getting excited for the big day, Jac!
