So my big cousin is getting married this month!
So excited for her and happy I am a bridesmaid!
It's March so it sucks weather-wise but we weren't going to let 30 degree weather get us down lol

She wanted a Sex and the City theme so we did what we could and with the help of Pinterest, we had a great day. We held her shower at a community center to cut down on building costs and the space would out really well!
So the theme was "Sex and the City" so we decided on a zebra print and pink color scheme for decorations.
We went to our local Party1/Party City to get decorations and Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, and Wal-Mart for decor items (paper plates, tablecloths, forks, pink Champlain glasses, etc).
I decorated the sign in table so I decided on a zebra table cloth with touches of pink. I bought a memo board from Kirkland's and printed about 8 pictures to put on the board. It was a nice surprise for the bride and everyone really liked it.

Next my favorite part...the Food! lol
Every
bridesmaid brought a dish which I liked because there was variety for
the guests. We had chicken wings, cut sandwiches, cookies & brownies
(which were so good!), meatballs, & Rotel dip (Uh-mazing). We also had a lovely fruit tray that my mother made along with cream cheese frosting for the cake!
And speaking of Cream cheese frosting...
I must give many thanks to Pinterest and mrsjsteed's amazing cupcake cake pin that I found on there. The tutorial was easy to follow and even though mine isn't as amazing as yours, I'd like to think my mother and I did a great successful attempt! Check out the tutorial - Bridal Shower pull-apart cupcake cake.
And the C and R cupcakes stand for the Soon-to-be Candice Reed! I bought the wrappers from Hobby Lobby and made a variety of chocolate, strawberry, and yellow cupcakes!

To go with the Sex and the City theme, the bride to be decided to have a little show! Instead of a fashion show, we had the "Baddest Heels in Clarksville."
Those who had heels got to model them on the stage and my cousin Curtis
was the judge.
Notice the shoes in the middle...yeah she decided to jump in with her "heels" on or Skippies as my aunt calls them lol
We had a first, second, and third place for the Baddest Heels Show.
Thanks ladies!

It was a great shower that I know the bride and guests enjoyed very much. I just wanted to especially thank the Maid of Honor who put the bridal shower together!
We had a wonderful time and I think all the ladies (plus 2 guys) enjoyed themselves!
Thanks for reading!
