{Real Parties} A Black, White & Blush Pink Bridal Shower

This beautiful bridal shower was hosted by one of the Gatewood ladies again! The bride's colors were black and blush pink, so Cindy and her friends ran with that and included a gorgeous damask print to tie in the details.

The crystal wedding tree held notecards with various wedding words on them.

A black and white candy bar was present. Here are a few samples of what they offered.

Guests wrote down their wish for Teresa on notecards that were later given to the bride.

I am not always a fan of shower games, but I truly like this one! At each place setting was a card that listed the words, "old, new, borrowed, blue". Teresa, the bride, was wearing various items of clothing and accessories and guests had to guess which ones fit each category.

Another game the group played was to guess how many blush pink jelly beans were in a jar.

The blushing bride!
