I have been just giddy over the decorations for my friend's bridal shower,
but she's one of my loyal followers, so I couldn't really post anything as I made it.
While the bridesmaids discussed what kinds of decorations to go with,
I searched Pinterest for inspiration, keeping the bride in mind.
I knew I had found what I was looking for when I came across re-purposed book pages.
The bride is an avid reader and I loved all the book page flowers + pinwheels I saw.
The shower was outside at relative's lakeside home,
and thankfully the rain held off, while the sun didn't get too intense.
As you can see from the photos, it was lovely setting indeed
and our handmade decorations gave it a personal touch.
