Made A Bridal Luncheon for Rebecca

This past weekend a group of my friends from college gathered to shower, with love and "lunching",  our sweet, Rebecca, who will be getting married just after the New Year.  It was a special day to love on Rebecca, her family and other friends who gathered.  Before we get to the food, take a peak at our setting on this beautiful fall day in Dallas.  These girls know how to pitch in and throw a shower!

Chocolate brown, burlap tablecloths covered three, 60-inch round tables outside on the patio.  Each of the three tables was uniquely set with three different place-settings, a fall-colored floral centerpiece and cookie favor.

The stunning arrangements were created by our Elizabeth who always puts so much time into flowers for our showers.  A few of us have taken on specific jobs throughout the years and I am happy to participate in the food.  So here we go…

After a little prep work on Sunday we all pitched in to put the final touches on our menu items.  B snapped a few shots of us in the kitchen.

Pastries were not to be risked by cooking on our own…love the classy monogram!

What was left of the Hawaiian Sandwiches….just enough to give the family-in-law a taste test!!
