Laura and Tom's Fairy Tale

This past weekend, I joined with my mom, Katie, and my grandma to throw a shower for Laura. Laura and Tom are getting married this June (where Meredith and Jillian will be two of the sweetest flower girls you ever did see!) - and although they live in Boston, Laura was here this weekend, so we took the opportunity to celebrate their upcoming wedding! Laura is an avid reader so we were excited to do a book theme for the shower. We had a blast making the theme come together - Katie found these great invites that looked like library book pockets and we also found lots of inspiration on Pinterest for decorations!
The table - full of yummy food (including the bride's special request: pizza!)
One of our Pinterest crafts - book page hearts hanging from the chandelier
We also hung whole book pages and flowers made from book pages on the windows and laid them on tables
Katie and I crafted this one on our own - we cut out a wreath shape and added crumpled book pages and bright ribbon - it was a great addition to the doors
My mom and Katie tirelessly wrapped books in paper and then we added the paper flowers to vases for decoration
Katie's pet project was the mantle - she did a great job displaying Harry Potter and our flowers, too!
Another friend ordered this fantastic and yummy cake and it fit right in!
The hostesses, the bride, and the mother of the bride!
Victoria is living in NYC now, so she couldn't be with us, but we skyped her in for a bit!
