Good morning! I just got back from a whirlwind trip to San Francisco. I hosted a wedding shower with two other wonderful ladies for my darling niece. I wish I could relive the quick but wonderful weekend. Every minute of it was so fun and I am really thankful I was able to make the trip. There’s a fun idea towards the end of the post if you are looking to surprise someone soon.
WHEELS UP
I took a sunset flight and got into San Francisco around 10:30 PM. My sister and I stayed at The Jay Hotel and it was lovely (in case you are looking for a hotel in SF).
THE DETAILS
We hosted the shower at Wildseed and had a nice private spot. The staff was fantastic and could not have been more lovely to work with.
I 100% failed in the photo department. I took maybe ten photos and most of them were blurry. We were busy setting up and then it was just so much fun visiting with everyone that I never took out my phone again. The invitation for the shower read, “She found her main squeeze,” so we carried through with the citrus color/theme.
This striped runner can be found here. You never know when you order online but the colors were beautiful in person. Not too bright and a lovely combination of pink and orange. And because it’s paper, it was easy to just toss at the end of the event.
My sister is very talented and designed the lemon name tags and menu! So pretty. We brought our own ribbon and just tied them on the restaurant napkins.
A LITTLE SURPRISE
I should have taken a better photo of this as well. I had everyone who was invited to the shower send me a favorite photo or two of themselves with Katie. I printed them using this printer and put them all in this brass and glass box. It was so much fun looking through all of them and it was a fun surprise for the bride to be.
It could make for a fun gift for anyone (not just brides). And this printer is wonderful. Riley and I both love printing photos. In fact we have a box on our family room table, too.
Here is a look at our coffee table with our photo box. I’ve added more photos recently and it brings us so much joy. This box is one of my favorite pieces to gift.
OUR BEAUTIFUL BRIDE TO BE
This beautiful girl is a joy to be around. She always has a smile on her face and it was so much fun to be surrounded by her darling friends. The warmth and love in the room was palpable and it was no surprise that her friends were all incredible women.
FIORELLA ON POLK STREET
That night we headed to Fiorella for an intimate dinner with just a handful of us. It was such great quality time with nieces and sister. As luck would have it, both girls are engaged at the same time so God bless my sister planning two weddings! We lingered over dinner and I didn’t want it to end. Such great conversations and time to truly catch up.
The restaurant is family style and absolutely scrumptious. I highly recommend if you are visiting San Francisco.
The next morning I hopped back on the plane and was headed home. The fastest trip ever but loved every second. And I made a bid dent in Theo of Golden. It’s so darn good.
On a random note, this is sooooo good. I used it for a about 4 days leading up to the shower and had such nice color in my dress. No color transfer, goes on like lotion without a mitt, dries in one minute and there is NO SMELL. It’s fantastic.
Off to bible study this morning. Can’t wait to be at the table with our group. Always a really wonderful way to start the day. If you missed Saturday Shopping this week it was a good one! I shared what turned my closet around as well as really cute finds for fall.
