Well our celebration for the happy couple was an absolute blast. Here are a few pics from the big bash.
First, I’d like to introduce you to the other two besties, Marie Elizabeth (far left) and Rachel (far right). We were the hosts of this big party and it was so much fun. Marie Elizabeth and Rachel, who both had beautiful weddings in the last few years will be popping onto The Bride and Her Bestie every so often to share their words of wisdoms. Love them!
Then we have a pic of our pretty table. I’m so glad we went with this easy menu. It was a total hit.
We were so excited that Joanna’s parents and Brad’s mom were able to make it to the party to celebrate with us.
But one of the greatest moments of the night was when matchmaker/best man, Nate gave Joanna and Brad, bride and groom pez despensers. Nate is a huge collector and it was an adorable gift they will treasure forever.
Yay for a faboulous party. Now on with more wedding planning!

It’s just a few hours till party time but here is a sneak peek into the craziness of my kitchen last night. Brownies, chili, pizza (for watching Greys)! It was NUTS but so much FUN! More pics to come of the big event. Happy weekend!

To celebrate the big engagement, I am doing what every bestie should and throwing an engagement party at my casa for the happy couple. But this classy yet casual affair is not just my doing, the other bestie, Rachel and Marie Elizabeth (you’ll hear their names alot, we’re all besties), are hosting it with me. Even though its a low key party with just a few of our friends and family, we’re all about it! I set a color scheme the other day by heading to our local party store and finding the adorable black and white napkins (top left). Then paired it with a bright color I thought Joanna and Brad would like.
This is going to be quite the shindig. I’m off to the store to stock up on the yummy food for tomorrow’s bash! On the menu, chili and brownies…perfect for a crisp Iowa night!
