lemon bridal shower

This weekend I went to my girlfriend Christine's bridal shower.  Her wedding colors revolve around beautiful lemons brought back from her Aunt's house in California.  Her Sister's threw her a wonderful shower with lots of yellow and lemony details.

Amazing sweet potato fries and gorgonzola fries with balsamic reduction



Perfect gazpacho and the perfect wine for a middle sister (found at Target)


Yummy lemon cake

Gifts and speeches by Hosts (and Sisters) Kate and Liz


An over sized yellow balloon provided shade

Is that a Geronimo balloon? I'm sort of in love with those right now. Okay, let's talk lemons...this is my most favorite theme ever. I can't remember if I already posted this or if it's coming live this week, but I have pictures of a yellow + navy wedding party and the dessert bar is all lemon. And, the gorgonzola fries with a balsamic reduction? Where do I get that recipe because YUM!

Love this whole post and lemon idea. For me lemon yellow is a softer shade of this sunny color and for a wedding or shower worksbeautifully . . .
