There are so many photos of Katie’s shower that I’m breaking them down into categories. The first set I’ll be sharing are the preparations and decorating for the fun event. My nieces and sister Lana were the official shower planners.
My niece Debbee and Melissa baked the cupcakes and made the icing for them.
Debbee and Melissa had the flower decorating technique down for the cupcakes and showed Laura, Michelle and Katie the method and everyone chipped in to get all the cupcakes decorated.
They used the Wilton Tip #104 for these flowers. It’s a petal tip.
The colors for the shower and Katie and Andrew’s wedding are purple, silver and cream.
My niece Michelle took this photo and the one above it…
My sister Lana provided the salads and the beautiful flowers.
Thank you to Michelle for these two photos of Katie at the table, too.
My mom, Katie’s Baba, made the meat and cabbage pirog.
We had a fun afternoon preparing for the shower. The shoes Katie is wearing were her grandmother Verna’s.
Tomorrow I’ll show more photos of friends and family who attended the shower. Hope your day is going well. We have sunshine and clear, clear, blue skies here in the Seattle area. We’ll be barbecuing dinner tonight!

What beautiful foods and a beautiful bride (and friends).
I’m so glad that you have the time to enjoy this wonderful time with Kate and your family and nieces. What else can one say, except that they have all obviously inherited some decorating skills from you.
Beauty all around. Gorgeous colors….LOVE the dress Katie is wearing, those flowers so perfect and Katie bears the beauty that runs deep! Ellen thanks for honoring me with the privilege to pray. You are such a joy in my life.
Beautiful decorations and flowers. Beautiful dress. Beautiful bride.
Everything looks perfect…Katie must feel the affection from you all as she looks at how hard you’ve worked to make her day special! Her outfit is adorable, right down to grandma’s shoes! Is the recipe for the salad on your cooking site anywhere…the ingredients look interesting.
Lovely table, lovely food, lovely bride…. and loving family! What a special day for you all! 🙂
Showers are always so special – your family has blessed Katie with the time taken to make it unforgettable. Andrew will love to see these pictures of his beautiful Katie.
You have successfully made me hungry for a cupcake! Divine! Congrats again to such a beautiful bride.
Warm and wonderful! How I wish I’d sisters, or some females in my family. 😉 I look forward to the sequels of Katie’s Wedding Shower. 😉
Every detail looks perfect, and she is a beautiful girl.
Oh sweetness and pretty bride to be……showers of love and blessing for your dear Katie!
Looks like lots of fun was had by all. The food looks wonderful!
Lovely! and Katie looks adorable..
Katie looks lovely – what a sweet thing to do….wearing her Grandmother’s shoes!
What a lovely setting! Katie is so sweet wearing her Grandmother’s shoes… a girl who treasures things of the past will never go wrong. 🙂
What a sweet blessing everyone is to do this for Katie. I love that she’s wearing her Grandmother’s shoes.
