Bridal Shower: Big, British Floppy Hats!

I knew my bridal shower was going to be awesome because people (read:  my mom) kept telling me how much work they were putting into it.  My mom is the type to go above and beyond anyway, and she's a teacher, so she has the summers completely free.  Thus, I knew it would be special.

I feel bad for how rushed I made my bridal shower and bachelorette party.  I had exactly 2 hours for my bridal shower while in Southern California, not the most to work with.  Still, my mom and MOH did a fantastic job.

My biggest request for that day was to have no idea what was going on, except for the when since I had to catch a plane.  I wanted nothing to do with the planning.  My only additional request was that I thought a British tea style bridal shower would be pretty cool.

Boy, did they deliver!

I know rather more about British tea traditions than most Americans having lived in England for a semester, and the place they chose was certainly authentic.  Scones, clotted cream, jam, and lemon pudding with finger sandwiches and cute little desserts and of course 3 kinds tea.  It was super tasty.

They also had 2 big tea partyish hats for me which was pretty cool.

Please excuse the sunburn I have in all of these photos.  I had just gotten back from Catalina an hour before.
