Happy Monday, y’all! We’re home from the SC Ride4Life a little more tired than before but our hearts are so full. There is something so telling about men and women riding 300 miles for life because “one is too many.” I will share more about the ride tomorrow but today I’m finally getting around to share the rustic bridal shower I threw for one of my oldest friends, Kristen, last weekend. Burlap, chalkboards, & old lanterns- can it get any more rustic?

The beautiful bride-to-be!
Thanks to the hubs for this awesome chalkboard!
UPDATE: A full tutorial on the DIY chalkboards can be found here.
First time getting flowers from Trader Joe’s and they rock!
Kristen’s face, y’all!
The bridesmaids minus Crystal.
I’m so blessed to have a friend like Kristen in my life and was privileged to get to throw her a wedding shower before her big day.
Looks so lovely. I love the rustic simple looks. That cake is so beautiful too!!!

Okay, you NAILED this shower! It’s absolutely stunning!
Thank you! I was so happy with how it all turned out!
I love this! I have to ask though, did y’all make that burlap runner yourselves? I was just looking at the neat edge around it and wondering if you stitched it yourself or if you were able to find one premade.
Thanks, love! Actually, they came from Walmart. Can you believe it???
Girl, you did a fabulous job with this shower! I adore all of the rustic décor! And I love your pants/skirt that your wearing! So pretty!
