bloody british birds getting pissed

a lot of energy and planning goes into goes into having fun.

we decided awhile ago that we wanted to have a "british" theme for lindsay's bachelorette.

so many great ideas -

fascinators, scones, tea, the accent, the slang, the gloves.

i wanted to give it all to linds.

so we made arrangements and started crafting.

first, i decorated a royal chalice for the bride:

a HUGE plastic wine glass found at party city.

i bought scrap booking letters and glitter

and tried to make it shine.

i also bought 8 more littler plastic wine glasses

for all the other girls to use at the wineries and to take home as a party favor.

i bought her a bachelorette sash a cirillas.

and yes, it's embarrassing to be there even if it's just for bridal items.

then, i got lucky and found little white gloves online
for everyone for only $2 a piece.
here are kass and i sporting our london look, gloves and all.

i made lindsay's fascinator first.
it was pretty easy so i decided to make mine too.

my mom and her family are from england
so we have an amazing recipe for cherry scones
and english fruit tarts.
they were a big hit with the girls.

finally, our london look was complete,

and we were ready to go.

we road-tripped to hermann,

changed into our party dresses in the parking lot of a gas station

and had the best bloody weekend ever.

england couldn't handle this.



happy bachelorette, linds!
