A ROYAL BRIDAL SHOWER: Kristina | Mansion on Broadway

Move over Kate Middleton - Princess Kristina is coming through!

I had such a blast at Kristina's surprise "Royal" bridal shower this past weekend at the Mansion on Broadway.  Her bridesmaids and mother did an amazing job putting this celebration together and I loved all their little details (including the life size cutouts of Prince William and Prince Harry - hello!).  It was a terrific prelude to what's sure to be an amazing wedding day for Kristina and her prince to be, Matt.

 This was one of my favorite gifts Kristina received.  If you read the poem below on the card, it is a bag for each month of Kristina and Matt's first year as a married couple.  Each bag contains a surprise to be opened at the beginning of each month with something fun and new for the couple to do!  Such a cute idea!

Kristina's lovely bridesmaids (minus one for now).

 SURPRISE KRISTINA!

Kristina can't pass up a moment to lay a smooch on her prince!

Can we please talk about two things:

1)  They are just an adorable couple!

2)  How much do you love Kristina "Kate Middleton" inspired shower dress?!?!  And she totally rocks it!

While the guests were inside participating in a game which required the bride's absence, we of course took this as an opportunity for a photo shoot.

And the photo shoot fun continues, and this time, the guys come along!

A touching note from her mother brings a few tears to Kristina's eyes...

It's Bow + Ribbon hat time!

Best of luck Kristina to both you and Matt on your upcoming wedding day!  I hope it is everything you wished for and more!
