I am thrilled to feature one of my Disney Bride friends’ bridal shower! Kristin’s shower was so fun with subtle Disney nuances mixed with some of her favorite things!

Kristin headed to lunch at her favorite cozy Italian restaurant, Stefano’s Trattoria in Orlando one unsuspecting day where she was completely surprised to see 30 of her friends and family! She was the guest of honor for her surprise bridal shower!

Kristin’s mom and Maid of Honor had fluffed up the already beautiful restaurant to make it extra special and fit for a Princess. On the tables, they placed at each place setting cake in Mason jars and a Mickey glass filled with candy and specialty lip balms on a paddle from Epcot’s Canada pavilion (by “specialty” I mean “flavors” like Beaver Butt, Moose Spit, and Bear Breath!)!

For lunch, guests were given the option of eggplant parmesan, chicken marsala, or tortellini with port wine, espresso, cappuccinos, and sodas.

Kristin with Stefano himself!

A Disney themed game entertained guests between munches and sips where they matched Disney love songs with their respective movies!

Kristin’s Disney wedding is quickly approaching where she will marry her Fiancé, Geoff. Very much looking forward to seeing their wedding come to life!

Fall Apples, Birthday Dinner, and Disney Surprises

Leave a reply

My favorite thing about New England? We get to enjoy fall before everyone else it seems! It is in full swing here; cooler temperatures, spicier smells, deeper colors and I am in love!! Last weekend we embraced this along with my birthday (another reason probably why I love fall) and a few surprises along the way.

Mark took me apple picking for the first time!

Searching for the perfect apple. Or at least perfect enough for pie. Or crisp.

We have height on our team (not me) which is pretty handy while apple picking.

We left with a very full bag.

Back at home we continued the autumn love with new fall scented Yankee candles and apple crisp.

Ringo loves watching through the window the falling leaves and the squirrels on the hunt for their next nut.

Maybe someday there will be a time when my birthday is just another day but I think that will be hard with Mark by my side. He never ceases to make that day special. This year he labored over a perfect birthday dinner AND made me a cake. All from scratch. He’s amazing.

Argentinean wine and actually the brand served in the Argentina booth during Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival!

It may not be the prettiest cake, but it was filled with love and the BEST TASTING chocolate cake I’ve ever had! And look at those rainbow glow candles!

And finally, the best birthday surprise this girl could hope for; tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!

With so much happiness and excitement, it feels life for us couldn’t get any better!
