Brynn & Shannon's Wedding Shower

Beau and I hosted a couple's wedding shower for his sister, Brynn, and her fiance, Shannon, this weekend at their home in Missouri.  We absolutely love this couple!  Brynn and I have been friends for almost 15 years, have become especially close the last 6 or 7 years, and I will be serving as the matron of honor in her wedding!  Beau and Shannon met chuck wagon racing a few years ago, and have been great friends ever since.  Beau will be standing with Shannon as his best man.  We love to credit ourselves with getting these two together!

My sweet husband contributing to the pre-shower cooking.  He makes a great 7-layer dip.  Look how perfect that is!

I was kind of proud of my decorating!  I found several great ideas on Pinterest and actually planned ahead for once!  I think it all turned out really cute. 

 
Alli made this super cute tin for Brynn. I LOVE it!
The dessert table. Danielle, a friend from Beau's work, made the cookies. They were sooooo cute! My mom made the cake. She is just amazing!

After the shower, we hosted Bachelor/Bachelorette parties.  Our groups parted ways and headed to some country western bars in Springfield, MO.  Good friends, drinks, and live music always leads to a great night!  
One of Brynn's requests for her night on the town was that everyone wear a "poof".....the bigger the hair, the better.  This was great for me, because I usually wear my hair on top of my head in a big mess anyway.  This was a little bigger than what I anticipated, but I loved it!

Beau and I before we parted ways for the night.  He is such a handsome cowboy!  Notice that my hair is almost as tall as his hat!!  :) 

This was our first couple's shower to host, and I think it turned out great.  We could not have done it without the help of Brynn's other bridesmaids.  It was a beautiful shower for a beautiful couple.  We are really looking forward to their wedding!!  Congratulations Brynn and Shannon!  We love you!
