The front of Ooh La Lolly from Anderson's Main Street
How the girls found this place was kind of a funny story. My Maid of Honor, Laura, knew she wanted to host of Holiday Shower right before the end of school, but hadn't quite found a place that was ..."Me"... So another one of my Bridesmaids, Amanda, randomly went to lunch with one of her co-workers at Ooh La Lolly. She walked in and immediately thought that this place was super cute. Claiming to be "a little bit of Paris...a little bit of Anderson..." Amanda knew I would love it since my fiance and I had studied abroad together in France two summers ago. However it wasn't until she talked to the owner, and realized that she too was a Theta, that she knew having the shower here was destiny. Three days later the girls went back for Lunch, and set the date!
A view through the Tea Room of all the vintage wedding gowns hung about for the occasion!
The Venue was perfect, and was transformed into a Wedding Winter Wonderland for the shower, complete with vintage Wedding dresses and veils hung in the windows and all around the restaurant. Thirty~five of my sorority sisters, mom and two best friends from high school were able to enjoy the fantastic food including a selection of petite sandwiches, petit fors, chocolate covered strawberries, scones, quiches and their own specialty spiced tea, that was perfect for this late afternoon tea.
Sampling of the foods!
Also, each of the guest were sent home with a drink koozie with the phrase "These aren't Jingle Bells, They're Wedding Bells" printed on them and filled with mint Hershey kisses! I thought the idea of giving all the guests a little something to remember the occasion was such a great idea, and Koozies are one of my favorite things!
Myself, and the wonderful hosts: Laura, Meredith, Melissa, Kate, and Amanda behind the wedding dress gift table!
Before I head out for the evening, I just wanted to thank my wonderful friends and sisters, Laura, Meredith, Melissa, Kate, and Amanda for all they're hard work they put into throwing me a fantastic shower that I'll always remember! Theta Love!
