an ombre couples wedding shower

My cousin is getting married in a few weeks so my sisters and I threw her and our cousin-in-law-to-be a couples shower to celebrate.

My job is always the invitations and I had fun with these. I went with my current love of ombre and silhouettes and put them together to create these simple, modern, summery invites.

Decorations were pretty simple for the party.

An ombre garland {tutorial coming Wednesday}:

a print and old letter cards:

assorted blue and green ribbons tied to champagne glasses:

set out on an ombre tray from Target

cupcakes with flags made from paint chips and toothpicks

and the most adorable ombre tiered cake made by Kara at The Sweet Side bakery. One layer of carrot cake, one layer of white with raspberry filling. Delish.

I went to high school with Kara and adore that she is pursuing her love of baking.

Come back wednesday to learn how to make a very simple and free ombre garland!
