Entertaining and Parties

Bridal shower peach pink navy and gold

It has been one amazing crazy exhausting month around here with planning a wedding, hosting a bridal shower and then hosting lots of family that stayed here during the wedding..I am pooped but so happy!

First let me start with my daughter Emily’s bridal shower it couldn’t have been more perfect! The food, decorations and most especially family and friends… We all really had such a fun evening!

The color palette is peach, pink, navy and gold. Originally we had planned to do this outside but it was so hot we decided to move it inside the house. Tutorial is here for the gorgeous Pink Puffy coffee filter garland.
My daughter Madeline, my sister Tiffany and many friends helped to make this such a special night for Emily.
Madeline created this spectacular floral arrangement using flowers from a florist as well as cuttings from around the neighborhood!
Madeline made two different lemonades… a strawberry mint and a watermelon mint that were so delicious!
I made this delicious banana naked cake that is so moist and delicious and so easy to make!
We loved using these beautiful paper products a link to Amazon is at the bottom of the post. The pink and coral napkins, gold plates and forks brought in the perfect pop of color!
We loved every minute of it and feel so blessed and thankful for everyone who helped!
Check out my recipe and how to instructions to make the super moist delicious Naked Banana Cake with “To Die For” Cream Cheese Frosting and fresh flowers on top.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
