I have been obsessed with the royal wedding. Shortly after Will and Kate announced their engagement and wedding date, I began brainstorming ideas on how to celebrate this momentous event! Before you think I may have completely lost my mind, I must say that I feel I have a duty and right to obsess over anything royal, being that I married into such an English family. :) I ultimately decided on a royal wedding brunch and then went to planning (and shopping)...Because of the time difference, the wedding coverage began on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. HST. I recorded the wedding events with every intention of waiting until Friday morning to watch it with everyone else over brunch. I was just SO excited that I had to stay awake to watch it live. :) Regardless, the brunch was a success, with 16 ladies in attendance! Note: Please excuse the blurry photos...I recently dropped my camera and messed up the lens. :(
I borrowed this super cute chalkboard from a friend to decorate my front entry. I also bought tiaras for each guest!
There were pictures of the royal couple all over the house.
I made "wedding cupcakes", complete with buttercream roses! Thank you cake decorating class that I thought I would never actually use! ;)
Closeup of my buttercream roses...can you tell I'm proud???
I tried making strawberry basil scones for the first time...I have no idea what scones are supposed to taste like so I don't know if these were any good. The flavors were good together, though!
Our amazing brunch spread! Each guest brought a dish to share...so yummy!
We had several beverages to choose from...mimosas, wedding punch, and hot tea, of course!
Some of the ladies, enjoying the royal wedding!

Whether you still get goosebumps (like I do) or are just sick of hearing about it...William and Kate's wedding is something to be celebrated! A few girls at brunch had a good point...with all the negative in the world right now, it sure was nice to turn on our TV's to something so positive and beautiful! Congrats, Will and Kate! :)
