Autumn Entertaining: A Romantic Southern Bridal Shower with Annie Campbell - The Menu

As I shared yesterday, Annie Campbell’s bridal shower, fêting deal friend and fellow hostess Julianna, was all things romantic and feminine, with flowers galore. And the menu, inspired by the bride-to-be’s Southern roots, was equally amazing. Featuring end-of-summer California ingredients, with touches of Southern flavor and charm, it was a meal perfect for the occasion. And after all, as Annie shared, what’s more fun than a group of ladies eating fried chicken and waffles under hanging florals? See below for the menu, recipes, and all the reasons why Annie is one of my favorites for laid-back and lovely entertaining. XXJKE
