A Whimsical Celebration of Love and Friendship

This past weekend, about 40 women gathered to celebrate the beautiful bride-to-be, Liesl, soon-to-be Mrs. Buckley, at a whimsical garden bridal shower that felt like something straight out of a dream, the picture-perfect setting centered in the heart of San Luis Obispo. The space was filled with laughter, sunshine, and sisterhood—a reflection of the radiant woman we came together to honor.

From a charming mocktail cart serving refreshing spritzes to fresh fruits, cucumber tea sandwiches, and a homemade cake crafted with love, every detail spoke to the beauty of connection and care. Between games that had everyone laughing and a bridal playlist that played classics from Elvis to Frank Sinatra, the afternoon carried a nostalgic, heartwarming energy that reminded us of the simple joys of celebrating love.

Liesl isn’t just a bride-to-be—she’s a Poshmark Ambassador II, a curator of preloved designer fashion, and one of my dearest friends. Our journeys as entrepreneurs have intertwined beautifully, supporting one another’s dreams, swapping ideas, and inspiring each other’s growth.

This celebration was more than a bridal shower — it was a reminder that women can rise together, celebrate together, and create a powerful community of connection. When women come together in genuine support, beautiful things blossom — not just love stories, but lifelong friendships, creativity, and empowerment.

Here’s to Liesl, love, laughter, and the magic that happens when women lift one another up!
