Bridal showers are one of my favorite events leading up to the special day along with wedding dress shopping and the very FUN & CRAZY bachelorette party also of course! I had the amazing privilege to design and plan a very special bridal shower for a very detail oriented bride. One of the things that I had to make sure from the beginning of my design & planning process is the overflow of details that I know she would love - from the delicious food, fun for all of the guests in attendance and a yummy dessert buffet station. Started with the concept of using bright pinks and deep reds as the color palette that I wanted to incorporate in the party. The colorful pinwheels are one of my inspirations for this event and made a great backdrop for our dessert buffet station. We got started in making over 40+ pinwheels in different sizes to use for this backdrop. Pinwheels were super easy to make and I promise to post a DIY tutorial soon. The bride is crazy about the Turtle Chex Mix trail mix so we used those and packaged them in small mason jars topped with a plaid pink fabric as the perfect favors. Tonality Designs made the coordinating escort cards, favor tags and the cutest cupcake toppers. Lavender and Bloom created an imaginative centerpiece with the use of bird cages and birchwood branches in each table that captured the guests' eyes as soon as they sat down. A smaller manzanita tree branch was used as a centerpiece for the escort card table where guests can hang their advices/wishes for the newlyweds as they came in. The bride got the opportunity to read through some of the advices and picked out a few of her favorites where the guests received prizes.
My favorite moment was watching the bride walk around the room in so much awe at all the details that wrapped up her bridal shower. Perfect shower for such an amazing bride!
