This creative Pretty In Pastel Bridal Shower was innovatively designed by Aura Decorations.  A glamorous display of colors and flowers gave the venue an elegance that the bride-to-be could adore.

The dessert stand for this party was exquisite, beautifully arranged from top to bottom.  A layered backdrop was made from sheer fabrics in white, pink and green and in front of them a white center displayed a fantastic array of giant paper flowers surrounding a golden mirror frame. A row of neon lights at the bottom offered a burst of peppy illumination.

A glass table set on giant white soft stands was used to hold the goodies, creating a simplistic and elegant look. At the back of the table on each side, massive golden cupcake stands doubled as flower vases with overflowing bouquets of pastel flowers.  A lovely three layer cake was centered at the back of the table, beautifully detailed with one layer completely frosted in adorable rosettes. It was set on a golden stand that matched the cupcake stand perfectly.

The front row of the table held all sorts of tasty goodies on elegant trays including frosted sugar cookies shaped like wedding dresses. Two mini cakes were on each side of the big one topped with giant, cute pink flowers. Frosted apples had pastel bows on them, adding to the theme sweetly.

A classic favorite activity set up at this event was a special box for everyone to put bits of marital advice in.  An ivory cover created the sweet vibe on this table. Set on an elegant table with cute gold ring confetti, this station was a beauty.  Small canvas art with photos of the happy couple were displayed as a perfect centerpiece on this table.  There was even a small candelabra, adding to the sophisticated look.

With stunning flower arrangements by NLC Productions and the innovative design skills of La Fete, this get together has a blend of natural elements that stands out and smells lovely. Vintage styled furniture and details add a charming effect that creates lasting pictures. Anna Costa Photography captured each breathtaking shot of this layout with perfection.

A wooden table with an aged look made a sweet location for beverages.  Lemonade in a large dispenser makes it simple for guests to serve themselves. Long, thin flutes offer a sophisticated look. A lovely backdrop with a massive wreath makes a fantastic centerpiece to the citrus stylings.  This wreath is decked out with lemons and is surrounded on each side with them as well.

Circular tables offer a cozy option for visiting together and blue and white vintage styled covers can add a bold touch of color that complements the flowers and lemons beautifully. Using little bouquets of flowers as bits of decoration to go on the napkins, the tables can have a charming look.

Tasty snacks to offer include favorites like lemon meringue, cupcakes frosted in white, lemon bars even fruit trays can make a sweet addition. Using blue to match the guest tables, the theme can be incorporated skillfully throughout the venue. With all of the fruit, a party with this theme can not only be a vibrant and charming event, but a sweet smelling one too.

Taking advantage of outdoor spaces will make a nice option for photographers too, especially with an abundance of greenery to accent the pictures. A sunny day can offer comfort to all who attend the party.

To invite the most special people in this bride’s life to be in her wedding, she had an innovative idea for asking them all to be part of her big day with this Berrylicious Surprise Bridal Party.  With the design skill of Stephanie Scholl Events, the entire party was an elegant and delightful gathering that every guest could easily love.

The invitations created for this party were gorgeous with blue berry art work that went down one side while an elegant font invited the guests in a soft, light tone. The light blue envelopes complemented the invites beautifully. Upon arriving at the venue each guest was given a lovely card that matched the invitations asking each one if they would be a part of the bride’s special day.  

Special gift baskets were given to everyone with all sorts of goodies included like cookies, a bottle of wine and even a bridesmaid emergency kit!

The venue used was exquisite with high ceilings and light colored walls with massive windows that provided an abundance of natural lighting. Guest tables were arranged in a long row with fantastic bronze chairs for everyone to relax on.  The centerpieces down the tables were lol arrangements of greenery and soft pink flowers amidst blue and pink candles.  The plates had a blue and white blend of tones that added a touch of charm to the look. Each place setting had a name tag, making it easy for everyone to know where to sit.

A large table was set up to hold all of the goodies for the guests and it was placed in front of a french door set-up that really added to the elegant details of this party.  Two levels made it simple to give dimension to each snack offered.  Along with the healthy berries, sweets were offered included tasty chocolate cupcakes and a lovely cake.

Every bit of this French Country Bridal Shower was delightful, from the adorable decor to the range of colors incorporated into the theme.  Say I do to Details brought this inspiring, whimsical shower to life with all sorts of creative ideas that made it one of a kind.

The invitations for the event were pure elegance with floral artwork and a soft, rounded font in pastel tones.  Centered around the picture of a dreamcatcher, it was easy to see that the theme for this party was going to be quite lovely.

With an outdoor venue, this party had all of the natural lighting that a shabby chic event should have.  To give the party a unique look, a fantastic arrangement of crates and boxes was used to display the treats rather than the commonly used buffet style approach. Surrounded on each side with beautiful floral arrangements like baby’s breath, this dessert display blended with the country theme perfectly. The crates that held the snacks were arranged in a fun ways with some standing upright and some sideways, each had a rustic vibe to it with a splash of white paint. To one side a massive dreamcatcher hung, drawing the eye with fantastic detailing. The front of this section had an adorable mini Eiffel tower in white.

The treats were absolutely delicious looking from the precisely frosted cupcakes to the decadent cake pops.  Sugar cookies were even frosted in adorable shapes like feathers. The celebratory cake was a gorgeous, layered, naked cake wrapped with greenery for a whimsical effect.

The party was full of fun activities to keep the guests involved.  One favorite was a quiz to find out how well everyone knew their wines. It had a list of wine down the side and each guest had to guess if it was a red or white wine.  Another adorable activity was a twist on the classic clothespin game called, “Put a Ring on it.” Everyone was instructed to take a ring and if they said the phrases listed out they would lose the ring and of course whoever had the most rings at the end of the party was the winner!
