I am so happy to share this very special bridal shower to my readers today. If you haven’t seen the feature on Ever-Ours, wedding blog, please go check it out there too! I have to send out a big thanks to the lovely bridesmaids, particularly V, for their enthusiasm in putting together such a pretty bridal shower for our bride of honor.

In my post about the Long Beach Antique fair, I talked about the treasure hunt for decor for the shower. You’ll get to see here what we ended up with, and also thanks again to V, for making the trips to Anthropology to grab some additional darling pieces. V was definitely my partner in crime on this project; we had so much fun bouncing ideas off each other. She is also really creative and crafty.

The morning of the bridal shower V and Em, two of the bridesmaids, came over to work on flowers.

Our venue was Bouchon in Beverly Hills. We held the shower in the private room overlooking the Montage hotel courtyard. The sunlight was really so awesome. It wasn’t too warm that day so we were able to keep all of the patio doors open to get fresh air throughout.

Here are some detail shots for you to check out.

The welcome area with empty frames, candlesticks, the wedding date on jars, wine crates, and white paper bags with chocolate bouchons and shortbread favors.

Vintage everywhere!! Ranunculus flowers in vintage tin cans next to a vintage typewriter. Can you see the pretty bridal shower invite?

Guests were asked to leave some sage advice for the bride to be. Don’t you love this book made by V?

More vintage! Beautiful camera and some old books.

Food, glorious food! Bouchon’s famous fries in a rustic looking cone server.

The bride did not want afternoon tea for her shower, so instead we made it a butler passed canapes afternoon cocktail reception. This was really fun and relaxed with everyone just socializing amongst each other, holding a glass of wine, and just grabbing some canapes and fries.

Congrats, C! I can’t wait to share your big day soon!
