Wedding Wednesday: My Floral Themed Bridal Shower

Happy Wedding Wednesday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m finally sharing all the details on my floral themed bridal shower at The White Magnolia! My bridal shower was everything I had ever envisioned and more thanks to the amazing work of Angela Marie Events. The whole idea stemmed from a work trip that I attended last year at the MacKenzie-Childs headquarters in Aurora, New York where we took pottery painting classes, floral arranging classes and even learned how to make flower crowns. It was so much fun learning something new and getting to be creative while clearing my mind and enjoying snacks and rosé. I feel like that’s something we forget to do as adults. We get so caught up with work and daily life that we forget to take time for ourselves and create beautiful things just because we want to and not because we have to. I loved the classes so much that I wanted to re-create the experience for my friends and what better time to do something new with your friends than when you have them all in the same place at the same time at your bridal shower.

Angela loved the idea and put together the most beautiful floral themed shower that I’ve ever seen. The whole shower was perfect down to every little detail from the dreamy invitations and vintage plates to the elegant, barn-style venue and the stunning floral centerpieces that literally cascaded over the tabletops. Not to mention the fact that Poppy & Mint provided us with most exquisite selection of flowers to decorate our crowns with, which we wore the whole shower. In addition to the refreshing cocktails and arts and crafts, my friends know that I would never associate myself with a party that didn’t serve plenty of delicious appetizers and desserts. In fact, for dessert, we served three different cake flavors because why have vanilla, when you can have carrot, lemon and strawberry!

Outfit: Lace Maxi Dress <—SALE Alert! (I love this dress too!) | Y-Necklace, Keely Stud Earrings in Rose Gold & Adjustable Chain Bracelet c/o Kendra Scott | Flowerbomb Bloom perfume by Viktor & Rolf | Similar Mule Sandals

Last but not least, I sent each guest home with a pretty pink bottle of Flowerbomb Bloom perfume by Viktor & Rolf to serve as a little reminder of our fun, floral-themed day together. I made sure to keep a bottle for myself which I spritzed on just before the party started. The sweet floral scent complemented my lace, open shoulder dress perfectly.

After the shower, my grandmother told me that I should have just gotten married that, day because it was the most beautiful event that she’s ever seen.

Where to Find Top Bridal Looks for Less!

May 15, 2018

Hey everyone, as most of you know, I just got married this past March and I actually had two ceremonies, which meant double the amount of white dresses. Once all of the wedding festivities were over, I found myself wondering what to do with all of my white gowns and bridal accessories that I’ll never get the chance to wear again. In fact, I didn’t even get around to wearing a couple of them. I had so many of my newly-engaged blog readers and Instagram followers ask me if I’d be willing to sell any of my gently used white dresses since they were in the market for some new ones for parties and showers. Fortunately, I was able to help a few of them out, but I was still left with all the high end pieces that needed new homes, but very specific owners. Also, I wanted to sell them in safe environment for both the buyer and the seller so that we’re both protected. So I realized the best place to sell them is on eBay where plenty of other brides have listed their gowns and accessories and buyers can search their exact sizes and specific brands or styles. It’s the perfect places for newly married women to list their gently worn bridal gowns and accessories that they’ll never wear again, which means it’s also the perfect place for newly engaged gals to search for white dresses by top name brands like BHLDN and Adrianna Papell at amazing prices.

Speaking of Adrianna Papell, I love this White Beaded Gown for a rehearsal dinner or fancy engagement party. Also, I’ll be listing a couple of my BHLDN gowns on eBay for you brides-to-be like the one I styled in today’s blog post. It’s perfect for the boho bride to wear to a shower, rehearsal dinner or even welcome party.

It’s always safe to start with eBay because they guarantee price match, delivery or your money back, which is so important when it comes to purchasing top quality items that you might be wearing on one of the most important days of your life.

Additionally, tons of ladies list their “only worn once” bridesmaids dresses on eBay too so I highly suggest checking eBay first when it comes to bridesmaids dress shopping especially if you get to choose your own gown. They have tons of beautiful options in a variety of sizes and prices to fit everyone‘s needs.

The Sofft Somers Slide is hands down, the best travel sneaker! I wear them every time I travel and I always get the new colors it comes in each season because that’s how much I love and use them.
The Metallic Slide is so on trend for this spring and summer. I’m sure you’ve seen mule slides everywhere lately and this trend is definitely here to stay because they’re so practical and this Sofft pair is so comfortable. Plus they look so effortlessly chic and flattering on the feet.
The Embroidered Sneaker is so adorable for summer and perfect for Mexico!

How perfect are these embroidered sneakers for Mexico?
