Pink & Purple Wedding Inspiration

With the big wedding around the corner we're sharing the lovely couple's color palette for their big day.  It's a beautiful combination of blush, pink, & purple.  The ceremony will feature a bolder pink and purple combination, while the reception will play with softer hues like blush and feature plenty of romantic candle light.  Can't wait for the festive weekend ahead and to celebrate the beautiful couple.

Soiree :: Breakfast at Tiffany's Bridal Shower

This past weekend I was lucky enough to help throw a Breakfast at Tiffany's themed bridal shower for a friend.  We carried out the theme in the food, decor and with the little details which included: a Tiffany Box cake, lush florals, and Tiffany themed centerpieces: which included quotes from the movie and real Tiffany boxed with faux crystals.   The cake and cookies were ordered from a bakery in the suburbs, the flowers were ordered from Chicago Flower Company and designed by one of the co-hosts, we set up a Bellini bar, and catered most of the food from Birchwood Cafe.  We gifted the bride-to-be with a book of recipes, one from each guest, as she is a foodie.  For added ambiance we displayed a huge framed Breakfast at Tiffany's movie poster, had the movie silently playing in the background, and set up a Tiffany Box step-and-repeat complete with tiaras, pearls, and boas as props.  The favors were Frango mints in replica Tiffany Boxes, and displayed alongside the LOVE letters we featured here yesterday.
