I stumbled across this bridal shower a few weeks ago and I cannot let it go. Every details is downright adorable. The women who threw this bridal shower personalized every element from picking the furniture, to labeling the drinks to decorating the the numerous types of bars. It is so absolutely girly, fresh and fun without being overwhelming - I can’t imagine how a party like this could go wrong for any of your guests.

Let’s start with the numerous bars - you know I love a good themed bar at a wedding so why not incorporate them into your bridal shower too? A pinkberry bar is delicious and healthy (you are catering to all women, so having at least one healthy offering is essential) and it’s called pinkberry - how much cuter and feminine can you get? Then there is the customized scent bar. What an original idea - it adds an activity to the shower as well as a takeaway for all the guests.  And to top of all these already fabulous bars they also had a cupcake bar, my favorite. To keep with the girly theme they selected flavors such as mimosa, red velvet and petite bellini. I’ll take one of each (plus a pinkberry cup or two). Add a champagne bar and this event is my ideal bridal shower. Done and done.

A touch of hot pink is always called for. What is a better representative of shabby chic than these vintage monogram invitations in a modern color? They mix a touch of old school with a dash of current trends, the definition of a shabby chic mix. A soft design with a burst of confident color sets the tone for your shabby chic wedding guests.

I don’t know where the term ‘shabby chic’ came from but I am constantly drawn to the images that fall into this category. It’s an unrefined elegance - a combination of natural, seamlessly-careless pieces put together to make for some stunningly beautiful pictures. And it usually has a very subtle touch of country. So this week I am planning the ultimate shabby chic wedding, an easy wedding theme for those couple looking for fabulous presentation on a limited budget.

Here are a few images that would make perfect details at a shabby chic wedding, so you know what we’re looking for this week.

This wedding has so many well thought out and adorable details that I could not resist posting this Style Me Pretty wedding this week. And as I said, I’m in a particularly girly mood this week and this wedding includes so many amazing feminine details. Amazing.

I love wedding photo shoots in everyday locations. Something about the fabulously decked out bridal party in a café or subway station seems so out of place, but the juxtaposition of the two contradictory elements makes the picture more interesting. Check number one for this wedding’s amazing details.

Also, the bride is wearing bright pink ballet flats. You know I have a thing against white wedding shoes and I also love that she resisted the traditional high heel for something a bit more comfortable. Those navy blue bridesmaids’ dresses are also cut so perfectly, they’re flattering on each of her ladies. So glad to see this bride is confident enough to allow her bridesmaids to show off their good looks too.

And the chandelier studded reception? Absolutely my favorite detail.
