With the crafty skill of Fleur de Lis Event Consulting, this Elegant Purple & Silver Bridal Shower was put together in style. The venue chosen for the celebration was a sophisticated and neutral room, so all of the decorations blended flawlessly giving it the elegance that was desired.

The guest table was set up family style, a large rectangle that would fit everyone comfortably. The table was set up with a stylish runner that gorgeous arrangements of purple flowers were laid-out on. Adorable glasses were placed out with swirly patterned straws that added a touch of fun to the look. The chairs were large and cozy, and the bride’s was decked out with an extra sash that said, “Bride to Be.”  Each place setting had a bold purple napkin that added an extra splash of color to the arrangement. They were folded impeccably with little cards that invited the guests to write down the things that make a good wife and a good husband. A board was even set-up in the room so everyone could post up their thoughts after writing them on the cards.

The delicious food was set-up on a buffet table that needed no cover to emphasize its elegance as it was a lovely modern cabinet with a deep finish. Each dish was sweetly labelled in a cute purple format that stood out. The edibles offered were classic delights that were sure to please including chicken salad sliders, cucumber sandwiches, and lemon curd tartlets. There was even fresh fruit offered, adding a vibrant healthy touch.

For dessert what better option could be offered than fantastic lavender frosted cupcakes? Set on a tiered tray, they stood out spectacularly in front of a huge silver star for a bit of adorable decor. The table that the treats were set on was covered in a glamorous silver, shiny cover, giving a sparkle that was very memorable.

Bridal Showers offer a perfect opportunity to celebrate a union that can last a lifetime, and this one was a wonderful tribute to that perfect feeling, Love. Using a Pink + Red Love themed idea, Brittany of Dressed In Details Events took that wonderful emotion and turned it into an elegant and colorful design that any bride-to-be could treasure.

A fantastic idea was used for the backdrop to the snack table that incorporated color and texture in a unique way. Large sheets of white, pink and red paper were cut fringe-style, adding depth to the table that was bold and fun.

The table used for hold the treats was a work of art all by itself with gorgeous vintage detailing and ornate handles. No table cloth was used, allowing the table to be showcased effectively.

Snack choices were decadently made, fantastic heart-shaped sugar cookies that said ‘love’ were put into a giant glass jar. They were sprinkled in red, blending with the theme colors perfectly. Cupcakes were topped magnificently with cascades of white frosting and topped with fitting pretty little red hearts and edible pink sticks.

There were even macarons, colored to match the venue and placed in a gorgeous clear holder. With a range of varying levels of trays and jars, all of the treats were easy to grab and well spaced apart.

A lovely little cake was created to celebrate the impending union as well. It was lavishly covered in flowered white detailing with a fantastic ‘love’ banner standing as a topper.

With other little bits of decor blending in, like calligraphy notes and sweetly arranged flowers, this venue was a sophisticatedly designed work of art. A special seating area for the happy couple was even set up to give them the full attention they deserved to have.
