Miss Li's French chic inspired bridal shower

I had the great honor of styling this bridal shower for a very good friend of mine.  Miss Li will be getting married in December.  It was quite a funny journey coming up with the concept for her bridal shower.  She really thought that I was going to throw her a hen's night with strippers etc... and well let's just say that she didn't get much sleep for the last 5 weeks!!  I know all along what I wanted to do but hey there's no harm in teasing her with ideas of what we might do!!

Anyhow back to Miss Li's bridal shower.  I decided on a french chic inspired theme with gorgeous teal and pink tones. {which Miss Li will also be using for her wedding day}


I was so super excited to meet up with my florist and ask if he could get me peonies { I had all my fingers and toes crossed} you should have seen my face when he said YES!!! I was like a little kid in a candy store!! Yay! Yay! Yay!! The peonies would be the perfect touch to the bridal shower.


We served up some delicious sweet and savory treats to the guest.  On the menu were:

Chocolate & Raspberry macarons
Lemon meringue tartlets 
Chocolate raspberry tartlets
Chocolate orange & white chocolate raspberry cupcakes
Caramel cake pops

Cannelloni bean & salmon canapes
Prawn & cucumber canapes
Chicken & avocado canapes

Homemade pink lemonade
Pink bubbles



The sweets table


The beverages table


Love!


French chic inspired cake


There is nothing more gorgeous then a cup of roses


It's all in the details


Peony love!

Miss Li knew that we were throwing her a "hen's party" but she had not idea what she was in for.  She was gobsmacked when she saw everything - her words "I'm so excited I'm hyperventilating!!"  We all had a wonderful afternoon, drinking, eating and being merry.  We played the toliet bridal dress game amongst others.  Alot of laughing through out the day. 

So looking forward to New Year's Eve!! What a way to bring in 2012 - Miss Li's wedding day.

  7. omg the green and pink teacups & saucers you didn't happen to get from a market in Kumeu? I sent a trailer load of household items to raise funds for Chch and I have a feeling I put them in - are they like pearl on the inside?
