Happily Ever After for the modern bride who loves all things beautifully feminine, wrapped up in gorgeous vintage glamour!

OMG…how absolutely devine is this Bridal Shower submission by Modern Moments Designs!!! When we received this collection we where overwhelmed. It’s one of the most stunning Bridal Showers we’ve seen so far. The most sort after bridal flowers of lush pink peonies, delicately jewelled with single diamonties and hanging teardrop crystals. Simply beautiful!

A collection of elements have been so cleverly co-ordinated & creatively styled by Jessica of Modern Moments Designs. Jessica has meticulously blended together glamour, vintage and shabby chic! Beautiful textures and an array of chevron prints successfully bring together such a beautiful theme that every bride-to-be would fall in love with.

It’s the little touches such as the diamond ring encased raspberries delicately placed on the buttery pancake stacks that really set this event apart from the rest. Every element has been so perfectly planned, designed and executed.

Event Details as described by Jessica . . .

“Wedding season is upon us and that means lots of bridal showers. My dear friend, Laura is getting married in August and her twin sister, Lindsey was in charge of throwing her a beautiful bridal shower. She started planning months prior, which is a good thing because we had a lot of work to do! I was lucky enough to help out with the designing and styling.

Lindsey took inspiration from many different places, but Paige of Paiges of Style was a huge inspiration to us all. Lindsey wanted the shower to be romantic and stylish. Her color palette included shades of gray along with pretty corals and shades of soft pink. Lindsey also wanted to include many vintage pieces to tie the theme together. We also added the chevron stripe pattern for a clean and timeless feel.

The shower was held in a terraced backyard. It was a very intimate bridal shower with 30 of Laura’s closest friends and family members. We served brunch along with many sweet pastries and desserts. The shower featured the main food table and a drink bar. Lindsey styled and designed this whole fabulous drink area. The incredible table came from a second-hand store. Lindsey, along with the help of her Mom, did an incredible job refurbishing it. It looked so amazing and to think they only bought it for $30, what a steal!

Since the party was outside, we still wanted it to feel warm and inviting. We set up several vignettes throughout including the seating area, gift station, and of course the bar. The backyard really went through a major transformation and looked so beautiful! Each table was also styled. The centerpieces were comprised of bundles of books. The mother-of-the-bride, took paper back books, removed the covers, and tied them with twine. She also incorporated scrabble tiles that said “Bride to be.” She pinned beautiful vintage broaches on them, which happen to be the broaches that will be on the bridesmaid bouquets for the wedding. We then topped the book bundles with beautiful vases full of peonies. In the center of the peonies we placed floral pins to glam them up a bit. Lastly, we we used the same flags that we used on the straws and placed those around the base of the vases. They were stunning!

Thanks to all the people who helped make this shower possible. We seriously had a whole group of people who selflessly pitched in. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. We spent countless hours cutting, gluing and making sure every detail was perfect!
