The Planner:

A bridal shower is a celebration a bride-to-be will remember for the rest of her life and with this styled shoot, we wanted to make it unforgettable and special. While we love all celebrations, there are no rules when it comes to a unique bridal shower. This styled shoot brought together some of the DMV’s finest vendors to celebrate the bride to be on her new chapter.

Table Styling

The theme is opulence at sea, creating a world of ocean serenity, balmy breezes, calm seas with hues of silver. 

Cake

Two-tiered inspired tropical goodness. A colourful base with gold and palm leaves brought together all the elements of a garden feel. Lovely ocean inspired cupcakes served as a favour.

Dress

The bride-to-be is into soft and bold colour palettes that show a mix of variations. Fanciful and over the top is her style. She loves to take a chance and bring her style to life.

Hair

Inspiration is everywhere. Glam by Gilda created these simple inspired Hollywood waves  fit for a queen on her special day. If it is your vision to look like royalty, this hairstyle serves as inspiration for your next hair adventure.

Makeup

The essence of the makeup was meant to be soft but glamorous in order to capture the true embodiment of soft but bold glam, something every bride craves to feel on her special day.
