My Pink Bridal Shower

I’ve loved pink for as long as I can remember, so when it came to planning my bridal shower the theme was a no-brainer. I’ve planned events through Pink the Town and I also work in PR, so planning events is one of my favourite things to do. I’ve worked with so many amazing vendors throughout the years and I couldn’t wait to work with them for my shower! For the wedding I had to be a bit more restrained on the pink decor (for the sake of my fiancé), but for my shower I could go as pink-crazy as I wanted. Challenge accepted.

...

I wanted the shower to be fun and beautiful, with pops of pink throughout. I also wanted to add in some personal touches. That’s what made me come up with the “Pin The Kiss on the 90’s Heartthrob” game. I use to have all of these posters hanging in my room when I was a teenager. This game was so nostalgic and a huge hit! I have a video of my 91 year old Granny pinning kisses on the 90’s crushes that I will cherish forever. The music was a mix of 90’s pop hits and girly old school classics like The Supremes. One of my bridesmaids actually made my shower cake! I can’t believe how amazing it turned out. She doesn’t even do this for a living and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. What’s a shower without some bubbly and sweets? I loved the combination of the Mimosa Bar and Candy Bar together. The DIY Mimosa Bar was definitely a highlight for me.

Flower Maiden created stunning floral arrangements in glossy bags for the centerpieces, which we attached to the balloons to help weigh them down. Cecile Lau Calligraphy worked her magic on the signage. She always amazes me with how she can make my crazy ideas come to life – exactly how I dreamed them in my mind. She really does the most beautiful work. AG Macarons put together a macaron tower and also created little “Thank You” gift boxes for each place setting. The guests loved it! The delicious candies were provided by Squish Candies. I love their selection of bridal-themed candy – the Prosecco Gummy Bears are my personal favourite.

CB2 provided this beautiful acrylic easel. If you’ve ever tried to find a pretty easel then you will know how difficult it is. Most are black or wood and just wouldn’t have fit with my theme. This clear one is perfect!

My Mom and sister planned some really fun games, including this one below where guests have to guess which kitchen item is in the bag that matches the letter of my new last name. We also played this at my bachelorette party, but instead of kitchen items it was items from the stag shop 🙂

O.P.I. provided adorable pink nail polishes for each guest to take home, which my Mom and I covered in tulle and attached a bow with a pink glitter heart. 

I loved this “Who got the groom” game. There’s a link to the print out and instructions at the bottom of this post. My Groomie definitely fit right in with all of the heartthrobs 😉

I picked the Disney Love Songs game because I’ve always been a fan of Disney movies. Everyone really liked this one. It was surprisingly quite challenging!

Special thanks to my amazing bridesmaids (minus 1 of my bridesmaids who lives in Costa Rica and couldn’t make it to the shower), and my mom who helped me plan this incredible day! It was seriously a dream. We had a blast planning it all and putting together all of the special details.

Sugargirlee & Co created the most amazing pink balloon garland to hang above the sweets table and mimosa bar. They also did oversized balloons with special wording on them for the centrepieces. You can pick any wording you’d like!

My amazing friend Nina from Shic Pic Photography shot all of these photos. She is so incredibly talented. I’ve featured some of her work on my blog before. She can do it all – weddings, engagements, babies/family, events, etc. etc. She also shot the video at the end of this post, just super quickly at the event between taking photos and it turned out so good! She’s seriously a jack of all trades. If you ever need photography for any reason, you must contact her!

My incredibly handsome Groomie 🙂

My cute as a button niece and flower girl. I can’t handle how adorable she is. These curls in her hair are all natural. Just love her to pieces. I bought her this pink dress almost a year ago, so I was super happy that it still fit her! haha She’s growing like a weed! She is still talking about “Auntie’s shower”  months later. She’s never been to a wedding, so I can’t wait to see her reaction to that! 

I kicked off all of my planning with the most perfect invites from Minted. If you’ve never experienced buying something from Minted, you must. Their attention to detail and incredible customer service is unlike anything else I’ve experience.  Everything from the packaging, to the contents inside the box, to the items I picked out were perfection. No matter your theme or occasion, they have the perfect invite for it. Seriously. The selection is insane. When I first saw these pink wedding dress invites with rose gold foil my jaw dropped. They were even more beautiful in person. Even the envelopes were stunning!

As I look back on the photos and video I love how everything turned out! It’s a day I will truly cherish forever. The perfect day spent sipping bubbly surrounded by all of the ladies who mean the most to me in this world. What could be better than that?

Keep these amazing vendors in mind for your future events:
