HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, friends!

vintage-inspired bridal shower

last saturday i had the pleasure of attending a girly vintage-inspired lingerie bridal shower for niece ada fay, who will be getting married this coming labor day weekend. i am honored to be in the wedding party and we are all delighted to share that memorable day with this special couple. 

the bride's cousins and friends threw her a vintage-inspired lingerie shower with an all ladies guests. with a few fun games and a lively photobooth session, it was a lovely afternoon to toast and celebrate the bride's last few days of being a beautiful single lady. jake is such a lucky guy!

a vintage-inspired bridal shower

this vintage feel for a bridal shower is so romantic and darling and i'm falling in love with it!
the talented designer and stylist behind this event is clemens from oh baby boy by clemens design. i first noticed her incredible work last year and featured her son's adorable nautical birthday party here in my blog. 

this time she appears again but for a bridal shower design evoking romance and love. from the beautiful flowers in dusty pink and white, the ruffled cake and dangling birdcages  ~ all are darling vintage-inspired  accents that are just precious! 

i still can't get over the fact that those lovely paper flower accents on the cake stands are actually coffee filters! genius way to use and create something so unexpectedly attractive out of them ~ so breathtaking!

go and visit clemens blog for more stunning photos and be on the look out for part 2 of her bridal shower blog post soon! i'm looking forward to see that too!
