so, i share a charming little suite (in carlsbad village) with my talented friend hannah (from modern bouquet) ...one of her bridal clients wanted to host a bridesmaid luncheon for her closest girlfriends and other gals in the bridal party. long story long.....she currently lives in colorado, but her family and friends still live here in San Diego so she knew she wanted to have the luncheon for everyone when she came into town for the holidays. we had to come up with something clever...and we came up with the idea of hosting the luncheon on december 24th, christmas eve (exactly 6 months to the day of the actual wedding date). we thought it would be fun to create a festive lunch- full of girlish charm and a little bit of the Christmas spirit. who doesn’t love feminine, sweet and festive all rolled up into one? the brunch was themed around the pink bridesmaid dress that she had chosen 2 months ago, and would reveal to her friends that day. her plan was to ask each girl to be a bridesmaid at her wedding after the big reveal. a color palette of shimmery whites and soft pinks combined with traditional holiday accents for the flowers, invitations and tabletop décor. we created a mock up for her at the suite 3 weeks ago, and my other talented suite mate chelsea (from chelsea anne photography) took pictures for us to send to the bride before she came into town. all printed pieces combined a little vintage nostalgia feel with modern charm. the inspirational piece (the bridesmaid dress) is adorned with a coordinating cluster of flowers and a “will you be my bridesmaid” hang tag. each place setting is detailed with the bridesmaids name…and a personalized note written for each guest by the bride herself. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
