The inspiration behind this bridal shower design was the idea of ethereal romance, understated elegance, and an effortless experience for bride Mikaela and her best girlfriends! Beautiful pops of color, including peach, coral, pinks, and greens were incorporated in a classic and elegant design.
This proper high tea had each of the girls in couture gowns, tulle and lace gloves, and - of course - fascinator hats. The shower inspo included treats such as fresh oysters, caviar blini, and crostini, as well as forever classic French macarons, petit fours, scones, clotted cream, fresh fruit, jam, and finger sandwiches.
Some of the most special details for Mikaela and her friends were the bespoke note cookies with an edible wax seal featuring an M monogram crest for the bride. These were placed at each place setting and served as "love notes" from Mikaela to her friends.
