“Planning and designing my own bridal shower was a total dream. I got to create exactly what I envisioned and wanted to do with my dearest friends.”

“First, start with what inspires you the most and expand on that or hire a planner/designer to do that for you.”

“Then research and create a vision board. Make sure all your elements are aligned and make sure to create an experience for your guests.”

“From finding a peacock chair in another city to knitting the macramé curtain with my mom to creating a feast with food, sweets, flowers, feathers and drinks, it all came to reality.”

Having started her career working for a florist during college, Jaleh prioritized gorgeous florals at her shower.

The bride-to-be and guests all dressed to fit the theme.

A few small details, like these champagne bottles tied with straws, will delight your guests.

“Last, if you choose to do it all by yourself, make sure to have an awesome support group so you can delegate tasks to your family members or friends. Nothing awesome happens by one person alone!”

Consider hiring a photographer or even designating a friend to capture the special moments.

“Tracey Ayton gave me the privilege of capturing these precious moments, all the little details and all the candid shots of us being us.”
