Ester's Parisian Bridal Shower

I love to plan parties, so I of course planned my shower. I am a graphic designer by trade so I designed everything from the invites, the favors, recipe cards, advice cards, framed food titles, and more. I also designed the layout, dessert table and pretty much DIY’ed the whole shower! I love collecting macron boxes, so some were used as decor. One of my favorite DIY's were that I collected hard bound books, spray painted them silver, stacked them up, tied a ribbon around them like a present and hot glued a faux peony. I tried to sprinkle Paris all across the shower, from the menu, dessert to the decor without being too obvious about it. I believe less is more. My friends, family and I had such a wonderful time, it was the perfect start to the wedding festivities!
