You might have seen this recent ice cream social bridal shower shoot that we did for the August issue of Best Wedding Sites magazine. We styled this shoot using a pink, purple, and gray color palette. We styled a drink station, a dessert table, and a table scape.
We used frozen blackberries in the glasses, instead of ice, to add a touch of purple to the light pink glasses.
The dessert table held various ice cream themed desserts including ice cream cone shaped cookies, ice cream cone cake pops, banana split bites, chocolate covered cherries, strawberry milkshakes, strawberry oreos, a custom made vanilla butter cream cake, and vintage candy jars filled with marshmallows, strawberry whopper candies, and waffle cones.
If you can't tell...the custom made cake was designed to look like a Ben & Jerry's ice cream carton, instead using the names of the bride and groom.
We made custom stamped napkins to fit in with the theme of the event. We also featured a tutorial on how to make your own for the magazine post too!
The table scape featured quilted gray and white linens, vintage cream colored ceramic plates, ice cream spoons, vintage ice cream sundae cups, and centerpieces filled with pink and purple flowers.
The favors were placed at each guests plate. The brown boxes were tied with light pink ribbon and a tag hung from each box that read "Life Is Short, Eat Dessert First!" Little stacks of french vanilla macaroons, filled with purple vanilla cream were in each favor box.
Surrounding the tables were silver chiavari chairs. To create the unique weaved effect on the backs of the chairs we used silver chair ties, weaved through the chair backs.
What a fun theme to use when planning a bridal shower! Find the full post and tutorial on the Best Wedding Sites Website. We worked with a handful of GREAT vendors to make this shoot possible. A big thank you goes out to them!!
