Having
known my bride for over 20 years, I have come to appreciate her love for
monograms and traditionalism. Visiting her hometown from Manhattan, it was
important that the bridal shower included her favorite little luxuries.
I
designed her bridal shower in the home to give an intimate atmosphere with
fineries such as Francis First flatware, Waterford crystal, Aynsley Pembroke
china, lace linens from Italy, antique silver vessels for flowers and touches
of gold in the chargers and chairs.
As a surprise, I monogrammed all the
Battenberg napkins with her new monogram along with a chair drape, which was
then re-created into a table runner for the newly married couple.
Antique
silver vessels were filled with garden flowers and fresh herbs.
Guests were
served beverages with monogrammed coasters during lunch, followed by coffee and tea with macaroons and desserts.
The couple has a mutual love for Polar Bears - an inside love joke of sorts between the two of them. So I dressed up these two bears and placed them at her placesetting as a surprise.
