BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY BRIDAL SHOWER

Sunday proved to be a great day to celebrate the upcoming marriage of a beautiful, charismatic bride and her seemingly shy groom.

Arriving early to begin our day of decorating and celebrating, we designed this modern bridal shower with the colors of the couple’s November wedding -- using various shades of turquoise, chocolate brown and accents of cream and silver.

The shower was held in a charming clubhouse, intimately filled with some of the couple's closest family and friends. We set up several vignettes throughout -- including a cozy seating area, gift station, a personalized advice bar, and of course, the main décor and candy buffet table.

Check out the designs from this Sunday’s beautiful bridal shower. And be sure to leave a comment and let us know what you think!



Notes from the Planners: Throughout the planning process, we worked with a group of amazing bridesmaids to produce an elegant event we knew the couple would love. And because we wanted to make sure each item was personalized for the happy couple, we spent a lot of time on DIY projects for this bridal shower -- everything from the ‘shades of turquoise mobile chandelier' to the framed monograms. And of course, we also made sure we incorporated our signature designer initials…a staple in all of LMP's events.

Congratulations to the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs! May your marriage be blessed with love, joy and companionship for all the years of your lives.

Blog Feature: HECK FRIDAYS

While scouring the web for fun, and creative DIY party favors, we came across Heck Fridays, a great blog devoted to all things DIY! Created by two sisters who love to craft, create, make and bake, Joi and Erin both contribute to the blog despite being hundreds of miles away.

“Since I (Joi) live in California and Erin lives in Utah, we decided it would be so much fun to create this blog together for stay-at-home moms, working moms, single gals and married gals alike. We don't just do mommy based crafts, although there are quite a few. We try to create things that we know a wide range of people will like”.

Most of the items featured on Heck Fridays are things the sisters want or use in their own home. There are tons of crafty projects and a recipe post each week. The ladies even have a monthly giveaway. Make sure you visit their blog to see what they’re all about. We're sure even those of you that are DIY-challenged will find something even you can replicate.

Check out these adorable (and LMP's favorite) DIY projects – all created by the ladies at Heck Fridays. They’re perfect for the party planner who loves to create custom party decorations and party favors.
