This styled shoot was inspired by a French flair and intended to showcase a classical nod to a modern bridal shower. The bride–Gabrielle Marie Surrie–has been made lifelong friends during childhood, so she decided to host a small party celebrating their friendship and upcoming wedding. The shower was intended to spoil her friends, so after they signed the guest book, they were invited to adorn themselves with jewelry and hairpieces at a Adorn Yourself station, complete with feathers, jewels, and all things sparkly. The girls then dined on decadent sweets, complete with chocolate chip ice cream, tarts, and macaroons, amongst many other sugary sweets. Gabrielle then invited her friends to feast on cake and pink champagne as they toast life, love, and laughter. After–just before opening gifts–they were invited to the Mixology station, where girls mixed their own perfume as keepsakes. The ladies then ventured into the garden for gift opening and festivities to celebrate Gabrielle’s upcoming marriage.
