Gorgeous “Five Senses Inspired” Bridal Shower

Five Sense Bridal Shower

Delicious Desserts

Tantalize your senses with this incredibly gorgeous bridal shower created by Carolyn Chen of The Special Day... Carolyn used the five senses as her inspiration for this unique shower theme. My sense of SIGHT is definitely in overdrive due to the delicious eye-candy photos alone!

From the calming aesthetic to the classic decor, every bride deserves this kind of pampering at her bridal shower. The “big day” is stressful enough, right?! The use of all-white flowers, tropical greenery and white/clear vessels and serving trays creates the same sense of serenity you might find at a spa. And then there’s the food… which could more accurately be described as “little edible masterpieces”. They are almost too pretty to eat!

Read on for more incredible photos + the mouthwatering menu details. . .

    This look amazing. I wish they sold KARMA Sparkling Wine in Texas. I have a upcoming Bridal Shower, and I am looking for something different no one has tasted or seen before.

    I’m sold. How do I get an invite to such a lavish affair? ;) Truly a great idea. Looks wonderful.

    I like the tomatoes wherein they remove its parts and filled it with food instead. Very nice!

    where did you get the plates for the deserts and foods?

  19. Chantalle February 19, 2011 at 5:49 pm

    Gray with khakis, creams, and browns is definitely one of – if not – THE most current combination (at least for me) right now. I love how even the food is coordinated for this event! …and cream/antique white roses remain my all time favorite!
