Gorgeous “Five Senses Inspired” Bridal Shower
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. . .
PARTY DETAILS from Carolyn…
The theme was inspired by the five senses…
1. Sight – beautiful decor & eye candy
2. Sound – they had fun music playing in the background the whole event!
3. Touch – all different sorts of textures with the linens, etc
4. Taste – the delicious menu, fit for a foodie!
5. Smell – guests were able to create custom perfumes as their favor at the scent station created by Kamilyin!

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 adore this shower!! Everything is amazing, but my favorite is definitely the scent station. I wish Kamilyin were on the East Coast!

GOR-GEOUS! So perfect!
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!
I was a guest at this gorgeous shower, and Carolyn did an amazing job ~ truly scent~sational~!! ;-)
where did you get the plates for the deserts and foods?
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!
