If you’re looking for a chic new party theme for an upcoming shower or special event – check out this stylish & colorful “Turn of the Century, Art Nouveau Parisian” theme created by Kerri Butler for her friend’s bridal shower soirée. Inspired by the bride’s plans for honeymooning in Paris, Kerri used bright, rich colors, silk brocades, jewels, paper parasols, and gold leaf papers to communicate the luxury of that era!

THE DETAILS {by party hostess, Kerri}…

Bridal Shower for Megan Heinrich
hosted by Kerri Butler, Eventive

Location: The Dallas Arboretum

Invitations: Invitations were handmade with gold leafed papers (purchased at Michael’s), art nouveau images, jewels, and gold thread attached to sandalwood fans, that were purchased at Oriental Trading Company. The invites were mailed in envelopes covered in French postage stamps purchased at Michael’s.

Décor: Brocade and silk fabrics (purchased at Joann) covered the tables. I created the flowers arrangements from bouquets I bought at Costco, and urns from Michael’s. Flowers included orange roses, pink starburst chrysanthemums, and berry filler.

Favors: Bright, paper parasols, purchased from www.asianideas.com

Food: The lunch was provided by the DeGoyer Mansion Café.

Games: Guests signed in on a scrapbook page to “Shower Megan with Congratulations”. We also played “Who knows the Bride Best?”, and “Purse Power”.

Cake: The cake was raspberry chocolate with a butter cream frosting provided by Panini Bakery in Dallas.
