A chic friend deserves a shabby chic couple shower!

What's the best way to express your support and excitement on your friend's upcoming wedding? Throw her a surprise shower of course!

But then again, 100% surprise is a bit impossible don't you think? Because, one, I think every soon to be married girlfriend kinda expects her closest friend to throw her a shower and second, inevitably, someone that is involved in the preparation would accidentally give it away! Which is why we ended up with a semi surprised shower for our friend. But at least all she knows is the food that will be served, the rest of the party details is still a mystery to her.

We felt a 'Shabby Chic' themed shower is perfect for her as it suits her feminine and edgy side. We mixed the floral, stripe, and rustic elements together creating a beautiful, calm, and nostalgic feel to it.

Imagine a little girl having a tea party with grandma in her garden using her tea cups! And why Faith, Hope and Love? Because this is everything we wish for this couple's love to blossom into.

We decided on using her actual wedding colors, mint green, peach, and baby pink. With the collaboration with Believents, and some of her closest friends, we were able to create this charming dessert table. On it is this ombre floral cake, chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and macarons baked by yours truly. We also added some yummy pastries from Swiss Bake. I also handcrafted some 'mint to be' giveaways for everyone that attended the party.

It was indeed a celebration of love and friendship! We wish our friends Marlon and Cris nothing but the best in their married life.
