Once Chris and I started planning our wedding, I immediately knew that I wanted to do something fabulous<\/em> for my bridesmaids. Bridesmaids spend time, money & effort so that your wedding, and all of the planning around it, is seamless, stress-free and ahhhmazing! I planned a weekend all about showering my bridesmaids with love and gifts – the more champagne the better! Read below about how I proposed to my bridesmaids –<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Invitations<\/span><\/h2>\n

I sent invitations via Paperless Post<\/a>. While I wanted to make the entire weekend a surprise, it is incredibly difficult to get all of my friends together for one week – one is always traveling for work or out of town. So I sent out invites so everyone was able to plan and get excited for a bridesmaid celebration!!<\/p>\n

I sent this “BFF” card to my\u00a07 besties<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I sent this special card to my\u00a0sister and MOH <3<\/p>\n

We had THE BEST time at Frenchie<\/a>! The incredible Orly Khon<\/a> designed absolutely stunning florals for the event. You will seriously swoon over the photos below – she is so talented!! You can’t really see but I printed out photos and attached them to blush balloons! I wanted to make the room look festive while also taking everyone down memory lane. Everyone loved this idea & I highly recommend you do this!!<\/p>\n

I placed mini Jo Malone London<\/a> candles in “Peony and Blush Suede,” aka the best scent of all time, at everyone’s seat and the wonderful Kara from Mad for Mod<\/a>\u00a0created place cards.<\/p>\n
