My good friend Jen is getting married June 9! Here are a few snapshots from the bridal shower I co-hosted this weekend. Jen got engaged at the Eiffel Tower and LOVES modern style, so we did a Modern Parisian theme with fluffy feathers, scroll patterns, and a color palette of pink, black & white.
The shower was held at Kinara Cafe in L.A. – in an amazing private outdoor patio filled with tons of lush greenery, flowers, a loungy sitting area, and a gorgeous fountain…such a beautiful setting to work with!
Amy did a great job on the rehearsal bouquet…not too long before Jen will be holding the real thing!
Congrats, Jen! We’re so glad you loved the shower – and now the countdown begins…!

feathers can be tricky to pull off without looking like a pillow exploded in a room. you ladies did an fabulous job! gorgeous and lush.
the colours are just amazing, and i love the black pattern used.
Wow!!!! Everything looks amazing…. where did you get those eiffel necklaces? I have been looking all over for something like that for my girls….
WOW!!! amazing work! Gosh, if you were here, my life would be much easier when it comes to organizing parties. I love those feather accents and the brilliant color combos. They definitely scream Modern Parisian! well done!
wow, definitely the best decorated shower I’ve ever seen!
hi anon –
The Eiffel tower necklace charms are from a store in LA called “Party on La Cienega”. I don’t think they have a website, but here’s their store info in case you’re local or want to call them and see if you can order over the phone:

When my maid of honor was hosting my bridal shower, she and I wanted to coordinate our invitations so the bridal shower invitations would match my wedding theme and wedding invitations. We looked online and found a few places that had great bridal shower invitations and wedding invitations that could be personalized with our own wordings, Bridal Shower Invitations, Holiday & Christmas Wedding Invitations and Wedding Announcements. All these sites had lots of sample wording ideas for bridal shower invitations and wedding invitations. They also had lots of holiday and Christmas themed invitations for bridal showers and weddings. We eventually purchased from Cards Shoppe, and we were very glad we did. Our guests really loved our custom invitations and wanted to know where we got them. I really recommend these sites for your bridal shower or wedding!
What a beautiful party! One of the nicest I’ve seen. Where did you get the little boxes and the pink feathers? Also the vaces and name place cards?
Hi Anon-
Thanks for the kind words!
The pink feathers were purchased at a flower supply store – but you can also find them online. They’re ostrich drabs – tonyhill.com and ostrich.com are great resources.
The placecards are blumebuds and area available at blumebox.com.
I’m not sure which little boxes you’re referring to – but if you mean the cylinder-shaped ones with the feather on top, those were actually a close-out sale at a discount store and just a very lucky find by the bride’s cousin!
Hi, everything thing looks really great! Where did you purchase the invitations? They are exactly what I am looking for for my bridal shower.
Hi Anon -
So sorry about missing this question until now! I need to check with the maid of honor -she’s the one that ordered the invites. I’ll post the info as soon as I have it :)
Cheers,
Jenn
Hello!
I’m having my bridal shower in May, and this is exactly the sort of non-traditional theme I’m looking for!
I was curious to know where you purchased the placemats, and the pink with black top jar (diamond plaid as well) from?
Any advise would be so appreciated. Thank you for having such a wonderful site!
Would love to know where you ordered the invitations…everything was beautiful!
Hi Rita –
The invitations were purchased at Traylor Papers – http://www.traylorpapers.com – but this was about a year and a half ago and I don’t see that exact design on their site anymore :(
They do have a bunch of other cute designs though – especially under the “all occasion” section.
Here are a few other great places to check out for bridal shower invitations:
