This fabulous "Sweet" Lingerie Bridal Shower hosted by photographer Melissa Rodriguez and friends looks so lovely & serene. They did a great job of creating a clean, contemporary feel with light pinks, blue, chocolate, and white. Read on for details of the gorgeous invitations, party decor, a creative desserts & treats buffet, simple-chic flowers and seriously adorable handmade party favors!

Serving desserts & treats on all-white platters like the girls did for the fondue bar really makes the colors and presentation of the food stand out, in addition to bringing a clean, modern feel to the buffet. And a chocolate fountain always creates the feel of a special occasion…

These fun, creative invitations really set the tone for the shower and are the perfect preview for a stylish, upscale-looking soirée…

The invitations were made by Creative Paper Trail and I don’t see them available in their Etsy shop right now, but the template is simple enough to try your hand at these on your own using decorative scrapbook papers and ready-made flower and rhinestone scrapbook embellishments.

When it comes to floral arrangements, simplicity can be stunning. Case in point…

I love the look of flower stems submerged in water and jars filled with monochromatic candies – especially when there’s chocolate involved!

The soft colors of the shower really pop against the chic, dark espresso furniture in Melissa’s house. It’s always important to keep the colors of your space in mind when choosing the colors of your party to make sure they work with your decorative efforts and not against them!

Last but not least, how great are these lingerie-shaped sugar cookie favors?! Believe it or not, they were all handmade by Melissa and her mom. Impressive! The favor tags read: "Sweets for a sweet friend."

I apologize for all the unanswered questions! I forgot to come back and check the post. I just had someone contact me with questions, so I thought I would post my response in hopes that it might help future party planners with questions.

This is a great resource for the sugar cookie recipe and icing tutorials. http://www.sweetopia.net

The cookie cutters were purchased off of ebay. Do a search for bikini cookie cutters.

The invitations were purchased from http://www.etsy.com/shop/creativepapertrail
Under the info section on the right hand side, you will see “contact creativepapertrail.” Click on that and you can send Andrea a message!
She can give you a quote and discuss your colors, timeline, etc. She’s great to work with and is SO talented. They don’t necessarily have to be listed in her shop because she loves custom orders!

Hope this helps! Any future questions can be e-mailed to info@melissarodriguezphotography.com and you will receive a response!
