Recently I hosted a party for the 10th anniversary of Mark Ingram's bridal atelier. I thought I'd share some of the details, which can inspire ideas for a bridal shower or even a wedding! The palette was white—what else for a bridal boutique?—with some touches of silver and gold. Check out the images below taken by photographer Mel Barlow, and tune in for some more photos to come!
1 Each guest got one of these buttons by Pure Buttons to wear throughout the night in honor of Mark.
2 Everyone wrote messages to Mark in this guest book by Kolo.
3 I made this garland for Mark for the bridal atelier theme of the night.
4 Another garland with great measuring tape ribbon from Purl Soho.
5 I sketched little dresses to hang on the garland along with the letter M, buttons, and flowers. Paper for the decorations is from Paper Presentation.
6 This "Happy 10th Anniversary" glitter letter garland by Wendy Addison from Tinsel Trading greeted Mark. It's tied with Midori ribbon.
7 The dessert table turned out beautifully with all the sweets and Matthew Robbin's arrangements displayed in some of my vases.
8 I love putting the desserts on different size trays and cake stands to add depth to the table.
9 A close-up of the dessert table!
10 This D Sharp paper cake topper added some wedding flair to the dessert table.
11 Guests took home a delicious cupcake from One Girl Cookies after the party. The boxes were wrapped in Raffit gold ribbon and sealed with a custom Mark sticker from Avery Labels.
12 Yum! One Girl Cookies macaroons.
13 One Girl Cookies lemon meringues.
14 These One Girl Cookies caramel sandwiches were a big hit!
15 More yummy sweets by One Girl Cookies.
16 Even the petit fours by One Girl Cookies had little initials inscribed on them!
17 White dragees from Crossings in NY Cake and Bake cups and, of course, Mark's smiling face!
18 I love Koppers' almond chocolates and the gold wrapped chocolates from Economy Candy. They are delicious and add rich color.
19 Bloomer Candy Co. made these adorable chocolate bars with Mark's photos on them.
20 Chocolate "M" lollipops.
21 Guests loved these chocolate coins from Groovy Candies with pictures of Mark through the ages on them!
22 These Paris Caramels from Crossings went perfectly with this cake topper.
23 Sparkly Bedazzle bonbons are great party sweets!
24 Just Married wine from Swanson Winery & Vineyard.
25 Peter Callahan Catering passed around these tasty lemon cocktails decorated with fruit shaped letters and custom For Your Party stirrers and napkins.
26 Beautiful calligraphy by Deborah Delaney decorated the napkins.
27 Peter Callahan Catering prepared these m-shaped salmon hors d'oeuvres for the party.
28 I could not get enough of these miniature bouquet hors d'oeuvres made by Peter Callahan Catering.
29 Have you ever seen anything like it!
30 Caviar rings made by Peter Callahan Catering and decorated with my drawings of Mark.
31 Peter Callahan Catering also made little button-shaped hors d'oeuvres to go with the theme.
32 I scanned some strips of measuring tape ribbon from The Crafty Owl onto thick paper and they were used to wrap these mini french fry hors d'oeuvres by Peter Callahan Catering.
