Whew! I’m on a roll with the festivities and blog posting! I hosted Jalyn’s Bridal Shower at an elegant tea salon in old towne Orange called, Paris In A Cup. The place was so fitting for a bridal shower and the atmosphere was simply divine! I was extremely excited about hosting a “traditional” bridal shower with an all female crowd because in my culture, huge co-ed wedding showers are more common– allowing both families to meet and mingle before the wedding. ! Despite the smaller, and more intimate group of females however, it still felt like a big happy family to me. Jalyn, you are loved!


Floral arrangements were done by Kim Martinez of Lavender Hut. who also happened to be my wedding florist. She does beautiful work, is extremely creative and is very reasonable with her pricing!


The scrumptious traditional tea fare.


The details of the tea salon are exquisite! The owner, Cheryl, spent countless hours watching old movies filmed in Paris from the 40′s and 50′s. After carefully selecting designs, decors, and furnishings, Paris In A Cup was brought to life!




Jalyn’s “Pearls of Wisdom” (scrap)book. I finally got to use my Fuji Instax for these!


Just some Bridal shower games… Celebrity couples and Jalyn the Desperate Housewife!
