When you’re planning a bridal party shower for an event planner every detail has to be perfect! When I got to Shahana’s house I witnessed some of her bridesmaids putting the final touches. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of all the Kate Spade themed decorations around the house. I was in complete awe with the thought & care that went into making sure each & every detail was placed correctly at the right angle before the bride arrived. 

Throughout the entire time I felt so grateful to be a part of the celebration and everyone was so incredibly welcoming! It was great watching these girls reunite & being able to capture her sisters, family & friends. Also everyone was dressed to the theme perfectly. Not all of their dresses were from Kate Spade but they were definitely on point!

One of the games during the party was coming up with choreography to about a minute and a half of a Bollywood song. I got to witness the planning stages of the four teams and as a dancer was pretty impressed with the final results that were performed in the living room!

These ladies were actually flawless! Also it was great to hear a mini introduction from a lot of the bridesmaids that were able to make it out. Towards the end

Shahana, I’m glad I got to be a part of and capture all the joy at your bridal shower. It was so much fun and has only made me more excited to take pictures of your wedding week events coming up in July!
