Eat, Pray, Love Bridal Shower Inspiration

Take a journey through Italy, India, and Indonesia! (expert advice)

Eat, Pray, Love Bridal Shower Inspiration article photo

Eat, Pray, Love

After seeing the movie, Eat, Pray, Love- the very talented inspiration blogger, Dionne Christiansen, set out to plan a party inspired by the movie character's travels through Italy, India, and Indonesia.  Dionne selected a vibrant color palette, exotic decor elements, and, of course, a menu of international delights!  We thought this would be a great concept as a shower for the jet-setting, yogini, or adventurous bride.

 

Inspiring Stationery

Place cards, menus, and invitations were made and printed from a home computer.  To get the look of the place cards, Dionne adhered each card and a translucent ribbon to a toothpick.  She pierced the toothpicks into faux mossy rocks from Z Gallerie to complete the project. 

Decor Elements


Dionne filled the room with colorful, textured fabrics- reminiscent of India.  She found gold, blue, and green chargers on sale at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each!  The decor was complete with orange roses, lantern accents, and an exquisite centerpiece with antique bells.

The Menu


ITALY:
Caprese Salad Skewers
Lamb Pesto Meatballs
Hazelnut Cakelets
White Chocolate Apricot Cake
Tiramisu Cups 

INDIA:
Chicken Curry
Naan

INDONESIA:
Indonesian Style Noodles
Chili Lime Eggs
   

Well, I don't think it gets any better than this, ladies.  Cheers to being at peace, well fed, and in love.

Great idea! JoAnn's also has a wonderful scrapbook paper on clearance that is India/persian inspired. Lots of the same colors you used.
