One of the happiest moments of 2021 was, without a doubt, my lingerie shower.
Of all the pre-wedding events, the lingerie shower is one of the coolest and most essential. That's because, unlike the bridal shower, this is a moment for the bride, the one who is 100% involved with the organization of the big day. Thus, this is a day for the bride to have fun with her friends, bridesmaids and guests, and rest from the preparations.
First, I would like to point out that my shower was not like most. There were no jokes, because I never liked it, nor thematic decoration. I just wanted to spend a nice afternoon with my friends and family. In other words, I wanted a more elegant shower that was just like me. Check out here references and some tips to organize yours!
My lingerie shower: decoration
First of all, I want to reinforce one of Francy Atelier's mottos: you are unique, so your shower has to have your face. So make a point of having decor that speaks to your style, not what people are expecting to see.
My decor was inspired by the colours and elements of Sicilian Italy. As I couldn't have a wedding party in the country, as I dreamed, I brought a bit of Italian culture to the lingerie shower.
After defining the rustic style for the party, I chose decorative pieces that brought a simple and natural aesthetic. Fruits and foliage were the main protagonists of the decoration. All the sweets for the party were made by my brother (and they were a huge success!) and the decorative pieces I rented in a store that no longer exists.

The locations were marked with personalized bottles. I reused Coca-Cola bottles that we had at home.

The tables were marked with the names of Italian cities and part of the menu contained Italian words.

It was very hot in the day, so I chose to have popsicles to cool off

Food and drinks
A well-served menu makes the party even more delicious, right? That's why I chose delicious breads, pâtés and snacks to complete the party. In order to stay within the theme, we had artisan breads, ricotta pâté and mini-pizzas.
At the same time, I chose refreshing drinks and made a session of alcoholic drinks for each one to assemble their caipirinha using the fruits of the decoration. I don't have a picture of everything, but the girls loved it!

My dress was made by my grandmother, just the way I imagined it!
In short, my lingerie shower was as light, artistic and fun as I imagined. And what an honor for me to have so many amazing women in my life to tell this story.
