A Darling Surprise Bridal Shower At The Sanctuary

A Darling Surprise Bridal Shower At The Sanctuary

Want to know how to throw the most darling and best surprise bridal shower? Easy… Lie. HAHA. Just kidding! Kinda of…

It’s not the best advice I’ve given on my blog… and it’s not even half of what into making this darling surprise bridal shower at the Sanctuary on camelback… lol. But there is some good old-fashion sneakiness that goes into planning a surprise shower!

This bride has the most amazing friends who spent months thinking & preparing for this sweet event. They got really good at lying and fudging the truth. haha. Angies friends were all cracking up and laughing and having the BEST time. They were talking about all the times they were sure the secret was blown. Also, all the fun that went into concocting the best method to get her to the Sanctuary looking dolled up & cute, without giving away the surprise!

It was well worth their energy when the bride was legit surprised! Who wouldn’t be with friends like hers??? It was PERFECT.

Angie was TOTALLY surprised and thrilled by her dearest friends that threw her the most beautiful, detailed, darling and thoughtful bridal shower this last weekend at The Sanctuary on Camelback.

Bridal showers don’t have to be cheesy, or stuffy! They can be an elegant and fun event. Just spice it up with seriously cute set-ups all while supporting local small businesses.

Consider

a small local upscale restaurant,

delicious handmade cookies & cakes

balloon art

adorable peacock chairs

& the most wonderful meal!

In conclusion… these elements make the best showers!

I had the best time photographing this shower!

In addition to selecting the best place for Angie to enter and be surprised (cute surprise face is important people) I also thought out where to have all the girls hide where they wouldn’t be spotted and coordinate that “moment”. All these details are important when photographing an event. And I LOVE them.

I am so honored to capture and present the beauty and kindness of all these hard working secretive ladies in the below images!

Congrats friends for pulling it off and congrats Angie not only for your upcoming wedding but also for having such fabulous friends!

Also a little shout out from the bride and some love from her on IG

A personal shoutout to the Arizona Cardinals for gifting me the absolute BEST group of girls in the NFL (sorry I’m biased). Life out here in the desert wouldn’t be the same without each and every one of you and I truly am forever grateful for our friendships.

Thank you for showering me in the most beautiful way possible this past weekend. If you couldn’t tell, I was shocked. lol! I feel beyond spoiled and so lucky to have these memories to last a lifetime 🌺🧡💍
