Love is in Bloom: Inside this Chic Parisian-Inspired Bridal Shower Garden Party at Princeton’s Meeting House
Balloon Installation and Focal Point — Pampas Picnics
When soft elegance meets late Summer charm that transports you to France, you get a bridal shower that feels as though it bloomed right out of the French countryside. Held at the historic and effortlessly chic Meeting House in Princeton, this bridal garden party was a true celebration of femininity, love, and luxe details—wrapped in delicate florals, delicious sweets, and subtle Parisian touches.
Pampas Picnics was honored to bring the visual focal point to life, for Ayzia James, where we designed a whimsical balloon arch and statement photo backdrop focal point where our bride-to-be and her guests!
A Setting That Speaks to Style
Nestled in the heart of Princeton, the Meeting House became the perfect canvas—elevated yet inviting, with just the right amount of architectural charm for decor that was as equally minimal, as it was thoughtful.
Ayzia’s design story, created uniquely by herself, blended lush garden textures with French-inspired flair: cheesecloth runners draped across the farmhouse tables, soft pastel floral arrangements, and complementary floral glassware, alongside elegant pops color.
From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere felt like a warm afternoon in a Parisian courtyard—refined, relaxed, and undeniably lovely.
Pampas Touch: A Picture-Perfect Backdrop
We designed and installed a custom balloon installation to encapsulate the vision of “Love is in Bloom,” in a romantic palette of soft macaron pastels and rosé, gently curving into a modern focal point accented with baby’s breath. This served as the focal point of the event—framing heartfelt hugs, group photos, and sweet moments between the bride and even her groom.
It’s these small, impactful touches that help elevate events from memorable to unforgettable.
Garden-Inspired Details
This event was beautifully layered with thoughtful vendor contributions. From hand-tied bouquets at a DIY flower bar by @__yougrowgal to delicate desserts by @simplysweetsbylauren and @bywoops, every detail nodded to Ayzia’s unique style, love story, and creative vision.
Floral design by @avsevents, and @marievilyoung brought the vision full bloom, while @fromsouptonutz brought together each hand-selected aspect with care.
Our bride-to-be stunned, with hair styled and colored by @copa_studio and @balayagemaster—perfectly ethereal and glowing for the garden celebration.
