Love pink and all things girly? Featured in MunaLuchi Bride magazine, Issue 28, Aprill Gordon of Tulle & Tinsel Event Co. brought to life an elegant “Tickled Pink” themed bridal shower in Washington, D.C. for the bride-to-be, Courtney Hammad.
“This gorgeous bride LOVES pink and all things girly,” Aprill shares. “Instead of limiting ourselves to a single shade, I decided to design this event using multiple shades of pink. I then went to work including as many thoughtful details and textures as possible. The small guest count of 30 allowed us to really splurge and include luxurious personal touches.”
Some of those personal details include sophisticated floral arrangements, a lux chandelier, a custom pink cake, personalized hand-engraved pink champagne coupes, and more!

- Bride-to-be: Courtney Hammad (Formerly Swanson)
- Date of Shoot: March 2022
- Location: Washington D.C
Quick Facts From the Bride:
- Bride’s favorite details: The vibrant tablecloths, floral china, and custom cookies at each place setting. They weren’t just beautiful, they were actually delicious too! I’m a baker myself, so I was so impressed that I quickly asked the same baker to make cookies for my actual wedding too. I also loved the pink champagne coupes. My planner Aprill knew that I would love them!
- Decor: I left the décor in the hands of our incredible wedding planner, Aprill Gordon of Tulle & Tinsel Event Co. She delivered the pink palette of my dreams.
Inspiration…
We originally curated a completely different look, but after seeing another planner use our original concept a mere two weeks before the event date, we decided to pivot. Creating unique events is always my goal, so I enjoyed the challenge of creating a completely different design at the last minute. I’m so glad this small hiccup happened because the bride-to-be and I loved the new design even MORE than the original!
Color story…
This gorgeous bride LOVES pink and all things girly. Instead of limiting ourselves to a single shade, I decided to design this event using multiple shades of pink. I then went to work including as many thoughtful details and textures as possible.
The design…
The two items that immediately struck me were the mauve chairs from White Glove Rentals and the Textured Water Lily Linen from BBJ La Tavola. I loved these items so much that I built the rest of the design around them. The finished look was classically beautiful, detailed, and luxurious.
Favorite touches…
The small guest count of 30 allowed us to really splurge and include luxurious personal touches. From the plush chairs and delicate linens to the china and cake….there are so many lovely details that it’s impossible for me to choose a single favorite.
Pretty pink details…
Some of the highlights include the individually wrapped hand-painted macaron as escort cards, personalized hand-engraved pink coupe glasses for each guest, and the beautiful floral cookies displayed on a mini porcelain dessert stand at each place setting. The bride-to-be’s gorgeous Teuta Matoshi gown was the cherry on top. She looked stunning!
Sweet & savory treats…
