Black, White, & Gold Themed Wedding Shower

I've always liked to think I'm the progressive one in my family.. not only because I am the first-born Persian American, but also, with how I’ve chosen to celebrate my future wedding! My wedding shower was co-ed, as opposed to an all female bridal shower for me alone. Being the social butterfly that I am, I’ll take any opportunity to bring those closest to me together, so this party was a great excuse to have all of our nearest and dearest celebrate with us and meet one another prior to our ceremony/reception in October. We had the best time with everyone, and everyone had the best time together as well. I couldn't have been more proud to be surrounded by so many loving people during this major part of our lives. I also non-traditionally put together my own shower from vision to creation (I'll have a post up real soon about the DIY tissue paper flowers I made for our photo backdrop, stay tuned!). Also, I found the dupe of the original dress I'd wanted to wear, but for a fraction of the cost: $45 vs a whopping $924! I've included all the links to my outfit below. 

Grateful to my Mom, Aunty Mitra, and Cousin Nikaya for all their help making my vision come to life, and all of our family and friends who "showered" us with their attendance!
