"I have ALWAYS wanted a Chanel-themed bridal shower," says Bayann. "Being a fashion blogger, I wanted my shower to be super over-the-top and super glam, but also something I'll look back on years from now and still be like 'wow that was beautiful'."

They played a variety of different games including one of our favorites, the "What's in your purse?" bridal shower game.
How to play: Pass out the cards to your guests along with a pen or pencil. Then have them mark the items that they have in their purse. Whoever has the highest points wins!

One of Bayann's favorite details was her dessert table and doughnut wall. "It was like nothing I had ever seen before with black and white doughnuts hanging on a pink backdrop with pink paper flowers surrounding it!" She especially loved the Chanel-themed dessert and pink popcorn, too!

"My favorite moment at my shower was right after we ended a game about how well I know the groom," says Bayann. "My fiancé completely surprised me and walked in lip syncing our favorite Michael Bublé song with a huge bouquet of pink roses!"
