Bridal Shower part 2- Girlfriends + Gifts

I was highly convinced that emotions wouldn’t hit me until I walked down the aisle. BUT as soon as I walked into a room filled with my family, sister, & of course my girlfriends that I love most …I immediately started tearing up. It’s moments like these that remind me of how blessed I am. My girlfriends showered me with lots & lots of gifts, but most importantly  words of encouragement for the next chapter in my life…..

{from the smallest details that was thought out by Sara Sohn aka MommaSohn}

From the gifts, to the stories, to “Give your best Chriselle Pose” game (yes, my bridesmaids made all the girls give me their best Chriselle pose…how embarassing!!) I was touched by how well all my girlfriends know me! The biggest joys in life comes from solid relationships & growing friendships!

Will be sharing with you little moments on the next post that were shared between my sister Janey  + my family during the shower

    Once again, beautiful photos!!!
    As I was slowly scrolling down each photo, when I came upon the B/W one with the 2 women sitting at the table, I stopped and thought to myself that the woman sitting next to Sara sure looks alot like Lisa Ling and sure enough it was!!
    Everyone looked so pretty!! I love your D&G dress and am in love with the YSL clutch and Valentino shoes. There’s just something I love about neutrals paired with gold.
