Groom to be pops
the question. Happy. Bride to be says yes. Happier. Soon to be bride and groom
sets the wedding day. Happiest! Indeed, for all ladies getting married is an epic
milestone and having a bridal shower sets the tone for the big day.
The mood is cozy
with the casual elegance of Havana chic styling adorned the entire venue.
Shabby chic decors with flowers and cute pink flamingos everywhere.
Am I in an
eclectic town somewhere in Cuba? I start asking myself. It’s like guests on
this posh bridal shower boot camp cum party are transported to Havana. This is
what you can expect when someone as talented and creative as Happy Andrada plans
and executes her own bridal shower.

runways in Miami, Hong Kong, Beijing, Las Vegas, Toronto, Czech Republic,
Netherlands, Singapore, Japan, Rome and Milan. With many recognitions and

The Bridal Shower:
Havana Chic Style
Realizing how
creative Happy Andrada is as a person and as a notable fashion designer, her
bridal shower boot camp was executed perfectly last November 11 at The Den in Marriot
Hotel.

Food and wine are
overflowing with various carts that offer rainbow colored cotton candy, variety
of pasta dishes, topped rice dishes and ice cream.

| The sweetest of them all- delicious cake and cupcakes from Love Viva |
The main buffet
table has a bit of everything delicious from Japanese and Chinese staples to
roasted turkey but the dessert table with the beautifully made floral themed
cake and the fancy cupcakes really caught the eyes and the palate of the
guests. These yummy goodies were lovingly created by the bride-to-be sister
Viva Andrada O’Flynn. Viva is an exceptionally gifted in baking and talented in
many ways too.
Knowing the vibrant
persona of Happy Andrada, the event went on with fantastic activities and fun
‘naughty’ games.

And of course, there
was the Banana Eating Challenge wherein I joined and to my surprise- I won.
Yipee!
*The dreaded "Banana Eating" challenge. Why the hell did I join- I have such a tiny mouth and can't barely finish a half banana..haha. (I'm wearing a lacy black dress with pink flowers on my head)
*Picture below
shows how hard I chew and almost choke on my big banana. Oh well, gotta swallow
the whole bloody thing..burp! This naughty game proves me one thing- that I am
capable of enjoying 'huge and long" banana..hehe. (wink-wink)
But the highlight
of this event is when Happy Adrada presented her newest Havana Chic Collection.
Statuesque models paraded in elegantly designed dresses exuding the vibrant
Miami scene vibe.
Hip, preppy, shabby
chic and yet elegant, the models sashayed the runway with their cool Happy
Andrada creations wearing Keds sneakers in glittering gold, silver and classic white. Totally
hip- totally happy!
Each dress has a
unique character in terms of creative design and play of fabric. Colors are
subtle in almost pastel hues of rose, pink and beige. The matching accessories
on the model completed the havana chic fashion look. Thanks to FLY Shades for the cool eyewear.
And the fabulous
bridal shower of happy andrada took us into the night with such fun memories
and positivity that anything is possible. Pushing one’s creativity beyond its
limit is what this event has significantly taught me. If you put your heart and
mind into something then anything is possible.
So grateful for
Happy and Viva Andrada for the invitation and for the warm welcome, I rarely
attend bridal showers but this one is for the books!
