A Garden Bridal Shower

Oh- This is PRETTY!

I am loving this beautiful Yellow & Coral Garden Bridal Shower by Debbie of Debbie Kennedy Events & Design! 

The beautiful venue, decadent desserts, and friendly color palette make this event absolutely enchanting. 

There are so many great ideas here… I love the moss covered vases, sparkling cider tray, and tiny cookie easels. 

Not to mention, that cascading floral centerpiece is to die for.

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

– Beautiful pink, orange, and yellow florals in moss covered vases

– Ruffled yellow chair backs + Coral table linens with sheer, yellow floral covering

– Gorgeous flower cookies on tiny easels, ruffled yellow cake, and lemon tarts

– Sparkling Cider wine glasses in a vintage, mossy crate

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Debbie…

Shower your guests with luxury at this coral and yellow themed Bridal Shower! The yellow vine overlay table linen was the inspiration for this party. Moss balls decorated with flowers on the table made a more dramatic and summer feel and coordinated well with the moss vase for the flowers. 

Make a simple but elegant dessert table with a cake that is inspired by the vines in the table linen and offer beautiful fruit tarts to keep that summer feeling going. 

Add a sign on an easel to help invite your guests over to the sweet table. Water or Drink stations. Take a simple herb garden and paint to match the theme.

 I added Styrofoam and moss to elevate the glasses to see them better then added sparkling cider and fruit to the wine glasses.

 Add some coordinating flowers and you have a statement piece for all your guests to gush over. 

 Instead of putting cookies on your dessert table, add them to the table setting by putting on an easel for guest to marvel over at lunch. This also makes a great party favor.

Make pretty menus to let your guest know what is in store for lunch. This is a great way to decorate your place setting.

Gorgeous Vintage Inspired Baby Shower

This "Vintage Inspired Baby Shower" by Lina of A Stunning Affair absolutely gorgeous!

PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for: 

– Dessert table with flower sugar cookies, book risers & Kraft paper “BABY” banner

– Bright & whimsical floral arrangement centerpieces in mason jars wrapped with kraft paper & colorful yarn

– Brown Bag “Nibbles”, Fondant Floral Cake & “Baby Talk” Advice for mommy-to-be!

– Kraft paper pinwheels + table runners with gorgeous hand lettering

– Vintage inspired place settings with pretty menus and eclectic tea cups

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Lina:

When I found out my dear friend and fellow event planner was pregnant I immediately started planning and gathering ideas for her baby shower.

The baby shower took place at a quaint tea house, in Orange County, CA . When the guests arrived they were greeted in the lobby with a vintage beverage station completed with striped straws and mason jars and nibbles to snack on. Each guest was also given a pacifier and invited to play a “baby” game. We also created small cards where guests could write well wishes for the mother to be.

Later, guests were asked to enter the lunch portion of the afternoon. Upon entering the room, the guests were greeted with an escort card sign and directions to their assigned tables.

The décor of the room had a garden theme with a hint of playfulness. 

Nursery rhymes were written on each kraft paper table runner, and the centerpieces were placed in mason jars wrapped in kraft paper and trim and wood boxes and filled with hydrangea, ranulculus, raw cotton, roses, thistle and blue delphinium. 

The desert table was filled with delicious deserts and was decorated with baby books that were stacked above one another and sprinkled with baby blocks.

The guests sipped on a variety of teas in adorable china tea cups and snacked on delicious sandwiches, scones and mini tea cakes. Everyone had an amazing time and it is a day that Heather will never forget!
