Boho Bridal Shower Idea

We love all things boho-inspired & our bride Adriana did not disappoint with her bridal shower decor! We were so honored that she incorporated our pieces on her special day, especially since she’s been with us since her bridesmaid proposals. Now, we’re sharing a closer look of her backyard bridal shower to give you some decoration inspo!

Theme & Decor

A rustic wooden backdrop that included an “Almost Mrs.” sign, created by @_mikbydesign, was the first thing guests saw when entering. It made the perfect photo-op for guests to take pictures with the bride-to-be. In addition, the bridal shower incorporated warm neutral tones, unique textures, and mixed florals paired with cushions and balloons to tie the theme together. Throughout the event, subtle signage adorned the entrance, gift table, and mimosa bar.

Seating & Florals 

Guests were able to enjoy each other’s company while being seated around a long white table decorated with rustic decor. Starting off, the decorative plates and beautiful floral arrangements by @prettylilthingslb, made the perfect table setting for the special occasion. A mixture of fresh and dried flower arrangements, which sat along the table, further enhanced the boho decorations. Ultimately, our favorite touch was the large wicker chair at the head of the table for the bride-to-be. It was a gorgeous addition to the shower, and very on-trend for the theme. 

Drinks & Food

Bridal showers aren’t complete without the sweet treats! Adriana had such a yummy dessert table that had a little something for everyone. From donuts to mini-tiramisus, @riassweetsandcatering stole the show with their intricate desserts. They even made a personalized charcuterie board that spelled out “Future Mrs Alvarez” in cheese! All the desserts were displayed on various wooden boards surrounded by eucalyptus stems which complimented the boho theme. Together with the hors-d’oeuvres was a Bubbly Bar station where guests could create their own mimosas with a mixture of fruits & juices.

Bride-To-Be OOTD

You can’t forget about the bride! Adriana was wearing a white two-piece outfit with matching heels for a stylish bride-to-be look! She accessorized her look with our Bride Headband and Personalized Veil. In addition, she threw on our Personalized Fringe Jacket with her new last name. She slayed the look, to say the least. 😍

If you decide to incorporate our pieces in your bridal shower, make sure to tag us on Instagram! We love seeing our products in action. Again, congrats to the lovely couple Mr. & Mrs. Alvarez and thank you to Adriana & her photographer @lizztinphoto for letting us feature her bridal shower.

Keep the Bridal Shower Intimate

Regardless of everything going on, many brides are still following through with their events (with safety precautions of course!) and we LOVE to see it. One key way to do this is by keeping your events intimate and COVID friendly. It’s the best way to go to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. But don’t get us wrong – planning a small party doesn’t mean you have to cut down the fun! Being with your closest friends and families will result in a small gathering with BIG memories to be made. 

Bridal Shower Details for the WIN

Make your bridal shower stand out by paying attention to the details. It makes a world of a difference and doesn’t take as much effort as you think! Create anticipation for your fun soirée by picking out perfect invitations. Make sure it aligns with your theme & colors! There are LOTS of options out there, so skip the Googling and say hello to our friends at Peach Wolfe Paper Co. They make insanely cute invitations for just about any theme.

Did Someone Say Mimosas?!

*Clink Clink!* What’s the best thing about brunch besides the food?… That’s right, bottomless mimosas!! Planning a bridal brunch just might be our favorite idea yet. 😉 Sitting around enjoying good food with your favorite pals sounds like a perfect time, don’t you think?

Brunch is not only easier to plan, but who doesn’t like a good mid-day breakfast! Just make sure you balance the savory with some sweets, like this beautiful statement cake from Catie Cakes.

Create a Beautiful Bridal Brunch Setting

For decorations, all you need are some beautiful floral arrangements to tie everything together. Less is more, ladies! Let the floral arrangements stand out and create a gorgeous setting for your bridal brunch.

Time To Accessorize

Our absolute favorite thing about dressing up for bridal events is accessorizing, & yes, it is necessary! Future Wifeys: after you plan your outfit, make sure to add something that shows off your new status! Our Wifey Denim Jacket is super cute & easy to style with any look. A simple way to feel extra special (You deserve it!) during the party. Plus, you get great photos afterward. Do we need to say more?

Don’t forget about the guests! We always love it when you can incorporate everyone at the event for a little matching picture moment. A simple way to get the perfect group photo op is with our super cute Bride & Babe Heart Sunglasses. You can even use them as favors to decorate the plate settings!
