Need the perfect summer bridal shower inspiration?! Well you came to the right place!!! Last year we had the pleasure of designing and planning this stunner of a shower for Lauren. Hosted by her dear friend Carolina at her gorgeous home we went all out with an Amalfi Coast theme. Lauren was getting married a few weeks later in the Amalfi Coast which inspired it all! We steered a bit away from the traditional yellow and blue adding in fun pops of orange and pink. In the end it turned out even better than we imagined and everyone was thrilled! Needless to say this one is very Pinterest worthy so get your buttons ready, you’ll want to save it all!!
Beautiful photos by the amazing Teresa Ann Photo
First guests were greeted with this happy moment! The perfect welcome sign by Chelcea Creative along with beautiful balloons by The Pop Shop! Already you know this one is going to be festive!!
Second they were greeted by this incredible backdrop by Goldie Crew Creative! Entering the backyard and laying your eyes on this must have been amazing!! As mentioned earlier we had fun with color using lots of pops of yellow, orange, pink and even blue. Not Just in Novels added to the beauty with floral installations and lemons… Lots and lots of lemons! Finally The Pop Shop finished it off with more balloons. Clearly this was THE spot for photos and you can see why!
Indeed it was the perfect day and this was the perfect backyard for this setting. The infinity pool and gorgeous view really added to the ambiance.
Guests were able to relax before lunch in various lounges and at high tops. It was a warm day so cocktails and light apps were needed. Mini Aperol Spritz bottles were the perfect refresher!
In addition to the spritz station we had the cutest little bar. Archive Rentals brought out this mini bar which was the perfect size. Carlos the bartender served up cocktails alongside our custom bar sign and napkins by Chelcea. More beautiful Not Just in Novel flowers finished it off, cheers to that!
Apart from all of the beauty you’ve seen was the main event, the table settings! Obviously this is always our favorite part! We set 2 long tables with linens from BBJ La Tavola and chairs from Archive Rentals. The day of the shower we needed an extra table and Sweet Salvage Rentals came to my rescue! She is such a sweet friend!
Above the tables were The Pop Shop balloons with greenery and they looked beautiful. The house is a Tuscan style, which adds to our theme, and having this balloon moment was so stunning!
Next is our lovely table setting! Full of color and beautiful details, this is a fun one! Using Catalog Atelier’s collection we paired rattan chargers with peach plates, blue and white salad plates, metallic flatware, birght blue wine glasses and white cups. The printed yellow napkins from BBJ La Tavola were a fun addition along with Not Just in Novels gorgeous flowers. Lots of mini arrangements and fruit lined the table creating the most amazing centerpieces.
Furthermore, custom menus and place cards by Chelcea add those extra details you know we love!
Truly these colors belong together!!
Clearly I can’t get enough of this table!
Likewise, we can’t get enough of Lauren and her beauty! Here she is, the bride to be, looking gorgeous on her shower day!
Absolutely, Carolina is such a sweet friend for hosting!
Last but not least, we couldn’t forget about dessert! Sugar From the Heart Bakeshop made our cake dreams come true with this one!! The bright colors are perfect along with the florals and fruit details. Speaking of florals, Not Just in Novels does it again by surrounding the cake with blooms upon blooms. In short this cake moment is next level!
Finally let’s take a peek at the party along with Lauren and all of her beautiful guests!
Putting Carlos to work!!
Not only were guests treated to a beautiful day but also amazing food! Chef Brandon Hall and Thyme Well Spent Catering created the most delicious Italian inspired menu that everyone raved over! Yum!!
Undoubtedly it was an amazing day!!
Cheers Lauren! Thanks for letting us be a part of your special day!!
