Yellow and Burlap Vintage Bridal Shower

This YELLOW & BURLAP VINTAGE BRIDAL SHOWER submitted by Jenny Marrs of Marrs Memories is just lovely! I hope you love it as much as I do. There is definitely a lot of darling shower ideas!

“This was a bridal shower that I hosted for my sister. We incorporated the wedding colors of yellow and grey into the theme. We wanted the shower to be lighthearted and fun and used details like chalkboards and personalized signs for the food and drink tables. We used old crates and vintage boxes to display the desserts on the dessert bar. The dessert bar included cake pops, cupcakes and mini cheesecakes and they were all a hit! Each guest took home a jar of homemade citrus salt body scrub in a mini mason jar.” Vendors and Credits: Party Favors (Homemade Citrus Salt Body Scrub with chalkboard painted lids), found HERE Paper Straws – Isa Kay Boutique Desserts – Darland Bakery of Orlando, FL Items used that are available in Kara’s Party Ideas Shop: Burlap Table Cloth Apothecary Jars Paper Straws Mason Jars Balloons Jute Twine

Jewelry Themed Surprise Birthday Luncheon Party

This beautiful JEWELRY THEMED SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY LUNCHEON was submitted by Alexandra Doudian of Enchanted Events & Design. Alexandra was asked to design an event for her client’s mother, who unfortunately, was robbed 2 weeks before her birthday and 4 generations of jewelry was stolen! Her client decided to throw a jewelry themed surprise luncheon for her mom. She asked all of the guests to bring one pair of earrings as a gift for the birthday girl. What a tender idea!

Alexandra said- “I was very inspired by this story and pulled together a simple design with hints of vintage jewelry. The color palette for the party was pink, cream and white with lots of wood accents. The party had a combination of modern colors with rustic accent pieces. For the dessert table I ordered some fabulous custom cookies with beautiful cameos featured on each one. This was huge hit as it closely resembled one of the birthday girl’s favorite broaches which was lost. I also included strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, strawberry parfaits, mini donut rings, strawberry whoppers and a lovely strawberry cake. I used cherry blossoms in white bottles as the backdrop of the table so the beautiful wallpaper could still be visible. For the lunch the ladies were served a variety of salads and roasted vegetables, a mixed juice spritzer, white wine sangria and lemon water. All the tables had fresh flowers which were purchased the day before in the LA flower district and at a farmer’s market by myself and the hostess. At the end of the event all the ladies took home strawberry bath salt favors.” Vendor Credits- Event Design: Enchanted Events & Design Printables: Enchanted Events & Design Photography: Next Exit Photography Cookies: Denise’s Creations

Vintage Grey & Yellow Bridal Shower

Today’s party feature goes to this lovely VINTAGE GREY AND YELLOW BRIDAL SHOWER submitted by Linsey Herrera ofLux Events & Design. What a gorgeous celebration. I love everything about it. Look at the typewriter, vintage frames, hanging mason jars, rosette flowers, doilies, milk glass & more! Swoon. Here is what Linsey said about the party- “The color scheme was yellow and grey with a heart theme! I collected lots of different mason jars, old frames, old fruit crates and milk glass to use for decor. I assembled the dessert bar with different cake domes and riser boxes. The cupcakes were displayed on top of a vintage seed box. The guests sipped on mimosas and dined on fresh baked quiche, strawberry salad and fresh fruit. The dessert bar was a hit! There was not one sweet left! To keep with the theme, Heros Baking Co. cut lemon bars into hearts and baked fresh giant sugar cookies in the shape of a heart. The sweet and Saucy shop did grey fondant heart cutouts for the top of the cupcakes. Each guest took home a small jar of homemade lemon curd.”
