Bridal showers are one of my favorite things to design. I have the best time helping brides-to-be design the perfect celebration for her bridal party. Visual references help so much and I wanted the inspire creative ideas and possibilities for bridal showers.
I came up with an idea to shoot and catalog different styles based on the four seasons. For the summer season, I though a California-theme beach bridal shower would be perfect. I reached out to my vendor partners and presented them my vision. They all loved it and jumped right in!
EVENT GOALS
- I wanted to give brides inspiration for bridal shower styles, concepts, and ideas that go beyond traditional styles.
CHALLENGES
- We were chasing “golden hour” for the photo shoot event — so we had to coordinate lots of people, logistics, and moving parts to catch a 30-min window.
- Setting up custom furniture and backdrop installations on sand was not fun.
- The vision included a gorgeous boozy snow cone booth… and how exactly do you keep snow cones pretty on the beach?
- California summer
PERSONAL EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Not gonna lie… This was a hard and exhausting day. But everything came together so beautifully. The backdrop, table settings, and personal design touches set in front of the ocean were gorgeous.
When the colors of the sunset washed over our event setup, this instantly became one of my favorite bridal shower designs ever.
