cooking bridal shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid

The perfect theme for any honey-sweet bride-to-bee (get it?), this bridal shower takes a twist away from the typical with a palette of soft yellows and muted greys. The result is sophisticated and unexpected while still being bright and festive. I love how the shower colors are carried through every detail of the party: the jars of honey dotting the tables, the plaid oven mitt favors, the gorgeous dessert table piled with cupcakes and lemon doughnuts, the bright pitchers of mimosas, the Mad Lib-style party game at each place setting—every element ties in perfectly! Photographer Michelle of Wandermore Photography was there to capture every special moment of bride Therese’s gorgeous day.

Some things just make you smile. Like grilled cheese…from a food truck…in your backyard. Which happened at this kitschy-cute 50s housewife bridal shower in sunny Miami, Florida. MOH Jessica chose shades of tiffany blue and rose red to tie the retro chic theme together, from the stunning cake display by Sugar Me Knot to the checkered aprons given out as shower game prizes. Guests enjoyed nostalgic treats at the candy bar before ordering up custom grilled cheese sandwiches from the Ms. Cheezious food truck. Bride Melissa is positively glowing in these snaps captured by bridesmaid Amanda from Lovely Bee Creative.
