pink bridal shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid

If you’re gonna go pink and glitter, you should really just go all the way—as evidenced by this gorgeous glittering pink high tea shower shot by Ducky Jessica Photography. DIY bride Helena created a girly glam wonderland of pink balloons and flowing fuchsia streamers in her Australia home. But this tea party theme is far from the traditional—it’s Marie Antoinette a la Sofia Coppola, the Mad Hatter on a sequin spree. Soft flower crowns were the perfect unexpected accessory, adding softness and a natural touch. Guests sat down to high tea before popping the glitter-dipped champagne bottles and retiring to the patio to enjoy the Sydney sunshine.

This carnival bridal shower just screams fun, with the bride’s stunning ring popping out a pile of gumballs and a serious Sex in the City moment on a nearby iron bridge. You know that scene—Carrie with the balloons? Bride Kellie transforms SJP’s New York moment into a sweet bridal story in these stellar shots from Dyanna Joy Photography. Other little touches I love? The shot of all the girls’ stylish shoes abandoned by the door and a snap of Kellie and her bridesmaids snacking on cotton candy in their flowy sundresses. The pops of pink throughout this story tie everything together, from the pastel pink cake and pink lemonade to the just-blooming cherry blossoms. Gorgeous!
