A Southern Charm Bridal Shower North of the Mason-Dixon

It may seem as though this bridal shower was set in Charleston—and that’s exactly what the hosts wanted you to think! A stunning private residence in Pennsylvania was transformed into a Southern garden party set in the Holy City, complete with plenty of sun hats and bright Lily Pulitzer dresses. Bride Caitlin and groom Jake got some outfit assistance from Trousseau Style, a wardrobe stylist who outfits couples for all the wedding events, from the bridal shower to the rehearsal dinner. (As a bride-to-be, I can tell you that finding like seven white outfits and all the accompanying accessories can be super stressful—this seems like a great service!) Caitlin and Jake took a few minutes to capture some stunning portraits with photographer Brittani Elizabeth before joining their guests for a glass of rosé in the sun.

A Chic Neon Kentucky Derby Party Styled Shoot

For the horsewoman in your life (or the girl who is still holding out that unicorns are real!), we love this modern take on a Kentucky Derby party, held at a local stable. Event designers Ivory & Beau chose a chic color palette of neon pink, sherbet orange and soft grey. The addition of geometric elements, from the chunky gemstone jewelry worn by the bride and her maids to the gem-shaped photo backdrop made for the perfect funky and bold update to a classically rustic setting. Lisa Frank all grown up or Derby Day gone wild—you decide!

A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower

This tea party shower was a true work of love by matron of honor Ashley and maid of honor Christianne. The two carefully planned every detail, from the floral arrangements designed by Christianne to the tea bag–shaped cookies monogrammed with bride Holly’s future last initial. The backyard was transformed with elegant tables set with gold chargers and purple linens. The effect is regal yet relaxed, as the guests sipped sparkling wine and mingled in the Houston sunshine. After tea, treats and a few shower games, the guests gathered in a circle around Holly and each shared what they love most about the bride-to-be. A few of the memories (especially the words from Holly’s mother) led to tearful hugs. Finally, the women prayed over Holly, sending their love and best wishes for her upcoming marriage and new life. What a perfect, beautiful way to share support and love for the bride before her big day! A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography A Fresh Floral Backyard Tea Party Shower | Ultimate Bridesmaid | Michelle Able Photography

A Southern Country Couples Shower

As a woman who spent her college years in the South, my idea of a great party still hinges on backyard BBQ and lawn games (please also have biscuits). So I have been dying to showcase a wedding shower with a bit of Southern charm and country flair and I at last found the one: this Tennessee couples shower photographed by Sara Tallent. Taylor and Kate celebrated with an evening of trick roping, mechanical bull riding and a savory summer BBQ with plenty of iced tea to wash it down. Cheerful sunflowers, burlap sacks and antique cans transformed into planters added charm and color to the decor. And have you seen the wooden moose head? Please send him to me! When night fell, Sara snapped the most stunning sparkler pictures I think I have ever seen—you will simply LOVE them! (Plus, Sara’s tutorial on how to take sparkler pictures like these yourself!)
