We Love: Bridal Shower Games & Ideas

Happy Monday! Here’s our favorite bridal shower idea, from Apartment Therapy:

The best surprise party I’ve ever attended had no hiding behind couches, no yelling “surprise.” The honoree arrived at a party in progress and slowly realized that all her friends and family were there and the cake had her name on it! It was an amazing, low-pressure way to surprise her without all the drama.

How cool is that? Here are a few more cool ideas we’ve collected for throwing a memorable wedding shower.

Don’t care much for pink and glittery? From Grey Likes Weddings, this dinner party theme would make the best Bohemian wedding shower! How cool is that cake? Do it and send us pictures!

We love modern calligraphy!

Send out these recipe cards with the shower invite and collect them at the party. So personal and heartfelt!

And since it wouldn’t be a shower without a silly (but awesome) game, here’s how you play “Sticker Stalker” in 5 easy steps.

1. Give 10 stickers to each guest.

2. The object is to stick all your stickers on the other guests without them knowing, one sticker per guest.

3. If you’re caught “stickering” your target gets to put a sticker on you.

4. If someone falsely accuses you of “stickering” you get to sticker that person.

5. The first one to get rid of all their stickers wins!

We Love: A Brunch Wedding & Statement Lipstick

Here’s a wedding makeup idea your bridesmaids will love. A statement lip can make a subtle, wearable bridesmaid dress really ‘pop’ and coordinate with your color scheme. Check this out for inspiration.

The sensibility doesn’t have to be bright and poppy, either. In fact, we love the juxtaposition of moody makeup and spring flowers, too.

Imagine a chic burgundy or oxblood manicure with these Jeff Cooper rings. The contrast of fresh florals and deep, dramatic color looks so cool.

Good news! You have two more days to save 20% off wedding & bridesmaid dresses at J. Crew! We’re really feeling this color. And doesn’t the illusion neckline on this one feel like something Sofia Coppola would wear?

These accent walls are totally inspiring for home, but we think they’d make great photo, reception or ceremony backdrops as well.

And speaking of parties. Our Bloody Mary love is well documented, so how about serving this for a chic brunch reception, shower or engagement party? Lovely.

And it wouldn’t be a wedding roundup without the emotions running high. Here are two of the most romantic things we’ve seen lately.

Have a heavenly weekend, friends. ‘Like’ us!

 

 

We Love: Castle Wedding Venues

The last Friday of the year! This picture from photographer Pete Souza’s ‘Portrait of a Presidency’ series sums up our feelings pretty perfectly. We’re reflecting on the past, hopeful for the future, and excited about now. Here’s our weekly list of cool ideas and fun diversions. Enjoy!

Wow. So romantic, and it involves our brand!

These wedding photos are so fresh and understated. Not what we expected for a castle wedding!

We love this rosé colored party theme from Design Sponge. Just perfect for a baby or wedding shower.

Also loving Beyonce’s tumblr. So posh and so adorable at the same time.

On Miracles.

If you cook or want to, here’s Bon Appetit’s list of 50 kitchen essentials.

There’s a New Year’s resolution in here somewhere. Crunchy, salty kale chips.

And in here, too. It’s a documentary that explores happiness, perfect to watch on New Year’s Day, and available instantly on Netflix!
