Last weekend, a brave group of semi-strangers bridesmaids came together and created this stunning woodland boho bridal shower. I truly had the pleasure to work with some of the most lovely ladies on this fun and busy day!
First of all, this event was all hands on deck! Bridesmaids located across the pond and in all different time zones rallied to put this amazing bridal shower brunch together. While never having a single in-person meeting! Granted, we may have had a WhatsApp thread in constant motion nearly 24 hours a day – but that is neither here nor there. 😂💀
I don’t think any of us could have imagined how wonderful this day turned out.
I’m so excited to share with you all my favorite details from my friend’s very special celebration. Take a look at these amazing bridal shower photos and tell me what you think in the comments below!

For this bridal shower, the bridesmaids were inspired by a woodland boho theme. While teepees and dream catchers were the quintessential boho elements, these romantic lanterns, bright spring florals, and twigs of mossy greenery had me feeling like springtime in a meadow.

A bridesmaid and her friends created this stunning custom macrame floral dreamcatcher statement piece special for bridal brunch. It hung over the gift table, welcoming guests and started many conversations over its large size.

A natural inspired sweets table
The dessert table had a little something sweet for everyone – but almost every guest raved about the divine lemon torte hence it was truly memorable!

A tower of mini yogurt parfaits and berry cups made party snacking simply! No mingling time was lost with these easy-to-grab-and-go brunch menu items. These adorable little parfaits were made in advance and so easy to set up and put together.

Hands down, the Whole Foods Market chantilly cake was the star of the after-gift activities! The cake had a light and fluffy texture that when combined with its surprisingly mild sweetness was perfectly balanced. I’d recommend this beautiful grocery store cake to any of my friends throwing a party!

Mix and Match Desserts for a decadent look!
The 2 tiered display of cupcakes, assorted cookies, and french macarons was a sweet and colorful addition to the dessert table.

“Mrs” golden mylar balloons directed party goers where to find all the yummy sweet treats. Rather than spend time making homemade desserts, we picked up bakery-quality eclairs for an effortless delicious option.

Warm Almond and Plain Croissants wafted their delicious smell throughout the house. Most noteworthy was the candied whiskey bacon. It was a huge brunch hit and was gone before even all the guests arrived! Ham and cheese quiche, ordered from Papaleccos was the perfect addition to the brunch menu.

BUBBLY BAR!
Mango nectar, orange juice, and cranberry juice were the perfect accompaniments to the chilled prosecco.
Guests enjoyed customizing their bubbly with an option of fresh seasonal berries.

Tip #1: For comfy boho floor seating, steal every pillow in your house and ask your friends to do the same!
Having a teepee is essential to any boho-themed shindig! Just ask us, we had to have two!

This second teepee was the cutest backdrop to the favor display. Guests were sent home with a jar of homemade shower scrub. The adorable little mason jars were topped with a boho floral print paper and then wrapped in strips of leather. These favors were the perfect send-off for a beautiful celebration!

Britney what a fantastic blog; concise easy to read and the shower was breathtaking. Truly a WOW factor as soon as you entered. So many gorgeous details and the food was extraordinary. What a treat to go to such a stunning shower and actually want to try (and try some more haha) all the treats. Well done, best shower I’ve ever seen (bridal or baby)!
Thank you so much girl! I love that you were able to share the special day with us! 💕
