Bridal Shower Recap — Allysa Larson

Hey babes!

I recently had my bridal shower and it was such a blast. It exceeded all my expectations and my sister & family did such a good job planning (with a little direction from me haha). I wanted to recap everything I did because there was a lot of Amazon and DIY involved, so let’s dive into the details:

Theme: Bubbles & Brunch

We ordered catering from Snooze for brunch and it was delicious. Side note: If you do order from Snooze, it definitely was a lot of food. Online it says “feeds 5” but we had so much left overs, so if you’re just feeding girls, 1 portion would have been great for 12, especially since we had fruit, cake and cookies as well!

We bought fruit, croissants, and all the extras from local grocery stores

The Desserts

I am so obsessed with how the cake and cookies turned. They truly stole the show, so they get their own feature on this blog post

Mimosa Bar

A mimosa bar is so fun and easy to create! We grabbed a few bottles of champagne , my favorite fruit, some juice and created a mimosa station out of it. Guests could create their own mimosa flavors! (Click photos to shop)

Table set-up & Decor

We rented two 6ft. rectangular tables, 12 chiavari chairs & 2 high top tables from a rental company in Arizona. The rest of the decor was Amazon. I was shocked how affordable everything was and it still looked really nice. I was able to save some of the decor to use and host my next event. (Click photos to shop)

DIY Flower Bar

This may have been my favorite part of the party. I had so much fun getting creative and building this out without having a lot to go off of. Again, Amazon came in clutch with so many amazing, affordable finds. (Click photos to shop)

Bridal Shower Games

My sister came up with the games and they were so much fun! You can usually find these types of games on Amazon, Etsy or DIY it yourself on Canva etc. We played:

Who knows the Bride the best?
This or That
Bride or Groom
1. This one was a hit! Everyone had so much fun guessing and getting to know us better as a couple

Guest Goodie Bags

One thing about me is that I’m a gift giver! I love making goodie bags etc, so I had to do something fun for my guests. Not only did they take home a goodie bag, they also got to take home the bouquet they put together from the flower bar! (Click photos to shop)

Outfit Details

I got my dress from Revolve. Here are some Revolve favorites for all the brides to be out there — click photos to shop exact dresses

Ending

Truly this was such a dream! If you’re reading this and have an upcoming bridal shower, I hope you have the best time and don’t sweat the details. So many people who love you are showing up for you!
