This Chic Flamingo Party could bring some spice to any bridal shower with bold colors and a fun vibe. Designed by Pocket Full Of Parties, this fantastic theme had both innovation and excitement blended beautifully.

Using black and white vertical stripes for a backdrop, an elegance was created that spread throughout the venue area nicely. To enhance the simplicity of the backdrop, gorgeous pinwheels and frilly ribbons were hung to add color and texture to the look. Using a mash-up of pink, gold and black, these decorative items really popped.

The display table for the treats was unique, a nice small table that was surrounded on each side with a matching chair, providing more space to show off the fun decorations. Giving a twist to the classic flamingo decoration, some were painted with gold, making a sophisticated addition to the decor. The chairs were donned with adorable pink pinwheels so the decorations that were placed on top were accented beautifully.

One chair featured a wonderful gold tray that shimmered with hanging crystals, with a flamingo on top peeking out of a large bunch of black and pink feathers and flowers for a sweet touch. The other chair held a gorgeous golden platter that held the delicious beverages, each cute pink glass had an adorable pink flamingo straw for the guests to enjoy.

The table itself was covered in a golden cloth to add to the fun sophistication of this party. Set in the middle was a large white vase chock full of lovely flowers in all sorts of colors. In the center of it was another golden flamingo, making it a perfect centerpiece for the table.  The arrangement of snacks was wonderful, each macaroon and cupcake had a touch of pink to blend with the theme and looked absolutely scrumptious.

Using a stunning appreciation for the tropics, Beijos Events styled an unforgettable Luau Bridal Shower.  The venue chosen was outdoors, and with the brilliant sunlight, all of the colors of the fantastic fruit and flower arrangements really popped.

Centering a lot of the decor around the love of pineapples, this party had a unique take on the tropical theme.

Taking advantage of the natural elements around the venue, a backdrop was used of a gigantic bush which gave a lovely green tone to the dessert set-up. For a memorable serving area, instead of the traditional buffet table, serving cart was used to show off the tasty delights created for this party. Placed perfectly underneath a white curved trellis, the entire dessert area was decorated in a fun, tropical way.  From the top of the arched trellis two fantastic pots were hung that were actually shaped like pineapples, and each had a sweet display of bright flowers that really attracted attention.  The serving cart itself was a unique and fun shape with different levels, giving depth to the arrangement of snacks. The food was displayed on a range of different trays to add to the fun, relaxed vibe, ensuring that it was simple to find a delicious option to try out.

The guest table was phenomenal, it was a fantastic soft teal tone that really embraced the theme beautifully. Aloha was spelled out in pink on the table top in sweetly cursive letters. A centerpiece was made from a range of tropical flowers and pineapple, blending the theme to the table smoothly. Each place setting even had an adorable wicker fan with Aloha spelled to match the table.  No detail was left out of this impeccable display of tropical excitement, bringing the joy of vacation to a celebration that would be remembered for a lifetime.

Dulce Bell went all out on this celebration of lasting love by using the outdoors to create a fantastic venue. With a perfect combination of classic charm and sweet elegant details, this Rustic Chic Bridal Shower was certain to please a lovely bride-to-be.

Adorable little cafe style tables were used to accommodate the guest seating, giving lots of space to everyone while ensuring a comfortable eating option. The chairs went brilliantly with the tables, with a fantastic black wired framed that added a touch of elegance to the arrangements. Each table was actually a chalkboard, so they were personalized with little phrases like, “All you need is love and Love is in the air.”

A special area was designated for the bride-to-be to lounge comfortably and open her mounds of gifts after enjoying food and fun. An innovative creation, using pallets that were white-washed for a rustic effect and then piled upon with seating cushions and throw pillows. To add to the elegant style of this piece a wonderful canopy of sheer white cloth was draped overhead, giving the vip some shade from the brilliant sunlit afternoon.

No party is complete without a variety of delicious eating choices, and Dulce Bell ensured that the guests would be completely satisfied with a fun range from puddings to cake pops.  The table for the food was arranged buffet style, making it simple for guests to see what there was available.  As a real spoiler option, not just one cake was enough for this celebration, but three! Set in front of a fantastic rustic framed chalkboard with personalized writing on it, these cakes were a phenomenal choice for this special event. Frosted in white, they all looked like a perfect little set, and were beautifully adorned with flowers to emphasize the sweetness of the elegant theme.

The guest table was set up family style, a large rectangle that would fit everyone comfortably. The table was set up with a stylish runner that gorgeous arrangements of purple flowers were laid-out on. Adorable glasses were placed out with swirly patterned straws that added a touch of fun to the look. The chairs were large and cozy, and the bride’s was decked out with an extra sash that said, “Bride to Be.”  Each place setting had a bold purple napkin that added an extra splash of color to the arrangement. They were folded impeccably with little cards that invited the guests to write down the things that make a good wife and a good husband. A board was even set-up in the room so everyone could post up their thoughts after writing them on the cards.

The delicious food was set-up on a buffet table that needed no cover to emphasize its elegance as it was a lovely modern cabinet with a deep finish. Each dish was sweetly labelled in a cute purple format that stood out. The edibles offered were classic delights that were sure to please including chicken salad sliders, cucumber sandwiches, and lemon curd tartlets. There was even fresh fruit offered, adding a vibrant healthy touch.

For dessert what better option could be offered than fantastic lavender frosted cupcakes? Set on a tiered tray, they stood out spectacularly in front of a huge silver star for a bit of adorable decor. The table that the treats were set on was covered in a glamorous silver, shiny cover, giving a sparkle that was very memorable.
