For the Bride-To-Be: A Woodsy Festival-Inspired Bridal Shower

Garden Festival Bridal Shower Inspiration

Calling every maid of honor, mother of the bride, best pals, and even the bride-to-be — today we’re sharing this darling festival-inspired bridal shower… And we’ve got a feeling that quite a few of you might just fall *head over heels* for it! So to all the gals getting married out there, we don’t blame you for sending this bridal shower inspiration over to your wonderful support system (with a little wink and nudge).

Designed by A Beautiful Gathering, the color palette revolved around bright greens, violet, and canary yellow. With abundant florals, sweet feather touches, and plush pillows — this is one bridal shower we’d love to hang out at ALL DAY. The photographer, Jennifer Skog shares, We really wanted to create a lush garden bridal shower and incorporate a sort of festival theme by bringing in tambourines, a teepee, and lots of macramé. Tying in the idea of a morning brunch turned crafty afternoon in the woods, the ladies even had a “Hair Bar” where they could adorn each other with florals (too cute!).

Ready to see all the festivities? Let’s take a walk through the woods!
