Boho Picnic Idea

Author Elena Rodarte   •   July 02, 2021

Picnics are the latest trend for bridal party events and we are HERE FOR IT!  We thought a picnic-style welcome lunch would be an adorable way to incorporate this idea for a Bachelorette Party.  Here’s how we put together this BEAUTIFUL boho picnic setup.

boho picnic for your bridal party

Picnic Location

Enjoy a breath of fresh air by planning your picnic outdoors! We love the aesthetic of a beach picnic but realized it might be harder to execute. The park would’ve been just as fun, but we opted for an intimate backyard setting. Remember to provide shade if you’re setting up in a sunny location.

Picnic Backdrop

The best part about a picnic is the cute photo opportunities! Since we didn’t have a beach or park picnic, our setup needed a better background for photos. We started by draping a sheet against the wall to create our canvas and added accent pieces to make the background pop. Then we used a floral partition and transformed extra pieces of plywood to create decorative arches. We even found a cute pattern canvas that tied everything all together. Get resourceful and use what you have!

Table Décor  

Our favorite part about the picnic was the table! It’s what made the entire setup come to life! We found this adorable outdoor coffee table from Houzz and used it as our base. From there we added round placemats and our Miss to Mrs Wood Sign. Our NEW round signs are the perfect centerpiece for a table set up and we even have a personalized version so you can create your own Custom Wood Sign. We even had a special chair just for the bride-to-be. We’re obsessed with the Rattan Flower Chair from Picnic Imports. Finish it off with some pampas arrangements for an extra boho-chic look.

Party Favors, Gifts & Place Cards

It’s all about the details when it comes to picnics! We opted to use some personalized gifts that served as party favors for each bridesmaid + a place card to assign seating.  On top of the seat cushions, we placed our Personalized Beach Hats and Tie Dye Towels – perfect for the pool/beach. On the table, we used our Personalized Jelly Bags and filled them with Palm Print Tumblers, Dried Palm Fans, Bride Tribe Sunglasses, and Custom Swimsuits. This is also the perfect time to incorporate your bachelorette itinerary. We got ours from A Wild Bloom Printables.

Have Fun!

Once you’re done setting up, you’re ready to have the best bridal party picnic! We love this picnic setup because you can use it for so many different things. Plan a picnic for your bridal shower or kick off your bachelorette weekend with a brunch! The possibilities are endless, but regardless of the event you choose, this boho picnic setup will be truly memorable!

DIY Spray Paint Engagement Balloon

Author Elena Rodarte   •   March 30, 2021

Are you ready for the cutest Do It Yourself idea? Our DIY Spray Paint Balloon is the unique touch you need for your engagement photos. It’s a creative spin on our personalized balloon that everyone will be asking about!

This DIY balloon is perfect for those crafty babes that like to add personal touches to their wedding festivities. You can choose your own spray paint colors, ribbon, tassels, & even blow up your balloon as big or small as you wish. No two balloons will turn out the same so you will have an original masterpiece. 

Supplies needed for spray paint balloon

Here’s what we used:

Personalized Balloon w/ Decal

Balloon Pump

Spray Paint

Ribbon (or in our case a blank Bridal Sash)

Balloon Tassels

Balloon Stick

Blowing Up Your Balloon

To start, take your clear balloon and inflate it with air. Our balloons can expand up to 24 inches, so don’t be afraid to go big! You can use a balloon pump like we did here, or you can take it to a party store and inflate it with helium. (Caution: we aren’t sure how spray paint will react to helium since we used a regular air pump for this particular project). Once it’s inflated to your desired size, twist the end and tie in a knot to secure it.

Time to Paint

Now that your balloon is filled, it’s time to get your hands a little dirty with some spray paint! (Hopefully before your new manicure 😉). Since this process can get messy, we recommend going outside in an open space to paint. We decided to go for pink and rose gold spray cans, but you can customize your balloon to fit your own engagement theme!

Go ahead and give your cans a good shake and spray your first color directly onto the balloon. For the best results, we suggest spraying from at least a foot away – don’t get too close as we did notice the plastic balloon did warp a little in areas where we got too close with the paint sprayer. This is when you can let your creativity flow and add as much or as little color as you want. Once you are happy with the first color, then spray your second color to create a splotch effect on your balloon until you reach your desired look.

Finishing Touches

Now that you are done painting your balloon, set it out to dry for a couple of hours. We recommend tying your balloon to a stick so that the paint does not touch any surrounding surfaces. After your balloon is dry, it’s time to get it photoshoot ready! We decorated the stick attached to the balloon with ribbons and tassels to help create the illusion that it is floating in the air. 

For the Go-Getter

If you like the look of the balloon as is, you can stop here, or you can add a personalized decal featuring the new Mrs. Last Name for an added touch. If you need information on how to attach your decal to your balloon, we have a full tutorial with tips and tricks on how to do so here. When attaching your decal, be mindful of the paint on the balloon as some can come off when removing the tape.  It’s best to use a little less paint on the area you are applying the decal or it will be very difficult to apply.  If some parts of the decal don’t stick completely because of the paint not being tacky enough, you can always use a little glue. 📸

We hope you love this DIY balloon idea. Stay tuned for more!

Bridal Denim Jacket: 5 Ways to Style!

Author Elena Rodarte   •   October 15, 2020

Hi babes! It’s finally pumpkin spice latte season and we couldn’t be more excited! Crunchy leaves, denim jackets, and warm lattes is the vibe we live for. And, let’s be honest – fall is the best time of the year to style! It’s all about the accessories and layers. 😍 Wedding jackets, especially, have been IN lately so here are 5 different ways to style our bridal denim jackets!

Trust us – you’ll want to read till the end. *Wink wink*

Everyday Style

Let’s start with a casual look. We know that a future Mrs. is always on the go! This style is for those days where you’re busy running errands (sound too familiar?) but still want to show off your bridal status!

Toss on your favorite jeans (comfy & distressed preferred) and pair it with a white tee. Skip the uncomfy shoes, throw on some slip-ons, and violà! You’ve got a simple yet cute outfit that’s just waiting to be paired with your Bridal Denim Jacket. Grab your Boho Bride Bag and you’re ready to start the day!

Bridal Brunch

This isn’t the first time we’ve shared how much we love the idea of having a bridal brunch, but in case you missed it, make sure to check out our Backyard Bridal Shower Ideas where we give some amazing inspiration to plan a bridal shower brunch.

To complete the full vision, we created a look specifically for your bridal brunch. We all know that a little black dress is a staple in every girl’s closet, but for a soon-to-be bride, a little white dress is ESSENTIAL.

Pairing it with our Jacket just completes the future bride look. If this look is too monochromatic for you, don’t worry. Add in some contrast with our Bride Crochet Purse. These neutral fall tones are perfect for a morning brunch with the girls!

City Night Look

Planning your wedding can be a lot of work, so we always support a little girls’ night out to destress. If you live in an area where the Autumn breeze might not be in full effect (like us here in Cali!), we say take advantage and show some legs!

A lace blouse paired with a velvet mini skirt is the perfect combo of chic and girly. In case it does get chilly out, our Jean Jacket is perfect to keep you warm. Top it off with our Fedora Hat and Bride Straw Purse, and you have an outfit that is ready to hit the town! 

Bachelorette

As the wedding countdown begins, it’s time to celebrate your last fling before the ring. Go all out, miss. It’s your last few days before you become a Mrs!

Make it known that you’re the future bride by wearing a white feathered jumpsuit! Not only is it a statement, but it’s also a super easy outfit to put together. Pair it with some white heels and our Denim Jacket, and you have an outfit that is ready to celebrate. Don’t forget your Custom Mrs. Clutch to carry all of your essentials for the night. You’ve got to show off your future last name!

Wedding

The previous 4 styles were completely white outfits, so for the wedding day, you know we had to do something different than a traditional white dress!

When we saw this lace boho gown, we fell in LOVE! It’s the perfect amount of elegant and contemporary so we just had to share it! Add your bridal denim jacket and you’ll get some really fun wedding day photos. 

Whatever your style might be, we always love to see looks that are uniquely yours. Make sure to share how you would style this denim jacket by tagging #WedFavLook or @weddingfavorites. To see all of our looks in action, make sure to follow us on IG and watch our latest IGTV episode to see us style these 5 outfits!

Hey babes! We’re back with some more inspo and tips on how you can plan your upcoming bridal shower! We partnered with some AMAZING vendors and shops to make this bridal shower inspiration come to life! The “new normal” is still changing so here are some ideas to plan an intimate bridal shower with your closest gals.

(Psst… there’s a special surprise so make sure you read till the end!)

Keep the Bridal Shower Intimate

Regardless of everything going on, many brides are still following through with their events (with safety precautions of course!) and we LOVE to see it. One key way to do this is by keeping your events intimate and COVID friendly. It’s the best way to go to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. But don’t get us wrong – planning a small party doesn’t mean you have to cut down the fun! Being with your closest friends and families will result in a small gathering with BIG memories to be made. 

Bridal Shower Details for the WIN

Make your bridal shower stand out by paying attention to the details. It makes a world of a difference and doesn’t take as much effort as you think! Create anticipation for your fun soirée by picking out perfect invitations. Make sure it aligns with your theme & colors! There are LOTS of options out there, so skip the Googling and say hello to our friends at Peach Wolfe Paper Co. They make insanely cute invitations for just about any theme. Who would’ve thought that invitations could be so exciting and fun!?

Did Someone Say Mimosas?!

*Clink Clink!* What’s the best thing about brunch besides the food?… That’s right, bottomless mimosas!! Planning a bridal brunch just might be our favorite idea yet. 😉 Sitting around enjoying good food with your favorite pals sounds like a perfect time, don’t you think?

Brunch is not only easier to plan, but who doesn’t like a good mid-day breakfast! Just make sure you balance the savory with some sweets, like this beautiful statement cake from Catie Cakes.

Create a Beautiful Bridal Brunch Setting

Create your own unique bridal shower venue by finding an amazing rental company. Your backyard will be transformed into a beautiful scenery with lovely tables, matching linens, and cute seating. For decorations, all you need are some beautiful floral arrangements to tie everything together. Less is more, ladies! Let the floral arrangements stand out and create a gorgeous setting for your bridal brunch.

Time To Accessorize

Our absolute favorite thing about dressing up for bridal events is accessorizing, & yes, it is necessary! Future Wifeys: after you plan your outfit, make sure to add something that shows off your new status! Our Wifey Denim Jacket is super cute & easy to style with any look. A simple way to feel extra special (You deserve it!) during the party. Plus, you get great photos afterward. Do we need to say more?

Don’t forget about the guests! We always love it when you can incorporate everyone at the event for a little matching picture moment. A simple way to get the perfect group photo op is with our super cute Bride & Babe Heart Sunglasses. You can even use them as favors to decorate the plate settings!
