These days celebrations are a little smaller, but that doesn’t mean they need to be any less magical! To a bride, a bridal shower can be momentous, and an intimate setting in your backyard with a few of your closest gals can be all that you need for an über memorable night.
With summer subtly making way for fall, the designers at Deets & Things were inspired by the gorgeous hues of both seasons in creating this take on a tutti frutti bridal dinner party! And what is a bridal shower without tasty cocktails, honestly? Gear up for epic balloon installations, the prettiest frutti tarts + a recipe for your new favorite cocktail!
We’re ready to make memories at this bridal bash – especially from the colorful images behind the lens of Harper & Grace Photography:
Colorful Party Invitations
The color party is truly kicked off here with citrus-littered stationery from Jomygoodness!
The muted early fall colors in these Balloonworks installations are the epitome of inviting, am I right?! What a way to welcome guests into a party.
Summer Cocktails with Major Color!
How cute are these party favors?!

End of Summer Bridal Shower
There’s something so classic about buffalo print. Pair that texture with unexpected color, and it can really give a modern pop to a bridal shower table setting!
Oh, the colors! Not Just In Novels sets the bridal stage beautifully here with juicy floral arrangements + perfect colors. It’s quintessential end of summer vibes.
Citrus Tablescape Goals
Summer Cocktail Recipe!
We are always drawn to a colorful cocktail to sip on in the summertime. Speaking of which, these beverages from Nomad Cocktail Co are necessary!

1 1/2 oz blanco tequila
3/4 oz Amaro (aperitif)

Artful Bridal Shower Desserts
It’s absolute art from Jen Tee Bakes!! Tarts at an end-of-summer party (especially ones this pretty) seem like the best idea. We love the tutti frutti theme + this vivid vision.
A quaint but insanely styled bash like this is the perfect inspiration for an end to summer bridal shower!
