Balloon Banner: Paper Confetti
Hi friends!
A few weeks ago, one of my cousins and I hosted a fiesta themed bridal shower for one of our other cousins. Since I got so many messages on Instagram about the decor and details, I am sharing all the info in today’s post!
Beginning the Planning Process & Picking a Theme
Every time I am involved in planning a party, I always start by making a secret/private Pinterest board (the board is no longer private). It’s secret because I don’t want to give anything away in case any attendees follow me. If I am a co-host, I invite my other host(s) to join the secret board and the pinning fun begins.
I have always loved Pinterest, I find so many ideas from food & fitness to wedding/party planning & DIY crafts. For parties, Pinterest allows me to create a virtual inspiration board and helps me get my party vision.
My co-host cousin and I decided a fiesta theme would be fun and different from other bridal showers we’ve attended. We wanted to keep it chic & elegant yet fun & fiesta-y.
Decor
A large concern was that “fiesta” can be taken too far and be more cheesy than classy. However, I think we had just the right amount of pops of color and fun while keeping it bridal.
For the tables, we choose white table clothes with a mix of bright napkins, confetti, & bright florals from Flower & Fringe. The mini piñata party favors doubled as decor on the tables and were filled with a pair of bright Very Allegra tassel earrings (see below).
The Food
Sticking with the theme, we figured tacos would be perfect. We also thought it was a fun change from most bridal shower lunches. We hired Sandy James Catering and they set up a tasty DIY taco bar! They also made yummy skinny strawberry margaritas to sip.
We knew we wanted to use Edda’s Cake Designs from Miami. She has made countless beautiful (& delicious) cakes for my cousin/aunt. We turned to Pinterest again to look for some fiesta cake ideas. We picked this one as the inspiration & the result was spot on!
