Luau Bridal Shower

It’s amazing that I’ve never shared my Bridal Shower on this blog! I had a fabulous Bridal shower in June 2008 before our August 2008 wedding that was hosted by my Godmother at her home in San Diego.

Since we were honeymooning in Hawaii, we thought it would be apropos and fun to do Hawiian Luau theme.

It’s very easy to be cheesy with a Luau theme, so I told my Godmother to steer toward a chic, vintage take on the Luau theme.

I even made her an inspiration board based on what I imagined a vintage Hawaiian Luau Themed Bridal Shower to look like:


And here is a look at what she created for my actual Shower!

It was such an amazing Bridal Shower; complete with mai tais, leis, orchids, sand, pu-pu platters, palm trees, and fan favors. She had so many fun details! Here are some of my favorites…

The invitations


The florals


The sand and palms décor


The entryway to my Godmother’s house (me, Mom, and Grandma!)


My Godmother and me with my chocolate orchid cake


Opening gifts! I love our facial expressions.


Thansk for stopping by on "Show Us Your Life" Friday!
