I considered starting this post with “Surprise! Whitney’s getting married!” but I thought that might be a little mean. Don’t fret, y’all. Whitney’s not rockin’ a ring yet (though we did get a peek into her dream wedding!). We just thought it would so much fun for us to take turns dreaming up some bridal shower inspiration for each other. We thought it might help any of y’all who are busy planning showers, too!

This week, I’m playing off of Whitney’s classic tastes and her fun personality for a little garden soiree. I imagine all of us toasting to her engagement, playing games and chit chatting until the sun comes down. Then, as you must expect, string lights will come on!

I wanted to keep Whitney’s shower fresh and fun, so a garden party where everyone could don a pretty dress was absolutely the way to go. I kept imagining beautiful Southern plantation houses with a lush green grass yard for us to celebrate the bride-to-be! The landscape would speak for itself while blue and white linens would play up the springtime setting and pops of red would contribute to the “love is in the air” vibe.

Whitney’s a fab baker (y’all remind her to teach me how to make coconut macaroons!) and a monogram-lover. (She’s also a coffee-lover, and I did, for a moment, consider adding a coffee bar to this shindig!) So along with some other little activities, I think a mini cake decorating competition is in order! It will be the perfect dessert ending to an afternoon of snacking on modernized Southern fare like mini mac and cheese, pulled pork sliders, biscuits with yummy jams and cheeses, and mint juleps.

I’d love to include some cute photos of Whitney growing up around the space and big chalkboard for guests to design Whitney’s new married monogram. At the end of the night, guests would leave with a tote bag full of hydrangeas and a snack for the ride home: coconut macaroons.

Get to know more about Whitney here and here!

If you’ve already had a bridal shower, what was it like? What would your dream bridal shower look like?

P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for the next post in our shower series, where Whitney will dream up a bridal shower for Lara!

    I love Southern Weddings Magazine. I bought my first issue when planning my daughter’s wedding. I don’t have wedding to plan any time soon, but I can’t wait for the next issue. There are so many good ideas. Thanks for a great magazine!

Howdy, friends! It’s a bittersweet day for me. I’m savoring my last day in the office with the wonderful SW ladies before I head out on maternity leave. Seriously, y’all, I’m so sad thinking about not seeing Emily, Whitney, Marissa, Sierra and Nicole for a few weeks! They are the bees knees. I’m 40 weeks pregnant and due any day now. Wahooo!! So, we decided to make y’all a fun little video with some exciting updates so you could join in the fun…

Welcome to the last entry in our Bridal Market coverage. Even though our fun must come to an end, we’ve got quite the finale for you!

After hitting the Piers and seeing new and old friends alike, we stopped for a quick pick-me-up at Eleni’s in the MeatPacking District on the way to our meeting at Gabriella New York. When you have a fabulous photographer in cahoots with you, it’s hard not to stop for an impromptu photo shoot! Thanks, Trent!

Visiting the Gabriella New York Bridal Salon was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Not only was Gabriella a complete doll and her staff sweet as pie, but her salon was filled with the most gorgeous gowns and bridal accessories.

One particular lovely caught my eye as soon as we walked in – the amazing “Addison” from Marchesa. Gabriella was kind enough to let me try it on and let me tell you I literally died! Whitney fell for this stunning Sassi Holford and I think her first time in a wedding dress might have been her best! BIG huge thank you hugs to Gabriella and her team for making this MAJOR fashion moment happen!

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our Bridal Market whirlwind then with the Romona Keveza Legends show. Romona herself sat in a large comfy chair and described each dress as smiling models twirled around a gorgeous suite at the St. Regis. Fashion heaven! We were so thrilled to be a part of her last Market show and to have chatted with her after. I especially loved the lace-edged cathedral length veils and that her collection was inspired by real brides everywhere.

Whitney and I hope that you enjoyed following along with our adventures in the city that never sleeps! We are so grateful to have been able to take y’all along for the ride! Special thanks to our amazing Editor in Chief Lara for being such an awesome boss and to our fabulous photographer Trent Bailey! Whitney, you we’re a fabulous partner in crime and I can’t wait for next year already!

Which designer is your favorite? Who will you be wearing on your big day?
