This Is the Citrus Inspired Bridal Shower of Our Italian Summer Dreams!
Color coordination was top priority for this Italian inspired bridal shower! Lemon lovers rejoice – the team from Detailed Touch Events incorporated the finest yellow details amongst dark blue to create a stunning and eloquently designed event. There’s no doubt that this day completely raised the bar for celebrating brides-to-be. It couldn’t have done so without the vibrant and artful floral arrangements that beautifully set the scene from Garden District Flowers or the unbelievable citrus themed invitation suite curated by Matinae Design Studio.

Detailed Touch Events…
When I was asked to plan and design a Capri inspired Italian bridal shower, I could have not been more excited! The bride to be really appreciates her Italian heritage so that is something the host wanted to play heavily on.
The sprinkles of lemon and blue mosaic tile can be seen throughout the design, but I really wanted to make sure the overall aesthetic didn’t come off too theme driven. To balance the bright hues, I anchored the space with an open-air, white draped tent.
Then I brought in neutral elements through the light wooden chairs, rattan pendants, charger plates and other small design details through-out. The goal was to have the shower feel beautiful and elegant, while still evoking a crisp, clean and modern aesthetic that complimented the host’s private estate.
It is all about the details! Here are a few elements I loved:
- Greenery accents attached to the tent to mimic overgrown greenery crawling up the side of an old Italian villa.
- Blue and white chinoiserie vases used that were the host’s late mother’s collection. It is always about including those personal touches for me that make an event extra special!
- Olive oil favors were sourced locally from the Edible Schoolyard where school children help sustain their own organic gardens.
