There’s something about the day before a wedding that always feels different. As a photographer, I get to see the quiet joy and anticipation in these moments—the laughter that fills the room, the way a bride pauses to soak it all in. This girly bridal luncheon was the perfect way to celebrate a beautiful bride before she said “I do,” and it was such a joy to document every dreamy detail.

The setting couldn’t have been more perfect: light spilling through big windows, blush pink linens draped across the tables, and soft floral arrangements that felt effortlessly romantic. Custom made napkins and delicate glassware added a touch of elegance, while a floral wall was the perfect backdrop for guests’ photos.

As the bride and her closest friends sipped champagne and shared stories, you could hear so much laughter (and a few happy tears) as they celebrated her last day as a Miss. These are the kinds of memories I know she’ll treasure forever.

Even the food was almost too pretty to eat: fresh salads topped with fruits, pasta salad, and a beautiful charm cake made by Everything Sweet out of Auburn. Every corner of the room felt feminine, soft, and completely Pinterest-worthy.

Some ideas for the perfect, girly bridal luncheon:

A color palette filled with pinks, blues, and yellow accents
Floral centerpieces with warm colors in vintage vases
A beautiful floral wall for photo opportunities
Champagne tower where guests so guests always have a drink
Charm cake to have a unique experience for you and your guests
Thoughtful party favors: Mini perfume, candles, soaps, or cookies

These are the moments I love capturing—the ones filled with light, love, and quiet anticipation for the big day ahead.

This celebration was the perfect way to kick off a wedding weekend—and I can’t wait to photograph more brides making these girly bridal shower ideas their own!
