It seems like someone we know is always getting married. Whether you’re a loyal member of the bride tribe or the blushing bride-to-be, honoring the big day consists of a lot more than just the wedding ceremony. From the bachelorette party to the bridal shower, planning memorable pre-marriage celebrations doesn’t have to be stressful! See our bridal celebration ideas below.
If you’re looking to plan an epic bachelorette party, why not an adults-only trip to Disney?? Kristy celebrated her sister-in-law’s upcoming nuptials with a weekend in the happiest place on Earth and had a blast! She recommends going without kids to Disney at least once in your life, because the experience is so different when you don’t have to worry about the little ones.
Make sure you grab matching magical tees, fun coordinating mouse ears, and, if you really want to get crazy, princess-themed outfits for going out at night!! We all know the bride is royalty, so what better occasion to show off your queenship.
After all of that celebrating, you’re probably going to want a little help recovery. These bachelorette party survival kits make the perfect gift for all the gals! Your bride and bridal party will be as good as new in no time with these essentials.
For a bridal shower, you’re going to want to gift something practical but something the bride wouldn’t necessarily buy for herself. How about this: a mini wine fridge with a customized wine subscription! Who wouldn’t want delicious wines delivered right to their door, especially with all that stress of wedding planning?! Don’t forget your “Miss to Mrs.” banner in case anyone forgot who all those gifts are for.
A “bride” silk robe is a must. Whether she wants to wear it on her wedding day or lounging around her house while she dreams of being the future Mrs., this is one bridal tradition you don’t want to forgo.
Games are a bridal shower must! This ring game is a fun way to get everyone involved and share a few laughs over some healthy competition.
These party favors are perfect for your bridal shower guests! Kiss the miss goodbye with Hershey’s Kisses and champagne lip balm. Pucker up!!

Cool breeze, warm sun, the smell of fresh cut grass and citrus. There is nothing better than enjoying the vibes of a beautiful summer day on your back deck or patio. Transform your outdoor space for less with these pretty patio finds from Walmart. Bold blues and mellow yellows are the shades of the season.
DINE OUTDOORS
Call up your family and friends because you are definitely going to want to throw a dinner party for everyone with this awesome outdoor dining setup. The wooden picnic table set can fit plenty of people, both big and little. Top the table with this fun lemon dishware set, complementary navy linen napkins wrapped with wooden napkin rings, and champagne satin flatware for a classic and vibrant look. Make a fresh batch of lemonade or iced tea (spiked, for the adults, of course) and use this beverage dispenser to keep the drinks flowing, which you can pour into these adorable mason jar glasses. Keep those pesky pests away with these citronella mini tiki torches and this gorgeous wood wick candle. Add the finishing style touches with this durable yellow geometric area rug, lemongrass plant in a vintage planter, and rustic table top plant.
LOUNGE AROUND
After everyone has finished dinner, move over to the lounge area and get comfy on this contemporary lounge set or hanging hammock seat. Light a fire in the gas fire pit to get extra cozy and watch the solar string lights turn on as dusk sets in to really set the mood. The decorative throw pillows, in colors of navy, yellow, and medallion patterns coordinate perfectly with this woven medallion area rug. Add a lace-cut side table which is perfect a place for accessories like this candle lantern, and this bright yellow planter will look great filled with a vibrant green hosta plant. This metal wall clock is a charming way to keep the time, although the only thing you’ll be counting down to is when you can put the kids to bed and pour another drink, fully enjoying the soft ambiance of your beautiful outdoor lounge spot.
Thanks for reading! We’d love to hear your favorite way to enjoy your outdoor space xo.

If it is in fact true that we spend one third of our life sleeping, shouldn’t we make sure we’re doing so in a relaxing, welcoming environment? Our Amazon bedroom makeover with majestic purple hues and bright, contemporary accent pieces will give you the reset and refresh you need for a rest worthy of royalty at a price fit for a pauper.
The 8-piece luxury comforter set will set the tone of the room with bold, rich colors and pleated stripes that add a touch of class. The modern and sophisticated set includes the comforter, pillow shams, a bed skirt and two decorative pillows. The chic nightstand is great for displaying ornamental (and practical) items next to your bed and is versatile, complementing any décor. The contemporary area rug gives the room a fresh, designer look with its abstract pattern and light colors. For extra storage with style, the velvet upholstered storage ottoman and cotton rope woven storage basket are beautiful pieces that are as convenient as they are fashionable. A room fit for royalty obviously needs jewels, and the crystal accent mirror and touch control crystal table lamp with USB ports are both eye-catching and luxurious, reflecting and projecting light and brightening your space. The artificial silk leave ficus plant ties the whole room together with a no-maintenance look of liveliness.
