This Bride was super lucky — not only was she about to marry the man of her dreams, but her talented sister threw her an amazing Bridal Shower. Barbara's sister, Adrienne, works for Cherish Paperie ... so it was no surprise that paper products played a large roll in the decorations. Using a color palette of gray and yellow, this event is full of beautiful signs and a variety of vintage decor that is sure to inspire! Don't miss a single detail from this vintage yellow and gray bridal shower by viewing the full gallery here, all beautifully captured by Zoom Theory Photography.

The tables, chairs and other vintage decor were rented from Archive Vintage Rentals, truly transforming this backyard into a chic party venue. The tables were decorated with a large assortment of white, yellow and black vintage vases that ranged in both size and style creating an eclectic feel. An array of cacti, succulence and yellow flowers from Krista Jon Florals filled the vases adding a touch of nature to the tablescapes. The tables were also decorated with signs displaying facts about the bride allowing the guests to get to know the bride better — a great idea for a bridal shower with vast guest list that includes her future relatives!

Golden Margarita Recipe:
1 1/2 shots tequila
1 1/2 shots Grand Marnier® orange liqueur
1 shot lime juice
1 shot sweet and sour mix Shake ingredients vigorously with crushed ice in a shaker glass, and pour over crushed ice in a lightly salted margarita glass. Garnish with a twist of lime and serve with two cocktail straws. Signature drinks are a good way to personalize your event or reinforce a particular theme. This bridal shower had a "Margarita Bar" consisting of two types of margaritas. Other beverages were provided as well — kept cold in an old vintage bathtub, which is so much more interesting than just a bunch of coolers! Keeping for a recipe so you can make Golden Margaritas at home.

A vintage desk was used as a cake table...with a perfect place to keep the napkins from blowing away. Along with vintage decorations, the cake table displayed a yellow and gray macaroon tower and beautiful yellow ombré cake created by Sweet and Saucy Shop.

Bridal shower favor: Thank you for coming to Barbaras bridal shower

From the Bride:My shower was a wonderful surprise for me, not the party but the details. It was perfect from the food to the decor. An amazing day of family and friends with so much detail in the paper products from the banners to the straws ... I was blown away. The decor was amazing, too — so beautiful and exactly opposite of what I wanted for my wedding so it was so great to get to have a different "theme." I loved the gray and yellow together and Preppy Chic and Krista Jon's styling was beyond magical with the mix matched pieces — loved it! I teared up when I arrived, I couldn't believe it was all for me.
