A Romantic Garden-Themed Bridal Shower

“Rather than a specifc, complex theme, we relied on soft color, greenery and touches of classic gold to convey an elegant, intimate feel," says Lotta Alexandersson, founder of Mint Design.

“We kept everything foral focused, from the invitations and paper goods to the centerpieces and dessert cookies. This design strategy made planning both easy and affordable," says Andersson.
