Last month, the lovely Linsey Snyder Wachalter of Face Time Beauty hosted a gorgeous {and I mean gorgeous} “ladies lunch in the garden” at her Brooklyn Heights home. From decor to food to entertainment, the afternoon was pure bliss with no detail left to the imagination.
And really, I should kick myself. While I’ve held onto these images for quite some time, I’ve only recently realized what wonderful inspiration they would be for an outdoor summer soiree or garden bridal shower. So of course I have to share. Take a peek… Fresh garden inspired tablescapes and pretty blooms by L’atelier Rouge . Hostess Linsey Snyder Wachalter sharing a laugh with the ladies of Thread Social . A view of the garden from above; tablescape details. Napkins rolled with ivy and personalized menu cards wrapped in ribbon, from BDUB .

Mint julep-bound blooms. Tasty zucchini bread treats to take home, from Cobblestone Catering . Sweet, petite treats from Nine Cakes .
Isn’t this just so fresh, fun and beautiful? All the thoughtful details and tasty treats were so perfect, I almost had to pinch my cheeks to remember this was a workday!
Is your bridal shower coming up, or are you planning one for a friend? What details will you be incorporating into the afternoon?
