Stick to a Classic
A no-brainer summer shower theme? Americana. It's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the warm weather by dining al fresco and serving the ripest fruit and produce of the season. The red, white, and blue gives a timeless, nostalgic feel. via Krista A. Jones Photography

Take the Open Seas
We can get onboard with this chic bar setup. The oar, rope, and sparkling tablecloth adds just the right amount of nautical elegance. via Style Me Pretty
Decorate Around One Color
Sometimes you don't need a theme for a shower, just a favorite color. This bride-to-be (who is also an event planner) loved the chandeliers she designed for a previous party so much that she used them as inspiration for her own celebration. via 100 Layer Cake
Time Travel to the '20s
This dessert table will make anyone dream of slipping on a sparkly dress and dancing the Charleston. The ornate gold cake stand brings the whole theme together without too much kitsch. via Green Wedding Shoes

Throw a Carnival Party
A fun carnival-themed shower might be a childhood dream come true. The trick is adding some sophisticated touches to avoid making the whole party too juvenile, like a grown-up snow cone cart and white blooms in fun popcorn boxes. via Ultimate Bridesmaid
Head to the Desert
Taking a cue from nature, this table features beautiful blooms in terrariums and an Aztec-inspired runner made of dyed sand. It's further proof than any plain wooden picnic table can be dressed up with table accents and colorful seating cushions. via Green Wedding Shoes

Bring the Garden Inside

Celebrate the Season
This autumn bridal shower features the best parts of fall: a lush garland with deep red blooms, a crisp apple at each place setting, and rustic touches like butcher paper tablecloth and warm metals. via Style Me Pretty
Feature a Classic Color Combo
It's not "unoriginal" to stick with a tried-and-true color combination. The black and white table accessories and tableware make for a sophisticated party.

This bridal shower setup is the perfect spot for lounging and enjoying a relaxed meal. The vintage tableware and boho-inspired textiles keeps the party from being too casual. via 100 Layer Cake

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Image
Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
