Lauren Conrad’s wedding has to be around the corner, you guys. While the rest of us were holding onto the last days of summer, the former reality star spent the Labor Day weekend celebrating her future nuptials at her bridal shower. Surrounded by her family and friends at her Laguna Beach home, Lauren donned a lacy LWD to the fête full of girly-girl flourishes, from the pink pastel color scheme to floral everything. And unsurprisingly, her as-seen-on-Instagram bridal bash was chock-full of DIY inspiration. Scroll through to snoop the pretty projects, including napkins printed with a so-cute custom wedding hashtag, all of which you can make for your own showers or end-of-summer celebrations.
Paper Flower Photo Booth Backdrop
Paper Flower Photo Booth Backdrop: The award for most popular piece at the party goes to the gorge paper flower backdrop that LC + gals posed in front of all day long. Create your own stunning photo booth display with our tutorial, then tie the entire room together with extra DIY floral garlands and freshly arranged centerpieces (it’s easier to do than you think!).

Signature Cocktails
Sip on something extra sweet like the golden cocktails Lauren + co raised at her bridal shower. Just like the other major elements of the bash, let the drink reflect your personality: Stick with a traditional champagne cocktail, keep it classy with martinis served straight up or punch it up with a colorful daiquiri.

Mix + Match Plates
No table is complete without a wow-worthy setting, like Lo’s mix-and-match garden party plates. As you can see, custom chargers can enhance the theme like nothing else, adding flair to the table before guests take their seats and after they excuse themselves to get up and mingle. (via Brit + Co)
Personalized Favors for the Bride
Lo requested that each of her guests bring a personalized recipe card to her bridal party, (we guess she’s just as into baking as fellow lifestyle guru Blake Lively), and we’re obsessed with the idea to pass traditions on from one family to the next. Even if you’ve never been able to master your grandma’s masterpiece apple pie, put a signature spin on your favorite DIY dish and be sure to share the secret with your bride-to-be. (via Brit + Co)
