7 Out-of-the-Box Wedding Shower Themes

Bright, alfresco decor, a laid-back vibe and tacos? Count us in! Abby Guido, owner and creative designer at Beijos Events wanted to create an ambiance that’s both inviting and fun for couples. Add in a warm, summery day, and “it was a no-brainer that the event should have a fiesta vibe,” Guido says. Think festive pillows, lots of color and beautiful bougainvillea to tie it all together.

What’s a fiesta without margaritas, cerveza and tequila? An awning-covered corner makes for a cool spot for cold drinks. Katie Hund of Wylie Weddings keeps the fresh, fabulous theme going here with more of the pretty trailing flowers, a skull accent and vibrant backdrop.

Made-to-order tacos, chips and guac and churros are at the ready when the guests are, thanks to a beloved local food truck. A fun addition to the party, a food truck is a no-fuss solution for all kinds of outdoor events. The mobile restaurant allows guests to grab delicious bites at their leisure — without putting the brakes on mixing and mingling.

A variety of fresh, hot tacos are cooled down with a leafy, green salad on the side — a perfectly delicious combination for a casual, alfresco party.
