A Tropical Garden Bridal Shower

Each guest at this Florida bridal shower for HGTVGardens community manager Mallory Colliflower took home their own miniature succulent. The bride's sisters spray painted miniature terra-cotta pots with metallic gold paint and added hot pink aquarium rocks for a punch of color. The shower was hosted by the bride's sister, professional photographer Courtney Ortiz.

The bride's mother donated her colorful collection of Fiestaware pitchers to serve as vases for equally vibrant flowers.

Privacy fencing made from overgrown bamboo cleared from the yard creates a charming outdoor room made more so with a vintage couch covered with a tropical print and a Fifties-style table.

Clever, inexpensive touches helped set the mood. The party host stapled a white bed sheet to this pergola to create a canopy effect and provide relief from the Florida sun.
