Featured on thebecker.com this week, a true Off The Beaten Path Wedding. Congratulations to our Bridechilla™, Perla and her hubby Brian! See more photos on thebecker.com and oh- don’t miss the groom’s shoes… 😉
We’re always, always, always on the look out for the newest ideas for our Bridechillas and their Bridechilla™ Team, not only for the big day but the little days leading up to it. For example, the Bridal Shower.
Having fun treats like cake pops keeps the shower fun and sweet, and we just love the decorated cookies too. They’re easy to make, tasty, and add splashes of color to a fun party for the Bridechilla™.
After seeing mychiclife‘s inspiring post, bountiful with fresh bridal shower ideas, we have to share. Keeping the chill is key to the celebration of marriage, so as the Bridechilla™ Team, it is your duty to help your girl keep calm, even when stress is all around… and these gift ideas are just perfect for the party. With bottles customized for the couple, the bride will be calmly saying her “I do’s” on the special day.
Oh, and of course, why not sport some Bridechilla™ teamwear for all this Bridal Shower fun?
This table runner looks like it came from an Off The Beaten Path Wedding, but actually- we found this chill idea from Buckets of Burlap, a blog dedicated to vintage decor and fleamarket treasures. Sounds like a Bridechilla™ Decor jackpot, right? Here is our favorite treasure, an old shutter made into a table runner. This is perfect for the Bridechilla looking for that perfect piece of vintage decor to awe her guests!

INGREDIENTS
1 8-inch round coconut sponge cake (or another sponge cake of your choosing), unfrosted, at room temperature, and cut into 1″ cubes.
For the peach compote:
4 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/3 cup bourbonFor the trifle:
2 tbsp. bourbon
2 cups tapioca pudding
1 1/2 cup (6 oz.) fresh raspberries
3/4 cup heavy creamINSTRUCTIONS
1. Make the peach compote: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, sugar, vanilla bean and bourbon. Simmer until a thick syrup forms and the peaches are extra soft, about 15 minutes. Discard vanilla bean, remove from heat and allow compote to cool completely.
2. Assemble the trifle: Have ready 4 clean 8 oz. mason jars with lids. In the bottom of each jar, place 5 or 6 cake cubes. Gently drizzle each portion of cake with 1/2 tbsp. of bourbon. On top of the cake layer, evenly divide the raspberries among the 4 jars. On top of the raspberries, evenly divide the tapioca pudding. (After the tapioca gets added you may want to wipe down the inside of the jar with a damp paper towel to remove any pudding smudges.) On top of the pudding, divide the peach compote among the 4 jars.
3. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Top each jar off with a layer of whipped cream, screw on the lid, and keep refrigerated until serving, no longer than six hours.
