(Aceshowbiz) Serena Williams recently jetted off to Miami to celebrate her upcoming wedding to fiancé Alexis Ohanian with a fun-filled bridal shower. The pregnant tennis superstar was joined by 20 of her closest friends, including her mother and sisters.

People reported that Serena enjoyed the celebratio­n at South Beach’s 1 Hotel last weekend. Event planner Val Vogt of VLV Group told the publicatio­n that the bridal shower was meticulous­ly planned out. “The shower really reflected Serena’s girlie and detail-oriented personalit­y,” he shared. “There were lots of surprises for her throughout the weekend.” A friend of Serena added, “It was a really magical weekend with a lot of love for Serena.” According to Us Weekly, Serena kicked off the celebratio­n with a group breakfast on Saturday, May 6, completed with an omelette bar, green juices and gluten-free breads. They later joined a yoga and meditation class on the rooftop pool deck, before getting pampered with foot massages in an air-conditione­d poolside cabana at the hotel’s Bamford Haybarn Spa. Serena then hopped on a private yacht with her pals and family for a relaxing cruise around Miami.

When the group returned to the hotel, Serena’s friends had covered her luxurious “Retreat Collection” suit with bridal-themed decoration­s, including custom-made pinata of her in a Nike tennis dress and her fiancé. A source said that her pals gave her stuffed animals as gifts at the end of the Saturday night party.

The 35-year-old Grand Slam champ seemed to enjoy her vacation as she took to Instagram to share a funny pic from her visit to Disney’s Pandora: World of Avatar in Orlando, Florida. “Had the best time at Disney, Pandora was unreal!!#visitpando­ra,” so she captioned the photo.
