Bridal Shower Theme Ideas

1. Wondering how to plan a bridal shower, how soon should you make arrangements, setting the date, activities or what about gifts for guests? Martha Stewart never ceases to amaze with her step by step instructions to plan a bridal shower.

2. Feast your eyes on this beautiful Bridal Shower Brunch by Jenny Collier complete with a mimosa bar! Gold polka dots on burlap, gold mason jar centerpieces, delicate hydrangeas, and a mint, pink and gold color palette set the stage for an amazing shower. And, as a unique party favor guests each took home a mason jar to make their own sweet tea.

3. He loves me, he loves me not! How perfect is this daisy inspired party by The Tom Kat Studio for a bridal shower, birthday party or even Mother’s Day? Some of the pretty party decor included a unique and creative tissue paper medallion backdrop that resembled daisies and a simple “he loves me” banner.

4. Diamonds are a girls best friend! How perfect is this diamond theme by Evite for a bridal shower?! Use the free printable diamond to embellish donuts. What bride to be wouldn’t be dazzled in all of these diamonds?

5. Feast your eyes on this exquisite Romantic Bridal Shower by Modern Moments Designs! Chevron stripes, chandeliers, gemstones, delicate peonies, and a gray, coral and pink color palette set the stage for an amazing shower. I especially adore the scrabble tiles that spell “bride to be”. The beauty doesn’t stop there, wait until you see the donut tower from the brunch and sweets table.

6. Looking for a unique bridal shower theme? This old-fashioned Coca Cola bottle bridal shower by Wedding Chicks is soda-licious! Clean white linens with “pops” of red tissue flowers, fresh flowers, paper straws and candies adorn the party. As a fun party favor guests received a lollipop.
