Rustic & Chic Chalkboard Bridal Shower

Dulce Bell went all out on this celebration of lasting love by using the outdoors to create a fantastic venue. With a perfect combination of classic charm and sweet elegant details, this Rustic Chic Bridal Shower was certain to please a lovely bride-to-be.

Adorable little cafe style tables were used to accommodate the guest seating, giving lots of space to everyone while ensuring a comfortable eating option. The chairs went brilliantly with the tables, with a fantastic black wired framed that added a touch of elegance to the arrangements. Each table was actually a chalkboard, so they were personalized with little phrases like, “All you need is love and Love is in the air.”

A special area was designated for the bride-to-be to lounge comfortably and open her mounds of gifts after enjoying food and fun. An innovative creation, using pallets that were white-washed for a rustic effect and then piled upon with seating cushions and throw pillows. To add to the elegant style of this piece a wonderful canopy of sheer white cloth was draped overhead, giving the vip some shade from the brilliant sunlit afternoon.

No party is complete without a variety of delicious eating choices, and Dulce Bell ensured that the guests would be completely satisfied with a fun range from puddings to cake pops.  The table for the food was arranged buffet style, making it simple for guests to see what there was available.  As a real spoiler option, not just one cake was enough for this celebration, but three! Set in front of a fantastic rustic framed chalkboard with personalized writing on it, these cakes were a phenomenal choice for this special event. Frosted in white, they all looked like a perfect little set, and were beautifully adorned with flowers to emphasize the sweetness of the elegant theme.

The guest table was set up family style, a large rectangle that would fit everyone comfortably. The table was set up with a stylish runner that gorgeous arrangements of purple flowers were laid-out on. Adorable glasses were placed out with swirly patterned straws that added a touch of fun to the look. The chairs were large and cozy, and the bride’s was decked out with an extra sash that said, “Bride to Be.”  Each place setting had a bold purple napkin that added an extra splash of color to the arrangement. They were folded impeccably with little cards that invited the guests to write down the things that make a good wife and a good husband. A board was even set-up in the room so everyone could post up their thoughts after writing them on the cards.

The delicious food was set-up on a buffet table that needed no cover to emphasize its elegance as it was a lovely modern cabinet with a deep finish. Each dish was sweetly labelled in a cute purple format that stood out. The edibles offered were classic delights that were sure to please including chicken salad sliders, cucumber sandwiches, and lemon curd tartlets. There was even fresh fruit offered, adding a vibrant healthy touch.

For dessert what better option could be offered than fantastic lavender frosted cupcakes? Set on a tiered tray, they stood out spectacularly in front of a huge silver star for a bit of adorable decor. The table that the treats were set on was covered in a glamorous silver, shiny cover, giving a sparkle that was very memorable.

Sew in Love Decorations

Decorations should be a mixture of handmade goodies and more efficient items alike. You definitely won’t have the time to sew and crochet tons of garland or wall pin-ups, and the good news is, there are tons of printables out there that mock the look of a sewn decoration piece splendidly! Circle and flag banners that look as though you sewed the letters and designs in, party signs, and even labels are all printable to look super authentic. Another awesome décor idea is to have eclectic pieces sitting around the venue that represent the theme, such as a vintage sewing machine, needle point supplies, and tassels and garland made of colorful strands of yarn. Incorporate hearts and photos of the bride and groom to be all throughout your decorations as well. Floral arrangements of simple, yet pretty flowers like poppies or roses are a must for all the tables, too.

Sew in Love Bridal Food

Food is a fun staple for the event that you can really have a ball with putting together. Think brunch type food with lots of sweet flavors for an event like this. Have croissants and English muffins set out with an assortment of jams, jellies, and spreads, and make deliciously sweet filled, fluffy biscuits. Cookies, brownies, and cakepops should be offered with the theme incorporated, giving icing needle and thread designs, or shapes of spools of golden thread. The cake is the best part to put out, as you can get super detailed with this. A multi-tiered cake in soft pink frosting with sugar fondant detailing of buttons, pins, and hearts, complete with a threaded bridal topper is a perfect event cake. Lemonade or mimosas are a great beverage to have on hand, and be sure to serve them in mason jar glassware.

Sew in Love Bridal Games

Activities can be just about anything for this bridal event, whether you opt for classic bridal shower games such as Bridal Bingo, or if you go for something more interactive, such as a small sewing activity. A great idea for this “Sew in Love” theme is to have a sewing or crafty activity planned out for your guests to do, and each gets to keep their cute creation as an extra special party favor to take home with them and keep forever.

Set up a big backdrop of two kissing doves in front of a tree with the bride and groom’s initials carved in it, or you can replicate this in the form of the event cake, too! Yellow and pink peeps are a must have for the food table, along with cakepops in the shape of pudgy bluebirds, heart shaped chocolate chip cookies, and miniature cupcakes with glittery owl toppers. An assortment of nuts (pine, almonds, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, and macadamia nuts), along with little quiche bites and popcorn balls are also wonderful for brunch food. Of course, you can’t forget the pink Moscato champagne!
