Travel Bridal Shower Ideas

Travel Bridal Shower Ideas: “Life is a journey best traveled together.” It’s a popular quote signifying the joys of being in love and experiencing the world with each other. What better motif for a bridal shower then, than that of travel!

Popular Quote you can base the theme on:

A Travel bridal shower takes the bride-to-be’s love of jetsetting and celebrates it with plenty of great décor and food, all the while also celebrating the upcoming nuptials. After you’ve got all your postcard-esque invitations sent out, then you can begin to create an event that just might give everyone at the party the itch for travelling!

Post up large world maps as backdrops, and have guests put pretty pins with their names attached into all the places they’ve traveled to. Find out the future bride’s favorite travel spots and incorporate those places into the food and beverage. Hand out favors in little miniature mock suitcases filled with candy from all over the world. Stuck on where to go with décor? Don’t be! The world is (quite literally!) your oyster with this party theme when it comes to decorations. Make a banner garland of world flags, hang up chalkboard signs with all things wanderlust, and infuse the jetsetting theme into globe balloons, treasure map table runners, and centerpieces of colorful budding peonies.

Glittering backdrops for walls, and tapestries laden with Moroccan designs pair beautifully with crystal-filled bowls that serve as perfect centerpieces. Gold tassels, hanging metal lanterns in all sizes and shapes, tulle in every color, and exotic flowers make for incredible décor accents. Don’t forget plush pillows for guests to sit, and dim lighting that really sets a cool ambience. Having an outdoor bridal shower? Don’t forget the tasseled umbrellas to offer shade from the sunshine. Use all the bright colors for inspiration further for your guest party favors, too. Think orange bags filled with Moroccan treats, along with specially monogramed wine charms celebrating the bride-to-be and the date of the bridal shower event. Another really unique idea for favors are Moroccan slippers, which both serve the theme well, and also are something guests can take home and use forever!

Lemon Themed Bridal Shower Ideas

Some of the hottest trends in fashion, décor, and print today are lemon-themed, and for good reason. From bright pops of color to happy ambiance and beautiful scents, you can never have too much lemon love! Southern Belles and City Chicks alike are in love with this theme, making it versatile and perfect for a fun bridal shower soiree.

Options for décor are pretty much limitless, and of course you can start with actual lemons themselves! Not only do they offer perfect décor for theme, but you can use them in a beautiful bowl as a centerpiece for tables or in a decorative wreath, along with having a yummy scent included as well. Bright yellow streamers and balloons, along with inflatable lemon wedges offer a festive and entertaining aesthetic. Create a photo booth for the bride to be and her guests, with tons of hilarious lemon props. You can even ask guests to dress in something lemon-themed on the invitations so that they arrive bringing a little bit of lemon flair with them! Favors can be just as fun as décor, too, so opt for things like goody bags filled with gourmet lemon treats, or candles. And of course, you absolutely cannot forget the signature beverage for the event—delectable lemonade.

Lavender Bridal Shower Ideas – Mood Board

Lavender Bridal Shower Ideas: A bridal shower is a time to celebrate the magic of a bride’s upcoming wedding, and there’s nothing more romantic and whimsical than lovely lavender. This plant has become a staple in itself over time, with its beautiful blooms, patented purple colors, and heavenly scent. Not to mention, it adds an incredible flavor into cakes and cocktails, too! Creating a bridal shower theme centered around this sweet flower is the perfect way to ensure the party is unforgettable.

The simplest place to start is, well, the floral arrangements! Spritely buds of lavender make for beautiful table centerpieces, or even bouquets dried and hung along doorways offer a breathtaking look and a relaxing aroma. You can sprinkle lavender pieces across tables as decoration, and hang up twinkling lavender-hued lighting for an extra dose of magical ambiance. Purple balloons, lace overlays for tables, and big lavender bows for chairs are also extra special touches. Lavender seems to pair wonderfully with yellows and lemons, so compliment the theme with this aesthetic in the form of food and décor. Of course, you can’t forget fabulous favors that keep with the theme, as well. Opt for burlap-tied goody bags or baskets full of lavender gourmet treats like chocolates, lavender soda, miniature cakes, and drink mixes.

Rose Gold And Eucalyptus Bridal Shower

J’aime Events did a lovely job of designing this gorgeous Rose Gold And Eucalyptus Bridal Shower.  Simple yet charming, each decoration for the event reflected the beauty and joy of the upcoming nuptials to perfection. The venue was absolutely stunning, with high ceilings and massive windows that displayed a pretty view for all of the guests to enjoy looking at.  

With such big windows the lighting in the room was superb, all of the decor was light and elegant, creating a sweet and inviting vibe throughout the venue. There was even cozy seating on fantastic white furniture for everyone, giving the group a comfortable option for visiting together. 

A snack table was set up to the side with the large window as a wonderful backdrop.  To enhance the look and incorporate the theme, a cute hoop with eucalyptus was hung in front of the window. This table was set up buffet style so the guests could easily serve themselves.  Delightful truffles were frosted in different ways to add color and variety.  There were also adorable little gift boxes for the guests to take home set to the side on this table. 

The cake was a beauty with dark and light frosting blended together on the exterior.  It had a gorgeus rose bloom on top and eucalyptus as well.  A tasty range of beverages was offered as well in elegant champagne glasses.

To emphasize the reason for this lovely gathering, a custom graphic was made and framed in white to match this elegant theme beautifully. It read, “Pop the Bubbly She is Getting a Hubby,” in lovely lettering.

A wonderful idea used for this party were little recipe cards that were added to the invitations encouraging guests to write out their favorite meals for the bride so she could start off her collection.
