Hearts and Cookies Rustic Bridal Shower

What better way to celebrate love than Hearts and Cookies? SWEET SITUATION used some of the bride-to-be’s favorite things to create a sweet Heart and Cookie Rustic Bridal Shower party. With a gorgeous mixture of decorations and treats, the venue was marvelous looking.

One wonderful idea used for this shower were the invitations. Instead of the classic prints on paper, little tea bags were printed with the invitations, providing a fabulous way to bring the guests in. The party was designed to be a tea party, so using these invites was perfect.

The dessert table was inspiring with all sorts of little touches that came together in a wonderful way. A huge heart created from greenery and blooms was hung on the wall as a backdrop, introducing the theme very sweetly. The table used was a long wooden delight covered in a vintage lace cover, ensuring that the venue had a vintage feel to it. On the table a stack of classic books made a great addition, holding a delicious plate of treats. Flowers were spread throughout the table between tasty snacks to add a natural touch and soft color. They went beautifully with the tea dishes that had lovely floral prints on them.

The variety of desserts available was great, from fruit tarts to sugar cookies, there was something for everyone to try out. There were even macarons and cupcakes to enjoy. The real stunner on this table however, was the cake. Layers upon layers of scrumptious chocolate and vanilla, this cake was a towering display of beauty. Blending with the theme brilliantly, it was topped with a giant Love sugar cookie and decorated with baby’s breath and other pretty flowers. It was placed on an elegant tall cake tray, ensuring that it would stand out dramatically.

Something Blue Bridal Shower Ideas

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed

A bridal shower is a magical time of celebrating a bride marrying her one true love, and what better way to make this even memorable than to give it a classic and romantically traditional theme. The most well-known saying regarding nuptials is “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” and most brides still incorporate this tradition into their wedding day. Send out those Tiffany blue invitations and get the bride and all her guests excited for a classically delightful bridal shower!

Something Blue Decors

For decorations, posing up signs and chalkboards displaying the age-old saying “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue!” is a fun and happy way to get everyone on board with the awesome party motif. Have accents displayed that are heirlooms from the bride or groom’s parents or grandparents to represent “something old” and post up a clothesline of photos of the bride and groom as “something new”. Get the guests involved by asking them to bring one of each of the sayings: old, new, borrowed, and blue for the bride to keep! Incorporate plenty of soft, bridal blues into the décor with tablecloths, runners, backdrops, and plenty of flowery garland and balloons. White flowers make great floral centerpieces, while burlap and jewels bring in whimsical and elegant feel to the party space.

Something Blue Food

For food, you can really be creative here. From beautifully adorned desserts that look almost too pretty to eat to classic family recipes, you can create a setup that the bride and all of her guests are taken by. The bridal shower cake can be a tiered blue one or it can be a sheet cake with a screened sugar photo of the bride and her mother and grandmother. Serve desserts on white porcelain platters with food labels that boast an old timey cursive font. Frosted blue cupcakes with pearl accents, apothecary jars full of Jordan almonds, and towers of pastel hued macaroons are gorgeous additions for the sweet tooth. The perfect beverage station could consist of mimosas and pink lemonade, while saltier fares could range from tea sandwiches to old recipes from generations past.

Game & Favor Ideas

Party games can also be delightfully diverse, with old games like Bridal Bingo or newer games with hilarious Truth or Dare for the bride. You can even have a storytime in which each guests shares an old memory of herself and the bride. Party favors can be given as prizes for these games and activities, or you can make burlap goodie bags full of gourmet treats. You can even fill a party favor box full of gifts that represent each of the four: old, new, borrowed, and blue. The guests and bride are sure to remember this bridal shower forever.

With the Tiffany Blue and white colors for the theme, all of the decorations had a sweet and elegant look. The venue chosen was large and bright, allowing the decorations to stand out with lots of natural lighting.

Tables were set up in rows, making it easy to get in and out when needed. Each one was covered in a lovely Tiffany Blue cloth that draped down low to the ground. The chairs were all white, blending with the theme perfectly. A special chair was decorated just for the VIP with lovely white fabric draped beautifully over it along with a little bling to make it Tiffany style. The centerpieces for the guest tables were phenomenal, brilliantly thought up displays of jewelry on mini-mannequins, giving a taste of style all on top of a round mirror for a full effect. To complete the centerpiece, each one had a framed number so the guests would know which table they were seated at. To finish the look at these tables, lovely displays of flowers were arranged on each end and each table setting had a beautiful Tiffany style box waiting for them.

A delicious treat table was set-up right in front of a fantastic golden, antique style mirror. Covered in a wonderful sequin and tulle blend of fabrics, this table had a flair of flash that was sure to be enjoyed. The dishware used to hold all the snacks was decorated to match the theme smoothly. Each one was wrapped with Tiffany Blue ribbon and bling.

Bubbles & Bliss Wedding Shower

Glamour and elegance were the top qualities that stood out from this fantastic Bubbles and Bliss for the Future Mr. and Mrs. extravaganza! Amy of Le Reve Designer Rentals used her impressive skill to create a memory for this couple that was sure to last.

Right off the bat as guests entered the sophisticated venue, a massive chalkboard sign welcomed everyone to the lovely event in a calligraphy styled message saying, “Welcome to Bubbles & Bliss for the Future Mr. and Mrs.” It was framed in silver, giving it a finished look. Set on an ornate stand, it was easy to see this sign.

The details of the decor at this party were outstanding. A classic vibe stood out with fantastic vintage lamps, frames and more. A gift table was set-up with a lovely golden cloth that gave a sophisticated touch, while an old typewriter and gorgeously framed photos gave a touch of a classic style.

The guest tables were styled to match the gift table with a golden cover and fun gold and black styled activities to participate in like “How well do you know the bride and groom?” Lovely centerpieces of greenery added a touch of color to the tables without overtaking the scene.

An inspirational idea used to set this party apart from others was a table set up to allow the guests to create their very own take home bag! This allowed each visitor to get a genuine thank-you that they were sure to enjoy.

A yummy bar was arranged for everyone to get some yummy candy at as well, taking care of that sweet tooth! This table was set with the same golden cloth as the the others and all of the stands used to hold the treats had fantastic vintage qualities that stood out.

Tiffany Inspired Bridal Shower

Nothing says sophistication like Audrey Hepburn so a Tiffany Inspired Bridal Shower was sure to be a hit when planned by the wonderful Time2Partay! Using a blend of silver, black, white and teal, this event had a classic vibe that guests were sure to love.

To invite all of the wonderful guests a fantastic invitation was made in teal, black and white with a lovely curly font that was sure to draw interest.

The dessert table created for the party was absolutely stunning. A backdrop was made using black panels to each side of a smooth, sheer white one, making an outstanding setting for the massive picture of the gorgeous bride-to-be. The photo was styled in true Tiffany fashion with a well-known Audrey pose and filtered in black and white. The frame for the picture was an ornately detailed vision of vintage wonder, painted in black for a fitting look.

Shimmering in silver, the table had a perfect cover that draped gracefully to the floor, giving that elegant feel that all Tiffany parties should have. All of the trays and stands used for the desserts matched the theme perfectly with a classic style, and most were white so they stood out deliciously.

For decor on the table adorable votives were placed in clear holders to add a fun touch to the table. In the back boxes held little trees that would have been bare except for the lovely strings of pearls that they were covered lavishly in. The trees were set in boxes that were decorated to look like the classic Tiffany’s ones.

The treats were all quite tasty looking from the little marshmallows on sticks to decadent donuts topped with crafted diamonds to make them look like rings. Rather than a traditional cake, a fantastic array of mini cakes were laid out to look like Tiffany’s boxes underneath a deliciously large one.
