Mason Jars Bridal Decorations

Mason jar decorations are so much fun because you can do so many different things with them. From burlap cutout streamers of mason jar shapes to miniature glass mason jars strung up with lights. Place bigger glass mason jars with coils of fairy lights in them around the venue and watch the space transform into magic! Table centerpieces of gold and silver spray painted mason jars filled with white and blue hydrangeas resting on shabby chic toile lace are absolutely gorgeous, while balloons with images of the shapes of mason jars drawn on them add a whimsical look. Your invitations that you send out to guests can even be in the shapes of pastel mason jars with firefly bejeweled accents to get everyone excited about such a neat party. When decorating, the most important thing to remember is that you can never have too many mason jars!

Mason Jars Bridal Shower Food

A flat sheet cake in the shape of a bit mason jar decorated in lots of piped frosting and happy congratulation messages for the bride to be is a perfect center for the main food table. Sugar cookies with thick, colorful frosting in all different sizes in the image of mason jars are especially delightful, while a tiered platter of cupcakes with bouncing mason jar toppers are a yummy addition. Don’t forget to—of course—use mason jars as your serving ware! We aren’t just talking about for beverages, either! Serve candies and cakepops in mason jars painted in a variety of shades, along with nuts, chips, and other handheld snacks. Don’t forget signature drinks that go splendidly in mason jars traditionally such as Moscow Mules, Ginger Beer, or root beer floats!

Mason Jars Bridal Shower Games

Games and activities can range from classic bridal shower games such as Bridal Bingo to setting up an extra special event in which guests can paint and decorate their very own mason jars at craft tables. Have guests put wishes for the bride to be on little slips of paper and drop in a beautifully decorated mason jar that the bride herself can keep forever.

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower Ideas

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower Invitations

One of the most beloved and popular décor schemes of today is the shabby chic look, and there is hardly anything more romantic when picking a motif for a bridal shower. A shabby chic bridal shower event embodies romance, femininity, and nostalgic imagination all in one, and when you stand back and look at everything once you’ve set this party up, one word will come to mind—pretty. And what’s better for a bride to be than something exquisitely pretty?!

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower Decors

There are practically a million different ways to decorate for a shabby chic bridal shower, but there are some key elements to it to help you get started. Burlap, mason jars, sweet lighting, soft colors and fabrics, rustic detail, and an under-exaggerated simplicity are all you need to make it all come together perfectly. Shabby chic is definitely not a complicated look, but it still manages to be extremely classy and elegant. Start with burlap bows on chairs and likewise runners on ivory cotton tablecloths. Create centerpieces of pale blue and pink hydrangeas in silver pails and set out placemats of white doily. Drape champagne hued lace along the main event table and line doorways with garland of pinecones. Flag banners with the bride to be’s name and pieces of distressed furniture and accessories are excellent additions. String up low lighting and have plenty of tea candles as well. You can do matching tableware in the form of china and distressed silver which really ties the whole shabby chic look all together.

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower Food

Food should be simple and light, yet gleefully delicious. Think a simple, two-tiered cake with minimal frosting and a simple topper of a unique candle. Set up a brunch table with scones, coffee and tea, danishes, and pastries, and complete this with plenty of jams, fruits, and one of a kind spreads. Small sandwich triangles that boast veggie fillings, and turkey pinwheels are especially easy and tasty to eat. Fill copper painted mason jars with different kind of candies such as yogurt covered raisins, jelly beans, and wafers. For beverages, mimosas and peach bellinis really pair brilliantly with these brunch types of food. For added richness, have sea salt and caramel cookies, or vanilla bean frosted brownies available, too.

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower Games

Shabby chic represents a feel of arts and crafts, so you can really get your guests involved in activities that do this. Set up a painting activity, one that reinvents a small piece of furniture, a lamp shade, or a teacup. Give your guests a chance to give this to the bride or to take it home as a souvenir.

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower Favors

Fill coffee mugs with chocolate covered coffee beans as favors, or tie up a burlap bag with a bottle of vintage wine as a majorly awesome keepsake for guests. Regardless of what you send home with everyone, the only thing more beautiful and magical than this shabby chic bridal shower party will be the wedding itself.

Papel Picado Banners and / or Green and orange streamers and garlands of miniature sombreros pair wonderfully with pepper string lights, while a huge backdrop with big, cursive letters congratulating the bride to be looks amazing behind the main food table. Have the guests wrap gifts in fiesta themed paper and bows, and have sombrero hats and mustache straws awaiting guests at their dining seats to wear during the party and take home with them after.

Fiesta Bridal Shower Food

For food, you want your guests to feel as though they stepped into an authentic Mexican restaurant, so be prepared to fill their bellies! Set up a taco and fajita bar for guests to load up all their favorite toppings such as peppers, meats, cheeses, and veggies.

Yellow Bird Daisy Bridal Shower

It is always wonderful when the weather cooperates and parties can be thrown outdoors in the bright sun. This lovely shower celebrating a sweet bride-to-be used yellow to represent her cheery disposition, outdoors where the light could create a natural brightness to the entire venue. With exquisite photography by Katee Grace, each moment was captured with brilliant clarity.

An adorable “Here Comes the Bride” welcome sign was placed out front with handwriting on a chalkboard so all of the guests would know they were at the right spot.

Out in the yard the table was set up family style, ensuring a warm and cozy atmosphere. Taking advantage of a fantastic tree overhanging the yard, cute little paper bells were hung on bright yellow crimped strings, filling the area with theme-based art.

The table cover had a sweet yellow polka dots and white poms that made a wonderful base for the bright yellow and white daisies that ran along the length of the whole thing. They were set in glasses and slim vases to give a neat effect. The chairs matched the look with a classic white color. Each place setting had a napkin that was tied off with little daisy decorations.

Delicious foods were offered like fresh fruit salad, so the guests could all enjoy a little something. Each item had a personalized tag to add to the theme while letting everyone know what there was to try. Each bit of venue was decorated to match the yellow theme perfectly.

One adorable decoration that was definitely one-of-a-kind were little yellow birds made of metal. They had a vintage-style with little daisy eyes that looked fantastic. To finish them off, each had a daisy placed on top. Theses were set with the beverages, giving a bold yellow touch to the look.

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Bridal Shower

Using the whimsical fun of the classic Alice in Wonderland, hosts Susan and Dawn created a magical experience for their best friend’s daughter’s celebration. Chrystal Cienfuegos Photography captured this event in exquisite detailing. A favorite section of the tale brings Alice to a mad tea party, which was used for this wonderful theme. With a blend of fabulous colors and all sorts of eclectic decor, this party was certain to be a blast!

The innovation with the decorations was outstanding. A sign was made with arrows pointing in all directions with fun little words and each was painted in different colors with fun pictures of flowers and butterflies to add a soft touch. The bold display of colors everywhere really made this event one of a kind. Each bit of decor had it’s own unique look, giving a fantastic imaginative effect.

One guest table was covered with a deep purple cloth, so the white tea set stood out marvelously along with the bright napkins and flowers. A fun centerpiece with flowers stood in the center very tall so the guests could still easily see each other when sitting. It was decorated with fun little dangling strands for a neat look. All sorts of chairs were used, giving that eccentric look that we all associate with the Mad hatter’s tea party. And no Alice adventure would be complete without an assortment of clocks around!.

Other fun details included beverages tagged with little notes saying “Drink” in vintage style fonts and food with tags saying “Eat” to match. Giant colorful poms hung from the ceiling to fill the room with the vibrant tones. For a delicious treat a two-layer cake was made and decorated to match the tea party theme splendidly. It had red diamonds around the bottom layer and a neat little handle and steam decoration on the top layer.
