Parisian Bridal Shower

If you can’t fly everyone you know to Paris to celebrate a wedding to come, what better way than to bring the fun of Paris to them? This fantastic bridal shower took all sorts of Parisian elements and created a sophisticated celebration for the bride to be to love.  Photographed stunningly by Elizabeth of Elizabeth in Love, every delicious detail was captured to perfection, giving the bride a lasting way to remember her special day.

The bride to be, Alicia and her sister Cristina took the wheel with this event, handling the fantastic decorations from top to bottom. The venue chosen was a wonderful choice for the classy and fashion-forward Paris theme with massive, elegant light fixtures and light-toned floors, walls and ceiling.

Round tables were used to create a cozy seating option for the guests and the tables were beautifully detailed.  Silver covers for each table draped all the way to the floor, giving an elegant vibe. The chairs matched perfectly. The centerpieces for each table added to the decor with a natural touch.  Pretty vases held arrangements of flowers in soft shades of pink and white, complementing the decor without taking over the room.

So of the small details that brought this event a unique look included an ornately framed note saying, “Alicia Bride to Be” in a lovely font. Other touches included a tall Eiffel tower wrapped in a string of pretty flowers, glass slippers, and even a little mannequin wearing strings of pearls.

The snacks all blended with the theme seamlessly with soft colors and tasty looking detailing. Sugar cookies shaped as wedding dresses were all perfectly placed on a tray, little martini glasses with a tasty treat beckoned with dollops of cream on top. And no party is complete without yummy macarons to munch on. Every part of this event was executed to perfection, ensuring a one-of-a-kind celebration to enjoy.

One fantastic touch used for this party was the ladies who attended themselves, all adorned in black besides the pretty bride-to-be who, of course, stole the show in a gorgeous white dress.  All were perfectly decked out in shimmering jewelry, ensuring that the event would exude sophistication and fun.

The venue was stunning, a massive room with a stage for all of the entertaining. Each table was covered in a black cloth as well as the chairs, creating a uniform look that stood out. Silver was used to add a bright and elegant touch to all of the decor. The chairs were wrapped in giant silver sashes, silver chargers were placed in front of each guests seat, even silver runners went down the center of every table.

Adorable little gift boxes were prepared for the guests, round vibrant pink beauties tied with sheer black ribbons and topped with a cute flower.

The desserts were spectacular in their detailing, mini cupcakes frosted in white and pink and topped with flowers of the opposite color.  They were set on an elegant tiered tray, making it simple for guests to grab and go. Cookies were frosted in white and lined in pink, making each look like a wedding dress, giving an adorable effect.

The cake was a vision of perfection with three layers of classic beauty that was topped with a pink and black purse and of course, a black high-heel. Wrapped in jewels and detailed in bold pink, this cake was sure to impress.

Mixing tribal looks with whimsical, romantic colors is a an imaginative way to dress up the party venue, so think of a color palate that consists of soft browns like toffee, caramel, and chocolate hues merged with baby pinks, blues, greens, pale yellows, and lavender. Drape guest tables in dark brown cloths with gold runners and lay out centerpieces of rustic vases filled with orange lilies. String up garland of teepee and colorful feather cutouts and string up tons of glittering green garland as if you’re in the beautiful spring outdoors. Have beautiful headdresses at each table setting for guests to wear throughout the party for an extra dose of fun. Bouquets of feathers placed around the venue serve as a beautiful accent. Don’t forget a big backdrop proclaiming congratulation messages to the future bride as well.

Food can be as equally as creative as the decorations and can blend natural foods kept in theme with the tribal motif and sweet and delectable treats that are a sight to see. Sugar cookies in the shape of feathers, thickly frosted cupcakes with glittery toppers, and a multi-tiered bridal shower cake with sugar fondant wigwam and tribal princess accents are examples of yummy treats to include in your main food table. Nuts, fruits, veggies, and different types of fresh bakery bread are great for guests to munch on and enjoy with an array of organic spreads like jams, cheeses, and marmalades.

Tribal | Boho Bridal Shower Games

Games and activities should consist of classic and themed elements alike. Bridal Bingo and Bachelorette Mad Libs are always a good choice, while setting up activities like making tribal headdresses, dream catcher making, clay pottery, or jewelry is something guests can really get engaged in and can take home as a wonderful favor from the party. Speaking of favors, some fantastic ideas for gift favors include feather photo frames, bejeweled compacts, faux tribal temporary tattoos, or manicure sets with tribal colored nail polishes. Wrap all these goodies up in a themed bag or box that is imaginatively decorated with geometric jewels.

Falling in Love Bridal Shower Decor

When putting together decorations for a “Falling in Love” bridal shower, remember to keep your color palate bright and warm—and definitely don’t forget the all-too-familiar autumn scents of pumpkin, spices, and apples, both in food and from scented pillar candles on tall silver candle holders or leaf shaped bowls of potpourri. Tables draped in gold and chocolate colored linens and settings with bronze goblets and matching tableware are as romantic as they are beautiful. Floral arrangements of dried flowers mixed with deep red roses look breathtaking all over the party venue as centerpieces or as garland hanging over doorways and looped around tables. Orange and silver balloons tied in bunches with white ribbon and temporary wall decals of trees and falling leaves are especially gorgeous, along with twinkling fairy lights strung up everywhere. You can even have twig and floral wreaths for guests to wear during the party, which really increases the interaction and airy feel.

Falling in Love Bridal Shower Food

There should be a couple of main tables that house all the delicious food and drinks, and you can start with the main even cake. A double-tiered cake in an ombre of colors that represent the fall season (reds, oranges, yellows, and browns) and a cake topper that portrays congratulation messages to the bride to be is a fabulous ode to the upcoming happy nuptials.

Simple sugar cookies in the shapes of leaves, pumpkin replicated cake pops, orange frosted brownies, and pumpkin spice cupcakes are all tasty additions that can be served on rustic silver or bronze platters.

Yummy drinks of spiked hot cider, hot chocolate, and dark wines are a wonderful idea for the beverage table. For actual meal food, you might consider soups such as pumpkin or tomato with grilled sandwiches and warm roasted nuts such as almonds or pecans. You also might even consider setting up a separate station for different kinds of miniature pies for guests to try and enjoy.

Activities can be really creative and fun for an autumn themed bridal shower. You can set up an activity for carving pumpkins or a loud game of bobbing for apples. Give favors to your guests in the form of prizes or reminiscent of a fall festival in which guests have to “fish” over a wall in order to catch onto their autumn bag of goodies. Favors such as autumn scented candles, leaf designed candle holders or dishtowels, and gourmet treats such as pumpkin pastries and pralines are delightful all wrapped up in a velvet bag that guests can take home with them.

Disney Bridal Shower Decorations

Decoration ideas are aplenty, so don’t let yourself get overwhelmed when trying to figure out how to put it all together. A great place to start are with sheers. Find ivory, white, blush pink, and baby blue sheer curtains and hang them up draped and flowing along doorways, walls, ceilings, chairs, tables, and just about anywhere you can think of. This gives the entire event venue a dreamy feel that Disney evokes in all of us. Have tons of garlands of cutouts in the shapes of tiaras, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella, while pinning up bigger displays on walls of Mulan, Tiana, Merida, and Elsa. Lace pale pink ribbon and sapphire streamers all across the party space and tie big, purple bows on the backs of guest chairs. Drape tables in satin gold tablecloths with centerpieces of pearlescent white vases filled with deep red roses and whims of Babies Breath. Wall decals of magic mirrors and chandelier silhouettes make a remarkable look for the party, while crystal drops of all sizes placed in as many spots as you can manage make gorgeous little details. Have a huge backdrop with the outline of the Disney castle and the bride to be’s name in huge glittering letters right behind the main food table.
