A bridal shower with a woodland theme is whimsical, romantic, and full of nostalgia for the bride-to-be to share with her closest loved ones. A party filled with handmade crowns of stick twine and ribbon, flowy white dresses, and bare feet on soft grass is a relaxing and happy way to celebrate the beauty of becoming a wife. A woodland party theme mixes the best of bohemian style with shabby chic elegance and all the gorgeous details that nature has to offer. Get the invitations with beautiful images of white birch trees ready to send out to all the guests because this is a truly memorable way to throw a bridal shower.

A brunch or afternoon time is perfect for a woodland shower, especially because you’ll want to set this up outdoors. Tables draped in ivory tablecloths with distressed wooden chairs and deep brown silk chair sashes are a beautiful way to set the mood for your woodland color palate. Create table centerpieces of twigs, berries, and wildflowers, while using faux wooden plates and bowls for guests to eat on. Frosted mason jars personalized for guest favors are wonderful to use for beverages during the party, whether the guests are drinking champagne or pink lemonade. Set out bowls of cedar chips to further add a scent of a true forest to the party space. Use as much wooden décor as you can when it comes to accents, servingware, and even the main event table. Natural and organic type foods are what you want to go with when it comes to the assortment on your main event table and a simple, albeit sweet shower cake. Angelfood with strawberries, or a smaller, richer chocolate tart cake like tiramisu are beloved options.

It’s important to remember that no matter what food or décor you decide on with your woodland themed party, you want to go for a lighter, serene atmosphere that is full of femininity and all things pretty, natural, and of the woodlands.

Everyone loves at least one kind of tea, so make sure you have plenty of options. Classic tea tins in pastel colors filled with all sorts of teas makes for a beautiful and easy set-up. Drape tables in white lace tablecloths and use old teakettles as the home for pale pink roses or white hydrangeas. Post up paper pom poms and clothespins of photos of the bride and groom. Have tables set with china plates, tea cups and saucers, and vintage gold silverware. Hang up cloth ribbon tassels in more pastel hues and create a backdrop with well wishes for the bride behind the main food table. A simple cake in mint frosting with a teacup topper surrounded by teacups of all sizes filled with jellybeans, fruit, lorna doone cookies, and vanilla wafers look gorgeous and taste absolutely brilliant with the tea itself. Tea sandwiches with flavors such as cucumbers and scones with spreads of hazelnut, cocoa, and blackberry jam are perfect brunch fare as well.

Favors and activities can be just as easy to put together with the tea party theme as well. Obviously, elegantly packaged tea bins, or even tea cup sets are great ideas for guest gifts. Games for guests should be light and fun, so opt for a bridal bingo, or a spill the tea activity in which guests answer questions about the bride.

Paris is the ultimate city of romance, so there is no better theme for a bridal shower celebrating a lifetime of love to come. Mixing the cultural iconic staples of Paris with the beautiful atmosphere the city holds can make any bridal shower feel full of love, luxury, and a truly special day for the future bride and her guests. Invitations should be ultra posh, with a Paris symbol as a main image, so think Eiffel Tower, French wine, lingerie, or the Bridge of Love Locks.

Paris is all about images of beauty, lights, and plenty of tasty fares, so whether you choose to have your bridal shower indoors or out, string up plenty of fairy light strands, and get plenty of Eiffel Tower accessories and croissants ready. Make French 75 cocktails for the guests and serve in champagne flutes with Eiffel Tower glass charms for the guests to keep. Drape lace tablecloth along the tables and use silver Eiffel Tower replicas for centerpieces. Red roses are the perfect flowers for the occasion and seamlessly blend with the Parisian theme. Garlands of fancy poodles and balloons with rhinestone accents offer that eccentric Paris flair.

Parisian Bridal Shower Food

Food for a Parisian bridal shower is all about rich taste, so opt for lots of dark chocolates, thickly frosted cupcakes, ganache cakepops, colorful macaroons, and even a chocolate fountain with lots of fruits. Pastries and tea sandwiches, or anything you would find in a French café are definitely go-to’s for saltier foods. For bridal gifts, encourage guests to give the bride lingerie as a new bride, because this fits in perfectly with a Parisian bridal party theme.

Parisian Bridal Shower Games

Don’t forget fun bridal shower games such as toilet paper wedding dress contests, or even an activity that stays within the theme, such as famous Parisian phrases about love.

For a brunch bridal shower celebration, an outdoor garden is the perfect setting. It’s magical, whimsical, and romantic, and it can almost seem like a miniature version of the upcoming wedding itself. Hanging white lanterns, fairy lights, and plenty of floral pieces with roses, peonies, and tulips, having an outdoor garden bridal shower is a lovely way to share joy with the bride-to-be.

Bridal Shower Decorations

Drape tables in floral lavender tablecloths and fill rustic silver vases of all sizes with every type and color of garden flower you can get your hands on. Turn burlap pieces into chair sashes and play classical music throughout the event for the ultimate feel of serenity. Sprinkle flower petals along table tops, the grass, and just about everywhere you can think of. You just can’t have enough flowers for a garden bridal shower! Chinese umbrellas with cherry blossom designs and place settings of copper mason jar cups and matching ivory tableware complete the look of where your guests will enjoy their brunch. Have a white, multi-tiered cake with flower garnishments on the main event table and string up plenty of floral garland as a backdrop. Cakepops in the shape of bright flowers, sugar cookies with thick ganache frosting, and miniature cupcakes with butterfly toppers all tie together the magical garden aspect of the bridal shower. Also make sure to have an assortment of plenty of fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and herb crackers on platters, along with pink Moscato and lemonade.

Set up an activity to have guests paint little flower pots for the bride, and send the guests home with favors that are little bags of flower seeds. Bridal bingo or cards in which guests fill out “What will make the bride and groom’s love continue to grow?” are wonderful ideas for activities and games that everyone really can get into.

Mint is an extremely popular hue and this makes it a particularly clever and beautiful thing to tie into a bridal shower. By mixing this gorgeous shade of color with the lovely thought of marriage and romance, you get a splendid party theme in form of a “Mint to Be” bridal shower!

Start with the main event table and post up a huge backdrop sign that reads “Mint to Be” in (of course) the color mint, surrounded by DIY tissue paper puff accents in shades like pink and coral. While you can’t have too much mint, you want to add a touch of depth by scattering complementing colors here and there. Have several bowls of all types of different mint candies available, from peppermint wheels to Andes chocolate mints to soft dinner mints. Set up a small coffee bar that boasts mint hot chocolate and peppermint mocha for the guests to enjoy. You can be as equally creative with cocktails by offering Mint Juleps or Mojitos.

IchabodsImagination

Mint tablecloths with white runners, glittering mint-colored lights and hanging door tassels, and polka dot mint balloons are perfect décor for the bridal shower. Spray paint large mason jars mint shade and fill them with plush white and pink flowers for breathtaking centerpieces. Hang up letter garland with the bride’s name in mint and coral colors, and utilize burlap fabric as placemats or chair bows. Burlap pairs wonderfully with the color of mint. Don’t forget to incorporate plenty of heart cutouts in—you guessed it—the shade of mint!
