Black and White Bridal Shower Ideas

When putting together a lovely bridal shower, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Keeping your themed color palate in line with black and white ensures an easy set-up and limitless options for decorations and food. Black and white also offers an air of sophistication and elegance, which is exactly what every bride wishes to feel on her wedding day. Something as simple as black and white damask patterned invitations helps to immediately set the mood for a fabulous bridal shower before the guests even arrive.

Have interchanging black and white solid tablecloths on every table, with a complimenting white or black vase on each that will house your floral centerpieces (think a popping color such as red roses). Keeping this pattern with the main table décor palate adds dimension and intrigue to the bridal shower’s look. Backdrops of black and white sashes, balloons with black and white polka dots, or black and white wall decals of swirl patterns are all amazing decorations for a black and white bridal shower. What’s great about the black and white motif is that it’s crisp and not overwhelming, which means the main focus won’t be taken off the guest of honor—the bride.

A multi-tiered shower cake in white with tall, glittery black feathers for a topper and corresponding black heart fondants on the face of the cake is truly elegant as it is delicious. Food served on gleaming pearl or ebony platters and stands is perfect and can again be interchanged however works best. Have fun with patterns and textures when mixing up black and white as well, such as checkered cupcakes, swirled brownies, chocolate dipped Oreos, or marshmallows with black heart shaped sprinkles. You can also do cakepops that are in the images of a bride and groom with their black bowties and white veils.

Put fake beehives in the center of each guest table to house your flower arrangements of white and yellow daisies or something similar.

Obviously you’ll want to bring honey flavors into as much as your party food as you can, so opt for honey cocktails with actual honeycombs as garnishes, cakepops in the shape of honeycombs themselves, detailed sugar cookies in the shapes of honey bees and pooh bear, and even honey flavored hard candies in containers that look like bee keeper boxes.

Woodland Themed Bridal Shower Ideas

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.

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.
