Winter (Christmas) Bridal Shower Ideas

Sometimes milestone life events can fall around the time of the holidays, and this makes for the perfect pairing of a fabulous way to celebrate just about anything. When you combine the beauty and whimsical ambience of winter, and the classic traditional feel of Christmas cheer, you can throw the most unforgettable event. A winter/Christmas bridal shower is full of fun and plenty of cheer—and you’ll never fall short on ideas or decorations!

Gather up an assortment of faux snow-dusted wreaths, mistletoe, miniature Christmas trees, and garland. This will pair perfectly with the pops of red that winter berries offer as décor and a sweet treat. Set up your guest tables with centerpieces of candle-filled jars that boast toile lace and wintery pine cones. Mix that look with guest name cards fit on maroon napkins with a mini wreath accent. Use fresh pine twigs, cinnamon sticks, and twine to create tons of looks for décor that stays perfectly in theme. Serve all food and beverage on beautiful log slices, and create copper mule inspired cocktails and charcuterie boards that are one of a kind. Don’t forget twinkling fairy lights and yummy scented candles to set the perfect scene for this Winter bridal shower. And of course, you can’t forget to send your guests off with a memorable favor or two, wrapped up with pretty winter bows and a cluster of happy mistletoe.

Moroccan Bridal Shower

This visually stunning Moroccan Bridal Shower was perfectly captured into eternity with the skill of Madison Rylee the party photographer. Every stunning detail was a work of pure perfection, creating a stunning special event for the bride-to-be. 

Ornate decorations were infused into each section of the party, giving a cultured style that was as elegant as it was precise. A fantastic piece of window art welcomed the guests in an adorable calligraphy style, introducing the theme very sweetly. 

The party was held outdoors on a vibrant day, allowing natural lighting to make each color of the theme to pop brilliantly. A large board with Moroccan graphics made a lovely backdrop for group photos. 

A cute little booze cart was set up with tasty wine for the guests to enjoy along with adorable decorates including “Rose Babe” spelled out in red box letters. 

A special table was set out for the guests to each write down their favorite memories of the bride, while not disclosing their identity so she would have to guess who wrote each one. This table was backed with a sweet little rack of photos of the bride through her childhood. 

For the guest seating, refurbished pallets created the perfect low style table and throw pillows in a variety of styles were used for comfortable seating. The table had cute centerpieces with flowers and greenery to give a natural look. 

Desserts were simple and sweet with cookies and cake for everyone to enjoy. The two layer cake was marvelously decorated in vibrant orange red tones, marble style on top and ornately detailed on the bottom. This was set on an elegant cake tray that was jeweled around the entire section too.
