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. burlap-and-lace-bridal-shower-games-package-download-bs173-shabby-chic-rustic floral-watercolor-bridal-shower-game-package-bs138 pink-floral-bridal-shower-games-package-watercolor-bs176 shabby-chic-bridal-shower-games-black-stripes-peonies-florals-bs150

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.

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.
