Butterfly Bridal Shower Decor

What’s especially great about this theme is that you really can’t overdo it on the amount of butterflies you bring into the décor, food, games, or favors. You can even wrap up the bride’s gifts in butterfly themed paper and set her up an area for gift opening that replicates a wild butterfly garden. You can do tons of your own paper cutouts of butterflies in all sizes and tape them up along walls, tables, chairs, doorways, and even create neat garland out of them. Keep your color palate for decorations just as charming, and stick with glossy whites, pastel pinks, sky blues, and butter yellow. You can utilize these hues in balloons, streamers, flag banners showcasing congratulations messages to the bride-to-be, tablecloths, chair sashes, and the color of the faux butterfly accent as well. Don’t forget sweet table accents such as glittering butterfly confetti and vases filled with gorgeous river rock and a variety of garden blooms that butterflies would be known to love.

For food fare, opt for decadent and visually beautiful tastes. Make the center of your main event table the shower cake, and think about doing a multi-tiered cake with rainbow ombre icing and lots of butterfly sugar accents, along with a great topper with “I do!” spelled out in miniature butterflies. Sugar cookies and cupcakes with thick, colorful frosting and bouncing butterfly decorations. Pearlescent cakepops and corresponding treats like flower shaped candies are delicious and a really great extra for guests to enjoy. Pink lemonade and peach Bellini’s, along with fresh veggie plates and tea sandwiches are just as delicious and pair great with the desserts.

Sew in Love Decorations

Decorations should be a mixture of handmade goodies and more efficient items alike. You definitely won’t have the time to sew and crochet tons of garland or wall pin-ups, and the good news is, there are tons of printables out there that mock the look of a sewn decoration piece splendidly! Circle and flag banners that look as though you sewed the letters and designs in, party signs, and even labels are all printable to look super authentic. Another awesome décor idea is to have eclectic pieces sitting around the venue that represent the theme, such as a vintage sewing machine, needle point supplies, and tassels and garland made of colorful strands of yarn. Incorporate hearts and photos of the bride and groom to be all throughout your decorations as well. Floral arrangements of simple, yet pretty flowers like poppies or roses are a must for all the tables, too.

Food is a fun staple for the event that you can really have a ball with putting together. Think brunch type food with lots of sweet flavors for an event like this. Have croissants and English muffins set out with an assortment of jams, jellies, and spreads, and make deliciously sweet filled, fluffy biscuits. Cookies, brownies, and cakepops should be offered with the theme incorporated, giving icing needle and thread designs, or shapes of spools of golden thread. The cake is the best part to put out, as you can get super detailed with this. A multi-tiered cake in soft pink frosting with sugar fondant detailing of buttons, pins, and hearts, complete with a threaded bridal topper is a perfect event cake. Lemonade or mimosas are a great beverage to have on hand, and be sure to serve them in mason jar glassware.

Sew in Love Bridal Games

Activities can be just about anything for this bridal event, whether you opt for classic bridal shower games such as Bridal Bingo, or if you go for something more interactive, such as a small sewing activity. A great idea for this “Sew in Love” theme is to have a sewing or crafty activity planned out for your guests to do, and each gets to keep their cute creation as an extra special party favor to take home with them and keep forever.

A bridal shower is one of the best days for a bride before her big wedding day, as she gets to spend time celebrating the love for her new groom with all her best girlfriends.

“Tying the Knot” is an age old expression that everyone knows and it’s something a bride-to-be here’s time and again before she gets married. This phrase is so “tied” to the event of marriage that it actually makes it a perfect theme for a bridal shower. You can do so much with this play on words theme and that’s a great thing, as it gives you tons of options for decorations, food, and playtime. Here is the only time you can mix knotted pretzels with knotted anchor ropes, so get your creative juices flowing because this will be an event that the bride and her favorite people will truly love.

Tying the Knot Decorations

As for the décor of the shower, one thing is for certain—be sure to feature the “tied knot” in as many places, shapes, and forms as you can throughout the party space. Signs and banners that read “Tying the Knot” are perfect to set up the atmosphere for the event, as is ceilings lined with a neat type of knotted rope garland. You can pretty much turn anything into a signature “tied knot”, so have fun with your creations. Fairy light strands can be intertwined along the walls, faux anchors can be hung from knotted rope along the doorways or even the backs of chairs, and ribbons can be tied in knots that resemble hearts and words such as “love” or “bride”. In fact, try to bundle and tie together all of your decorations, whether it’s bunches of balloons, streamers, or glittering fringe.

Tying the Knot Food

Putting together your Tying the Knot bridal shower menu is perhaps the most enjoyable part of the entire event. You can really showcase your creativity by incorporating the theme into absolutely every piece of food fare. Think giant, warm pretzels with a variety of dips for guests to choose from, or sweet, twisted funnel cakes with several topping choices. Sugar cookies with thick, knotted frosting hearts and a cake that features multiple layers, bold colors, and an elaborate topper of a bride and groom tangled up together in love are beautiful on the main table. Likewise, you can also take long, flexible candies such as Twizzlers or Sour Straws and knot them up to present as their own little “knots of love”.

Tying the Knot Games

Activities like Twister are a great idea for games because this keeps in with theme of being knotted up, along with activities that have the guests crocheting or sewing a pattern provided. Tongue twister games are also great in keeping with the theme, but are also extremely fun for the guests to engage in.

Flamingo Bridal Shower Decor

Decorations are easy because you’re sticking with one main color palate and image. Flamingos and all shades of pink are what you want to be the base of all your décor, so start with different hues of pink streamers, balloons, garland, door tassels, and tablecloths. Hang up flamingo garland and paste up flamingo cutouts in all different sizes along the walls. Have flamingo and sunshine confetti sprinkled on the tables and create centerpieces from glass vases filled with seashells and flamingos on sticks. Have neon colored sunglasses at each table setting for your guests to wear throughout the party, along with bright pink feather boas draped along the back of each chair. Of course, you can’t forget plenty of blow up flamingos, along with yard flamingos placed throughout the venue. It’s a good idea to have lush greenery around as well to give the party a tropical look. Also, post up homemade flamingo signs that say fun phrases such as “Let’s Flamingle!”

For food, serve your eats in wooden platters and bowls to give it all an island feel. A three tiered cake with pink to white ombre icing, fondant accents of flamingos, and an elaborate topper that includes hibiscus flowers, a little bit of glossy greenery, and a couple of dancing flamingos in sunglasses and wedding attire is an amazing focal point of the food table. Serving platters in a glossy pink color look brilliant and showcase your pretty fares splendidly. Cupcakes with seafoam hued icing and flamingo lovebird toppers, cakepops in the shape of seashells, and flamingo imaged sugar cookies are all delightful treats that all the guests will enjoy tremendously. Bowls of berries, strawberry pudding, and jars full of gummy candies are a nice touch for the sweet tooth and they are all easy to eat. Individually wrapped and personalized flamingo suckers and candy bars are a treat that guests can take home with them. For main course food, think snacks such as goldfish crackers, pretzels, and nuts, along with lighter dips such as French Onion, Ranch, or anything with a mild cheese base. Tropical fares are also a great idea, so keep in mind options like shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, or conch fritters.
