One of the most beloved and popular décor schemes of today is the shabby chic look, and there is hardly anything more romantic when picking a motif for a bridal shower. A shabby chic bridal shower event embodies romance, femininity, and nostalgic imagination all in one, and when you stand back and look at everything once you’ve set this party up, one word will come to mind—pretty. And what’s better for a bride to be than something exquisitely pretty?!
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. 
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.
