With the spring wedding season just around the corner, you may be preparing for the upcoming nuptials of a close friend or family member. If you’re tasked with the responsibility of planning the bride-to-be’s shower, you may be feeling a bit of pressure to make sure the shower is just right. Her shower is something the bride will remember for the rest of her life, so you’ll want to be the hostess with the mostess!
Luckily, our party planners have put together some drop-dead gorgeous shower inspiration for you, including tips on how to pull the party off without a hitch. Read on for shower ideas, and then head on over to our bridal shower themes to get your party planning started.
When it comes to your bridal shower tablescape, think elegant. You’ll want to make sure your tables fit in with the “theme” of your shower, whether it’s the bride’s wedding colors or her favorite flower.
We recommend incorporating fresh flowers into your centerpieces. However, there’s no need to spend too much money on a florist. Something as simple as floating orchids in water make a gorgeous statement — and you can do this yourself.
Arranging fresh flowers in tea pots is another pretty floral centerpiece that you don’t need a florist to achieve. Place alternating tea pots on cake stands to create dimension among your tables.
It’s really pretty to incorporate a mix of paper products and real china and silverware. Above, paper plates and napkins are accented with silver chargers, silverware, and champagne glasses. This keeps your tablescape classy, but also cuts down on dishes after the party. The same method of mixing and matching paper products with real china is demonstrated in the gorgeous light blue and brown shower below:
