Planning a bridal shower for your sister, best friend, cousin, or another special person in your life? Then you need a creative bridal shower theme! Some brides are all about flowers and lace while others just want something unique. We have 5 fabulous bridal shower themes that can help inspire you and your fellow bridesmaids to throw the shower of the century!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Brunch and Bubbly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional brides may appreciate bridal shower themes that are a little more sophisticated or classy. And what’s classier than champagne? Hosting a “Brunch and Bubbly” theme<\/a> for your bride allows for lots of blush pink, gold, and cream. Fresh flowers, white or cream tableware, and cloth napkins are all a must when decorating for brunch. If you’re really ambitious, you can have brunch at someone’s house. Arrive early to whip up waffles, crepes, or muffins. Add fresh fruit or fluffy scrambled eggs to complete the menu. Don’t forget the bubbly! A mimosa bar is perfect for bridal showers. You can set up pretty glasses, a juice carafe, and all the champagne they can handle. Freeze raspberries or edible flowers into ice cubes to make your mimosas even prettier. If you’d rather have someone else handle the details, hiring a Caterer<\/a> is always a great option!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mad Hatter Tea Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a whimsical bride, a Mad Hatter Tea Party<\/a> bridal shower theme is perfect! You can get creative with decor and refreshments, too. Take a page out of Lewis Carroll’s book and use clocks, teapots, book pages, and even playing cards to decorate the space. Use mismatched teacups, plates, tablecloths, and napkins to add to the eclectic feel of the party space.\u00a0For refreshments, tea of course! And other miniature desserts like petit fours, macaroons, or cupcakes are perfect for a tea party. Adding “Eat Me” placards or even putting the words on cakes or cookies is a great way to incorporate Wonderland into the party. You can serve other drinks like lemonade or wine spritzers, but don’t forget the “Drink Me” tags!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc51\u00a0Alternate theme:\u00a0<\/strong>If you’re looking for something less quirky and more elegant, consider a Bridgerton-themed tea party<\/a>. Perfect for a pop-culture-loving bride with a penchant for dressing up and spilling the tea with her lady friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Let’s Taco ‘Bout Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t love tacos? Low-key brides may not want a huge shower that has a lot of fluffy decorations. Wedding planning is stressful. Being “on” all the time can take a toll. Laidback bridal shower themes are definitely the best choice for the stressed out bride-to-be. Give\u00a0her some time to chill out by throwing a casual fiesta! Decorate with bright colors<\/a>, sombreros, or other Southwestern- or Mexican-themed decor. Set up a taco buffet bar with different shells, meats, and vegetables. Add some chips and homemade salsa or guacamole for tasty appetizers. What would a taco party be without margaritas? There are lots of fun recipes out there besides the traditional lime margaritas. Shake it up with strawberry, mango, or even pomegranate flavors! Cucumber margaritas are a growing trend and are super refreshing in the summer months. You can play bartender or set up a couple of blenders for guests to make their own. However you choose to host it, the main idea is to let your bride kick back with her favorite food…and a cold margarita for some laughs with friends and family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Two Less Fish in the Sea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the girl who loves the sand, sun, and sailing, nautical bridal shower themes<\/a> are an easy choice! Nautical decor is simple and tasteful, using lots of navy blue, gold, and white. You can also use natural elements like burlap, rope, driftwood, or seashells. For more of a beach vibe, use faded colors like coral, teal, or yellow. Natural elements fit beautifully into this theme, too. Cute phrases like “Tying the Knot” or “Two Less Fish in the Sea” can be used on your decor to add a little romantic flair to the party.\u00a0Refreshments are pretty flexible. We suggest white wines, oysters, or other tasty seafood for the classier nautical theme. Fruity cocktails like Pina Coladas or Tequila Sunrises are more beachy. Grilled kabobs, fresh fruit, and other easy finger foods are fabulous for beach themes, as well. Let your bride be a beach bum for a day and let all her wedding stress fade away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. You Had Me at Merlot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wine: it’s a girl’s best friend sometimes. And why not use this as inspiration for a bridal shower theme? Your bride will no doubt welcome the chance to sip some wine, open presents, and just enjoy some time away from the planning process. For decor<\/a>, wine glasses, grapes, corks, and empty wine bottles are all perfect for a wine party. Mini bottles of wine are great party favors, or just set out a basket and let guests take their pick. Refreshments should include wine, of course! Offering a few selections of white, blush, and red wines allows your guests choose their favorite or try something new. Gourmet cheeses, crusty breads, crackers, and fruit are all perfect additions to wine. We recommend placing your wine selections\u00a0with the various foods they complement. White wines pair well\u00a0with white meat or light foods like quiche. Red wines complement\u00a0richer flavors like red meat and\u00a0roasted vegetables. So sit back, sip, and enjoy the party with your bride!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
