A bridal shower is a chance for the bride's closest friends and family to celebrate her before the wedding rush begins. The décor should feel personal, pretty and relaxed, whether the shower is a brunch at home, a tea party in a garden or an afternoon in a private dining room.

Pick a theme that suits the bride

Popular themes include garden party, "brunch and bubbly", a Paris café, boho with pampas grass, or a simple blush and gold palette. Start with something the bride loves, such as her favorite flower, a travel destination or the wedding colors, and let that guide the rest.

Create a backdrop for the bride

The bride's seat is where gifts are opened and most photos are taken. A floral arch, a greenery wall with a neon "Bride to Be" sign, or a balloon garland in soft tones makes that corner special. Add a statement chair and a small side table for gifts.

Style the brunch or tea table

Use layered linens, a low floral runner and tiered stands for pastries. Small touches such as personalized place cards, mini bud vases and champagne flutes tied with ribbon make the table feel finished without clutter.

Add an activity corner

A mimosa bar, a "wishes for the bride" card station or a flower crown table gives guests something to do and creates great photos.

Sample decoration ideas

Need a starting point? Here are three sample concepts our designers can adapt to your colors, venue and guest count:

  • Blush garden brunch: a blush and ivory floral arch behind the bride’s chair, a long table with roses and greenery, and a mimosa bar with gold accents.
  • Boho chic: pampas grass and dried florals, rattan peacock chair, terracotta and cream linens and a macramé backdrop.
  • Something blue: a blue and white palette with hydrangeas, a neon “Something Blue” sign and blue and white balloon garland.

Quick planning tips

  • Match the décor to the venue size; a few strong pieces beat many small ones.
  • Keep the gift table near the bride's seat.
  • Plan good natural light for daytime photos.

Frequently asked questions

The backdrop behind the bride’s chair, because that is where gifts are opened and most photos are taken.
