Top 5 Bridal Shower Themes

Good morning, ladies! I hope everyone had a lovely Easter holiday with their families. Last week I mentioned that this month's theme is all about showering the bride, and since we've been getting plenty of April showers, I foresee a bounty of May flowers on the horizon. In the mean time, while we wait for the storms to pass, I've put together a list of our top 5 favorite bridal shower themes that the bride and all the guests are sure to love! Keep in mind that the theme for the bridal shower shouldn't be the same as the theme of the wedding, so don't be afraid to get a little creative!

1. Coco Chanel
In case you missed our instagram post from earlier this week, Coco Chanel is one of our all-time favorite bridal shower themes. Why? Because it's both classy and fabulous of course. The pink and black color pallet emulates the glam of this timeless fashion icon and your guests will "ooh" and "aww" over the Parisian French decor. Don't forget the champagne and pearls, darlings.


2. Garden Party
Whether you're planning a tea party or a mid-morning brunch for your guests, a garden makes the perfect spring-time setting. Flowers, vintage tea cups, and pink lemonade are just a few of the endless possibilities for this versatile theme. If you're not crazy about the idea of hosting an outdoor event (or you don't have time to sow a lavish garden), you can bring the garden inside by using bright, floral prints and other spring-inspired decorations!

3. Cooking/Baking/Wine Tasting Extravaganza
Interactive bridal shower themes are becoming quite popular this season. Whether you choose one or all three you can shower the bride and your guests with sweet treats and succulent recipes. Reserve a cooking class or host a baking party at home; either way, guests will love the fun, social interaction that seemingly flows easier over a batch of cookie dough or wine-infused pasta sauce. Plus they'll get to take home delicious food and new ideas to try in the kitchen!








4. Spa Getaway
No girl, in her right mind, would turn down the opportunity to be pampered for a day, and we're certain that the bride will appreciate the chance to finally take a break from all her wedding planning. You can book a party at a local salon, but if there isn't one available, you can easily pull this theme together at home. All you need is some soothing music, cucumber infused water, and the fixings for a proper mani-pedi. Check out this adorable shower gift for the ladies who aren't ready for their relaxing spa day to end: Spa in a Jar!

5. Mad Hatter's Tea Party
Not to be confused with the garden party theme, this Alice in Wonderland inspired gathering is one of my personal favorites. Your guests will praise the unique and adorable decorations which can include a royal setting fit for the Queen of Hearts, or a more vintage-twist feel for those who wish to venture down the rabbit hole. Regardless of which route you choose, this theme is best suited for those who love serious fun and fantasy and specifically for those who are truly mad. I'll let you in on a little secret, though: "all the best people are."
