Marble Themed Bridal Shower Ideas

A marble themed bridal shower is as elegant and refined as the future bride herself. Class knows no bounds when it comes to this kind of party, so get your shining marble pressed invites out in the mail, because this is going to be a bridal shower for the books!

It’s a bright, light, and airy atmosphere when it comes to a marble theme. Crystal glassware, sparkling acrylic servingware for cakes and treats, and simple ivory tablecloths pair splendidly with the rest of the marble décor, and gives it a chance to really shine. A multi-tiered marble cake is a once in a lifetime beauty, while multi-hued marble coffee mugs or coasters make a terrific (and functional) favor for guests to take home to always remember this very special bridal shower. Marble plates match beautifully with lace runners on tables, and bridal shower games can be printed on marbled paper for an extra dose of loveliness. Roll out the marble floor runner for guests at the entry of the party, and make sure to pay attention to the actual ‘crackles’ in all your marble décor. Shining copper, silver, gold, rose gold, and bronze really make white, black, and dusty pink marble pop. Send guests home with some breathtaking marble coasters and you’ve got yourself one hard to forget party.

Gothic Bridal Shower Ideas

A unique bride-to-be calls for an especially unique bridal shower. With a twist on the macabre, and a flair for old world Victorian culture, putting on a Gothic themed bridal event is a one-of-a-kind party that is truly unforgettable.

Create a dark, romantic ambience like no other, with dim lighting in red hues, black lace overlays for tables, and ebony roses for centerpieces and accents. Hang up banners that read “Til Death Do Us Part”, and incorporate paper fans, feathers, and Victorian umbrellas as the ultimate aesthetics. Intricately decorated skull figurines—especially a groom and a bride—lend a sort of haunting elegance to the allover motif. Birdcages showcasing everything from party food to signage to photos to, well, any great décor, make a fantastic addition. Doorways framed by long branches, or swishy velvet swag add a dose of mystery to the party, while timeless gothic literature by the likes of Edgar Allen Poe serve as amazing décor as the actual books, or quotes posted up on chalkboards in lace font.

You can even get guests in on the theme by requesting they dress in lace black or red garments, and you can even set up a very gothic-esque favor activity in which guests make black and red candles, accentuated with lace applique.

Valentine Bridal Shower Ideas

Valentine Bridal Shower Decors

Could there be a more perfect timing for a bridal shower than around Valentine’s Day? Let the most romantic day of the year pose as the ultimate party atmosphere for the future bride’s celebration, and definitely don’t go sparingly on all the love and hearts you can get into décor, food, and favors! Whether you’re having them done or doing them yourself, you can’t go wrong with heart-shaped invitations and RSVP cards, either.

Rose petals, twinkle fairy lights, and heart shaped garland are only the start of decorations when it comes to setting up the best Valentine bridal shower. Pink table cloths adorned with glittery heart confetti, giant heart shaped balloons in all colors of the rainbow, and chalkboards showcasing the greatest of love quotes from history come together to create this beyond whimsical ambience. Fill giant martini glasses with heart-shaped macaroons, and create little burlap bag favors full of those classic colorful conversation hearts. Put together a fabulous photo booth with all the best silly Valentine props, and for favors, set up a station in which guests can create their own keepsake flute or wine glass. Glue, glitter, and paint makes for the most fun time, while inciting lots of laughter and interaction. Of course, don’t forget a beautiful guestbook that the bride-to-be can keep herself to remind her of the amazing bridal shower she had.

Rose and Lavender Bridal Shower

This exquisite Rose and Lavender Bridal Shower was expertly designed by Oh Feri – Party and Event Styling. Using a perfect blend of floral displays and soft, pastel tones, the theme had an elegant and warm styling that was certain to please the guests. 

With lots of lavender and a pinch of rose, the theme colors were beautifully blended to create a stunning look throughout the well-lighted venue space. 

At the back of the dessert table a modern, customized graphic advertised the theme perfectly with a golden border.  In front of the graphic a table covered in white made a beautiful stage for all of the desserts. 

For this special event, three fabulous cakes were created and set at the back of the table to give visually stunning effect. Each one was several layers and intricately detailed to add to the elegance of the celebration. Flower bouquets stood on each end of the table in soft lavender, rose and cream tones in fantastic tall vases. 

At the front of the table miniature cupcakes were perfectly frosted  along side other tasty treats including cookies of course.  Even frosted pretzels were frosted to blend with the theme.

Pudding in cups had frosting on top for a fun look and a tray of each was placed on both sides of the table, ensuring easy access for the guests to just grab and go. An adorable chocolate covered treat tree was created looking absolutely decadent and had roses incorporated too. Miniature cakes were frosted in rose and topped with cute flower blooms. Even the trays used went perfectly with the theme in white. 

From top to bottom, this event was a spectacular success, the mixture of pastels and floral arrangements made a lovely and inviting atmosphere for the guests. Even the cakes showcased florals with toppers of fantastic lavender and rose blooms.

Anchors Away Nautical Bridal Shower

With Alli behind the wheel, this Anchors Away Nautical Bridal Shower was a fantastic celebration of two special people getting ready for nuptials! Adding a twist to the classic Nautical themes, this one had blush incorporated into the colors to give it a softer look. With the happy couple planning their wedding on a yacht, this Nautical idea was a perfect option for a get-together. 

The venue used was a lovely home, creating a cozy and comfortable vibe that the guests were sure to appreciate. In the main area, a large fireplace dominated with a fantastic mantle for holding all sorts of bold decorations.  A banner hung across this fireplace with the bride and groom’s names in gold. 

This mantle held a variety of different decorations that blended perfectly with the theme, two sailboats sat right in the center ensuring that the nautical vibe was beautifully advertised. Anchor photo art was placed beside the boats in matching theme colors.  A neat addition to this mantle were several mason jars with teal tones that had ropes attached, giving a stylish and creative look that stood out. 

To give the party a unique look, Alli put together fantastic boxes with anchor patterned fabric to hold large displays of lovely flowers.  Each box was precisely designed to go with this theme, creating a customized look that would be remembered. 

For desserts, delightful sugar cookies iced in blue and shaped like anchors made a perfect addition to the party. There were also scrumptious cupcakes that matched the theme too! 

An outdoor area was set up to eat food and this section matched the theme as well with a banner on one wall that had all sorts of different flags.  The guest tables were decked out with fantastic sailboat centerpieces and the dishware was a bold blue color to coordinate beautifully.
