HOSTING A BRIDAL SHOWER

Run with the fact that your event can be as feminine as you desire. Not only is the occasion all about the blushing bride, but the guests too are predominantly going to be women. 

So deck the halls with flowers! Have roses bursting from teacups, hydrangeas hanging from the chandeliers, flowers nestled between your canapés, ranunculus clustered down the centre of the table and windowsills filled with vases of peonies. Choose flowers that are in season over imports so they emulate the weather and the atmosphere of the event.

A bridal shower is the perfect opportunity to go wild with your sweets and treats table. We all love sweet treats that doubles as eye candy. For inspiration, take a look at Amy Atlas Events. Atlas creates the most stunning and tempting styled sweets.

Remember that it is all too easy to turn a bridal shower into a hen’s. All it takes is a feather-bower and a tiara thrown into the mix. Everyone likes a little novelty, but be careful not to overdo it, and instead be subtle with the marital themed touches. Be feminine with your colour choices but opt for pastels over glaring hot pink. These diamond ring donuts are the perfect example of clever touches to keep in mind the bride-to-be.

  

Games are a fun way to celebrate the coming wedding. Bride and groom trivia is a classic.

We’re loving this ‘he said/ she said’ questionnaire below and 'Bridal Bingo'. Their both fun and add a touch of humour to the celebrations. 

Be celebratory, but remember that a bridal shower is only the precursor to the big day; modesty, simplicity and intimacy are perfect for a bridal shower.
