Bridal Shower Decorations
Your bridal shower decorations can be simple or elaborate
depending on the atmosphere you are trying to create. So,
picture what you would like the room to look like. Are you
having a small intimate party, or a large fun-filled one? Giving
some thought to your wedding shower decorations will help you
achieve the perfect look.
If you are having a theme, decorate with that in mind. Choose
appropiate props and colors. Party stores have a wide variety of
items. Take a look ahead of time, to help with your plans.
If you're not a having a theme, choose a color scheme. These may
be the bridal colors, or the brides favorite colors. Choosing
three shades of the same color creates a very unified look. Look
again, to the mood you're trying to create. Soft colors will
convey a peaceful, romantic look, while bright colors are more
dramatic.
In most cases, you'll want to have three types of decorations:
wall and/or ceiling, floor, and table. Let's take a look at some
ideas for each:
* Wall and/or ceiling will give an overall effect. Streamers,
banners, draped fabric or tulle, swagged silk flowers, and
balloons are just some of the items you can use.
* Floor items spread throughout the room are used for visual
effect and color. Plants, large baskets, balloons, and theme
props are some suggestions.
* Table decorations are your centerpiece, and place settings.
Flowers in season, candles, and balloons are often good choices.
If you're having a buffet table, you may want to add some
touches of color around the food. This could be single flowers,
or colored confetti.
Have fun with your bridal shower decorations. Keep to what you
think the bride-to-be would like, and you can't go wrong.
