Bridal Shower Centerpiece

The bridal shower centerpiece helps to set the stage for your party. A lush floral arrangement, a candlescape, a fresh fruit display, a decorative gift basket, or  a balloon centerpiece, are all options. A stand alone item related to your party theme is also a good choice.

Will you have one large arrangement and several smaller ones, or will all be of equal size? Ideally, there should be one or more on each table, depending on it's size. Your budget will also play a part.

Fantastic Florals

• A bridal shower centerpiece can be used as your main table piece, and then given to the bride or hostess, as a cherished souvenir. The photo above shows a lush floral tablescape accented with tall candles. This elegant decor also gives a light airy feel to this outdoor event. Does your theme call for drama? Tall arrangements, bold colors, and gold accents are some suggestions. Seasonal colors are also a popular. Think pastels in the Spring, and rich deep leaf colors for Fall.

• Fresh floral arrangements are always appropriate.  They create instant color, and aroma. A simple yet dynamic idea is to put them in a clear vase, and add a bow in a related color. Fresh flowers can be ordered from a florist, purchased online, or selected at your local grocery store.

• The meaning of flowers... adds a personal touch.

• Birth flowers... another fun idea.

• Artificial or silk flowers: Sold separately or prearranged, these are available in craft, gift, and online stores. A table centerpiece made with silk flowers is everlasting, and most look very real. If you are creative, arrangements can be assembled at a reasonable cost. You'll have the choice of almost any flower and color. A single flower in a milk glass vase, or a basket of mixed silks with greenery, are possibilities.

•Topiary: While these can be found in many shapes, we usually think of the decorated ball-shaped trees for parties. These are a beautiful bridal shower centerpiece idea. They can be found in gift shops and craft stores. If you purchase plain green ones, adorn them with petite silk roses and ribbon in your chosen colors.

Creative Bridal Shower Centerpiece Ideas

Cake: The bridal shower cake is often used as the main table centerpiece. Cakes have become works of art and are often displayed as such. They can be elegant, classic, modern, or casual. Think of the total look you would like. Make it personal.

• The towel cake is always popular.  Made up of towels, washcloths, lotions, and other themed items, it becomes a usable gift for the bride-to-be to take home. This idea often coordinates with a kitchen, bed, or bath theme. Use your imagination to come up with items for your event.

• Candles are a versatile option. Sold in all different shapes and sizes, they are easily adapted to various centerpiece ideas. 

• Balloons: A balloon centerpiece may fit in with your bridal shower theme. You'll have your choice of colors, and sizes. They are readily available, easy to work with, and relatively inexpensive. 

Great Gift Display Choices

• Theme Items: You may have chosen a sport, hobby or other specific topic for your theme. What could you use that would fit with that theme? A beach party could have a pail filled with lotion, a towel, sunglasses, etc. A luau theme could have leis and flowers.

• Party Goods: Many of the party items available, have a matching paper centerpiece. This may work for you. Again, consider the size of your table or tables to use this.

• Pictures: A framed picture of the future bride and groom is a great bridal shower centerpiece idea. You can surround the picture with a wreath of silk flowers, or several fresh loose flowers.  A collage frame of photos through the years, is also a fun idea.  This is  a great take home gift.

• Gift baskets: assemble a basket of goodies to give as your gift. These might be small choices from the bridal registry, or maybe necessities that will be used in a new home. L Use this as your main display, then the bride keeps it after the party. 

*** Final Thoughts

Make sure the height of your centerpieces aren't too tall, when placed on table where guests will sit to eat. You don't want to block their view, when they are trying to speak to someone on the other side of the table. 

Let your centerpieces add to the overall decor and help to pull look of the room together.
