This bridal shower is themed around food, champagne and your favorite juice flavors. A little bit of colour, usually gold and pink, compliments the set up as you select both the venue and decor.

Juice is what the bubbly theme is about

2. Kitchen themed (TEA PARTY)

This is a simple gift giving party with a sole goal of stocking the ‘bride to be’ in with the necessary kitchen ware for her dream kitchen. The bridesmaids and close friends ought to know the bride so well to buy the appropriate wear. In addition, they must organize a kitchen tea for the bride. To complete the act, a touch of napkins and kitchen curtains can be used for décor.

Foods and drinks should be gorgeous cupcakes, decorated with edible flowers, glazed donuts plus petals and blooms in the ice cubes and drinks.

10.   Boho chic

Bohemian style is about artsy, earthly colors and whimsy. It is for that artistic, unconventional and ‘rebel’ bride. 

It works best with nature; add a few light color balloons (usually beige, peach and pastel pink). 

Boho themed bridal shower tables are set close to the floor with pillows, a nice rug, white table runner etc.  Without a floor table, you may get a chair decorated with greenery, mirrors and candles. 

To complete the boho look, the bridal dress is usually a long dress with boho patterns, light materials and neutral colors and a floral crown to match it. 

Boho themed cakes are a big deal together with other pastries, meats and fruits.
