Fun Ideas For Bridal Shower Centerpieces

If you're planning to host a bridal shower soon, you're probably busy preparing a guest list, sending out invitations, and trying to figure out what food to make. A lot of planning goes into bridal showers, even though they typically only last two or three hours. Don't spend your time getting hung up by trying to come up with a creative bridal shower centerpiece idea, because we've already done that for you!

Some of our favorite bridal shower centerpiece ideas include:

1) Let dessert be the center of attention (at least until the bride gets there). Order a decorated cake specially for the shower, using the bridal party colors and theme. Everyone wants to see the cake before it's cut, so give them ample opportunity to do so by putting it at the centre of the table. Decorated cupcakes can be used instead of a cake and may cut down on the messy job of cutting the cake later on.

2) Flowers are always a winner. Simply picking up some flowers at a local store and arranging them in a beautiful vase can make a gorgeous centerpiece for any occasion, including a shower. And you can make the vase a gift for the bride and send centerpiece home with her when the shower is over. She'll have the flowers to remind her of a fun-filled afternoon, and the vase to remind her of your friendship.

3) Candles of any kind. Floating candles are always especially beautiful in centerpieces, and all you really need is a bowl, candles and water. Throw in some decorative stones for some added color if you want. A pillar candle on a glass plate is also a simple but inviting touch.

4) A pair of champagne flutes and a bottle of wine or champagne on a fancy tray make a creative centerpiece for a bridal shower. For an added touch, place some fresh flowers or flower petals on the tray close to the glasses. Ribbons can be placed around the bottle for some additional color. If you wish, the entire centerpiece could be a gift for the bride to take home.

The bridal shower should be fun for the bride, the guests, and for the people throwing the shower! Keep your centerpiece simple and plan it out ahead of time so you don't have to worry about it at the last minute. A festive centerpiece will give your guests something to talk about and will show that you have put a lot of thought and energy into the shower. Now go and have fun planning those silly shower games!
