Blushing Bride Bridal Shower Theme

Tips for a "Blushing Bride" Bridal Shower Theme

• For an inexpensive ‘WOW Effect’ use our light pink, blue, white and brown balloons. Simply fill balloons with helium and let them go! As they float up to the ceiling and fill the ceiling with color, your room will begin its transformation! (Note: Tie curling ribbons to some of the balloons and curl them slightly to create an interesting effect.) Next, use our Blushing Bride trimmer garland to criss-cross the room and hang our party lanterns at different heights beneath the balloons.
• Duplicate the three-layer cake design on our Blushing Bride Bridal Shower invitations. Simply take an invitation to your baker and request a replica. (Note: Provide the baker with a footed pedestal plate when placing your order, so you will not have to transfer the cake later!)
• Create a beautiful and tasty blush-pink punch. Mix cranberry-pomegranate juice, white grape juice and ginger ale. Float sliced fresh fruit in the punch bowl. Serve in our coordinating Blushing Bride cups. (Note: A bit of spiced rum makes this a great alcoholic punch!)
• Create coordinating centerpieces that again replicate the details of our Blushing Bride shower collection. Use clear wide-mouthed glass cylinders or vases. Place a 3-inch wide candle in each, leaving space between the candle and the glass sides. Fill the space with tiny white pebbles; light blue or light pink glass marbles; or white sand, all of which are available at most craft stores. Next, attach a brown satin ribbon around the cylinder about 1.5 inches from the top. (Note: To add height, place the finished cylinder atop a footed plate or wide brown, metal candleholder.)
• Another simple centerpiece uses the idea above, but includes long stems of light pink flowers and brown wooden twigs at alternating heights. For a bit of drama, hang clear crystals from some of the branches using gold metallic thread. (Note: These make nice take-home gifts for the guests when the shower ends!)
• For sweet party favors, provide four to six petit fours in round or square shapes. Alternate chocolate and vanilla frosting with pink and blue bows. Place in small, white boxes, lined in paper doilies or coordinating tissue paper. Tie satin ribbons around each box, tying a bow on top. Attach our Blushing Bride “Thank You” card atop each box and give one to each guest as they leave the shower.
