STYLE + PLANNING hether you’re a boholoving artist or an amateur sommelier, your bridal shower should be a day-of celebration that reflects you. We’ve rounded up a ton of fresh themes to help spark some serious shower inspiration. Pass them onto your crew, your MIL or your planner and get ready to enjoy the best day ever. A MIDSUMMER’S DAY DREAM Floral-loving brides will swoon over a garden party-themed shower, complete with whimsical, feminine details. Decorate tables with a variety of pastel-hued flowers and tiered trays of sandwiches and sweets. Then, set up a DIY tea bar where guests can create their own mix to steep. (Tea not your jam? Give it a boozy brunch twist with a bellini bar instead!) Wrap up the day with a botanical-inspired activity, like flower crown making or plant-yourown herb pots, to echo the dreamy, pastoral setting. 146 HONEYMOON ESCAPE Can’t wait for your romantic retreat after swapping vows? Your honeymoon doesn’t have to feel so far away if you let your getaway inspire your bridal shower. Theme the day’s décor and events based off of your chosen trip location, like a tiki party to echo your upcoming Hawaiian escape. Set up tropical touches like palm leaves, tiki torches and pineapples at home (or on a local beach) to create a mini oasis. Greet friends and family with fresh leis, and encourage an island-like atmosphere by serving up tropical drinks from a tiki bar and beachy bites like fresh mango salsa and grilled fish kebabs. When it comes to your registry, add wish list goodies that will seriously upgrade your honeymoon, like matching suitcases for your travels or cash for unique activities like surf lessons with The Knot Cash Fund. Thank your crew for “making the trip” with a honeymoon-inspired favor, like custom beach bags. DESTINATION AFFAIR If you’re planning a destination wedding, ask the important women in your life to join you a day or two early and host your bridal shower nearby to bottle the essence of your chosen spot and give guests a more in-depth cultural experience. Allow your location to inspire your group activity, like a boat tour along the Amalfi Coast, a scenic hike in the Rocky Mountains or a museum tour and a canal cruise in Amsterdam. Whatever your far-flung locale, this is the perfect opportunity for you and your guests to enjoy each other’s company and learn a little more about your city of love. Finish off your dreamy day with a unique favor inspired by your experience, like a sleeve of macarons from your Parisian soiree or handmade leather sandals from the island of Capri. ›› SASSY MOUTH/SASSYMOUTH.NET; STYLED BY THE CONNECTICUT BRIDE & NIGHTINGALE EVENTS
