Shabby Chic Bridal Shower

This Shabby Chic Bridal Shower is perfect for a bride that loves antiques, flowers and gardening. It is such a pretty and feminine theme for a bridal shower! A garden or backyard setting works well with this theme but if the weather is too cold you could also use a barn or greenhouse. In this post I’ll provide ideas for invitations, decor, food and favors. All of the party printables featured here are by Just a Little Sparkle.

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower – Invitations:

This pretty invitation can be placed in an envelope with dried flower petals and sealed with a butterfly stamp. This pretty invitation ties into the rest of the party decor (food tents, favor tags and banner).

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower – Decorations:

Decor for a Shabby Chic Bridal Shower theme includes a lot of antique or weathered decor so a thrift shop would be an excellent place to shop for party decor. Some pretty decor ideas include:

• lace tablecloth
• porcelain pieces like cake stands and flower vases
• tea cups and saucers
• old weathered shutters as a backdrop
• old floral sheet or curtain as a backdrop with mini clothespins holding pictures of the bride-to-be
• antique or weathered picture frames for engagement pictures
• fresh flowers
• paper doilies
• bird cages
• decorative butterflies
• old weathered side table for a dessert buffet
• mason jars
• twine for ribbon
• steel watering cans filled with flowers

Old wood pieces can be incorporated into various areas of the decor like an old drawer for holding favors, an old bookshelf for photos, wooden boxes upside down as stands for desserts, etc.

Shabby Chic Bridal Shower – Food:

For food options in a Shabby Chic Bridal Shower theme, you’ll want to stick with small bite-sized and dainty foods. Some delicious ideas include:

• french macaroon cookies
• mini cheesecakes in mason jars (click here for a recipe)
• mini strawberry trifles (click here for a recipe)
• chocolate dipped strawberries served on paper doilies
• scones or tea biscuits

Drinks could include tea served in little tea cups with saucers or lemonade in mason jars with paper straws.

The printable food tent cards match the invitation, banner and favor tags.

Food can be served on tall cake stands, inside old wooden drawers, on china ceramic dishes and on paper doilies.
