We are simply head over heels with the idea of a modern and pastel Fall Bridal Shower, and with our creative and colorful design tips and DIY ideas and recipes, you can host your very own Fall Pastel Bridal Shower too! With plenty of pumpkin elements, soft pastel colors and touches of elegant gold details your guest of honor is destined to "fall in love" with this gorgeous autumn inspired celebration!
Not all fall inspired celebrations mean you have to have an autumn based color palette! When we envisioned this unique bridal shower, we of course wanted some traditional fall decor like pumpkins and leaves! We paired these classic fall decor items with a modern pastel color palette for a uniquely beautiful fall themed bridal shower!
The Table:
We layered our table in a White Linen Rectangle Tablecloth topped with a Champagne Shimmer Fabric Roll and used a Gold Reversible Foil Leaf Fabric Roll to create our runner.
The Centerpiece:
We wanted to custom create a one of a kind centerpiece that really gave off some chic, fall vibes. DIY Decorative Pumpkin Sets were given a fresh coat of paint in a variety of pastel colors. We love that these sets come with several sizes for a diverse look.
Gold-Dipped White Pumpkins were intermixed with our pastel pumpkins for a high end look.
We also mixed on a few Gold Glitter Pumpkin Votive Holders, but instead of tea lights, we filled them with brightly colored fresh flowers for a soft, feminine touch. Faux Succulent Picks were intermixed with our fresh florals for a bright pop of greenery.
Flanking our ceramic pumpkins, tea lights and florals were two Gold Trim Open Top Terrariums filled with a Metallic Mini Pumpkin & Gourd Assortment that had also been painted. We loved going vertical with our fall decor!

The Place Settings:
With our centerpiece overflowing with gorgeous color, we wanted to keep our place settings clean and simple. White Ribbed Edge Premium Plastic Dinner Plates and Dessert Plates were layered and rested upon a Gold Metallic Charger. A dip dyed White Polyester Linen Napkin also sat at each setting for a hint of color.
Upon each Dessert Plate rested a DIY Ceramic Mini Pumpkin Bowl which we dressed up with gold paint for a chic decorative element.
Each place setting also had a stunning Terrarium place card favor. Each terrarium base was white washed with equal parts white paint and water for a lightly tinted base.
The terrariums were then filled with additional flowers, Faux Succulent Picks and Metallic Mini Pumpkins. Names were added to place cards in the front of each terrarium to serve as a creative DIY place card that guests could take home as their favor!

Lastly, each place setting had Patterned Plastic Wine Glasses and Patterned Champagne Flutes. We love this drinkware because it looks expensive without the big price tag! It looked perfect next to our place settings filled with rose!
The Backdrop
Three water color signs (American Crafts™ Fall in Love Watercolor Panel and two American Crafts™ Geometric Heart Watercolor Panel) were painted in coordinating tones to match our DIY Pastel Pumpkin Centerpiece. We love how the colors pick up on the theme.
To mimic the shape of our Decorative Pumpkin Set and the clean white undertones, five Ceramic Vases with Wood Grain Trim were filled with more coordinating flowers and were displayed along side additional Gold Glitter Pumpkin Votive Holders and additional DIY Decorative Pumpkin Sets.
The Signature Drink:
Every bride deserves her own signature drink and we knew we wanted our bride to enjoy a classic cocktail with a tasty, fall twist!
We dreamed up this delicious Apple Cider Moscow Mule Recipe for a modern autumn twist on a delicious favorite! Our drink looked picture perfect in this copper colored Moscow Mule Personalized Metal Cup and with a few seasonal garnishes!
