Spring is the season for new life, fresh flowers, the bees are buzzing, the birds and singing and love is in the air. It's the ideal season to celebrate with a Spring Garden Bridal Shower. Stunning deep blue and white patterned French Chinoiserie details are mixed with shades of pink, touched with orange and lime green accents. A favorite detail is the enchanting pale blue plate chargers, and the elegant Chinoiserie Fan and Floppy Straw Hat Backdrop. This luxurious looking celebration is a classically styled spring garden party for the special bride to be.
Spring bursts onto the scene in grand fashion with this elegant bridal shower, featuring Chinioiserie details and darling bunny figurines to help carry the seasonal concept.
A Multi Functional Backdrop Makes a Statement Focal Point
Wide brimmed, floppy straw bridal party hats are embellished with striped ribbon and colorful yarn poms for a playful touch that fits perfectly with the party's theme. This is a quick project that's easy to DIY with a step by step tutorial. Hang a few Chinoiserie patterned hand fans against some white draping fabric, and you have a stunning Wide Brimmed Straw Hat and Chinoiserie Fan Backdrop for the party that is also features these fun wearable accessories for the bride and bridal party.
This Spring Centerpiece Will Have the Birds Singing a Cheery Tune
Create a unique Spring centerpiece for your table. Begin with a boxwood ring, which becomes the base for a large blush glass vase . Fill the vase with a pink peony bunch, then set a Chinoiserie Decoupaged Ceramic Rabbit Set on either side of the vase. Add in a few ivory peony blooms, and some fresh tangerines for a pop of color. For a special touch, a personalized button for the Bride to Be can be embellished with scraps from the party crafts, and placed right into the arrangement, or worn by the bride.
The peonies are faux, but look like the real thing! These would be lovely with a small spritz of glitter, if you like to add extra sparkle to your parties. (I do!)
Place Settings Evoke a Whimsical Springtime Feeling
The table for four is first laid with a crisp white linen, overlaid by a white lace cloth from my own collection. Dusty blue plate chargers are topped with a Chinoiserie patterned luncheon plate, and dessert plate.
Shimmering pink ceramic bunnies are hand painted with gold baskets, and embellished with a blue flower snipped from a garland, and a calligraphy inscribed place card cut to look like a leaf. Inside the basket, a playful orange yarn pom is nestled. You could also fill these with candy cups of jelly beans, or a fresh flower.
Gold ornate flatware is hand tied with satin bright pink ribbon, dovetailed at the ends to formalize the look. A clear square treat box is filled with mouth watering pink jellybeans, and secured closed with a swath of gold washi tape. Pale pink napkins are layered beneath Chinoiserie patterned napkins, making an excellent contrast.
Sip, Sip, Hooray
Each guest is provided with an elegant pink patterned wine glass, accented with a gold and white striped paper straw. The transparency of the glass really adds a gleam to this gorgeous tablescape, while the straw is a silent reminder to have fun! These are perfect for holding a signature cocktail like Frozen Rosa slushies, or a sparkling Prosecco Punch. Each guest's place is also accented by a pale pink bud vase, filled with a solo white peony bloom.
Tie One On With your Bride Babes
Create a fun accent for guests to wear, or offer a pretty Garden Wrist Corsage with yarn poms as a party crafting station for guests to make their own. These tie on quite simply with satin ribbon, and are a lovely take home treasure. These beautiful corsages are made with satin ribbon, peonies and yarn poms.
Greet Guests with a Humorous Welcome
A cute movie quote or song lyric is a fun way to welcome guests. This chalkboard easel with distressed frame has a fun greeting for guests, as well as a display of Chinoiserie hand fans in a pink vase for guests to take as they come in. (And the fans even come with the pretty blue organza bags with ties seen in the picture!)
Spring is the season for all bunnies and flowers; hope you have found plenty of inspiration in this classically styled bridal shower!
