Bridal Shower Theme Trends
Much like the bridal shower decorations, bridal shower theme trends are both affordable – and achievable. From boho vibes to a full-blown garden party, these are our favorites…
Boho Chic
Now, it’s no secret that boho chic has been a hot trend for a while now, but it’s for good reason. Firstly, it’s super easy to pull off and you don’t necessarily need to purchase too much either. Start with some boho rugs and throws to use as a base if you’re hosting outdoor, add in some eclectic chairs and stools and top up the look with your balloon garland and flower wall, along with feathers and lanterns galore. Live your bohemian dream in real-time with your friends and family around, knowing you aced this trend.
Garden Party
Simply put, you can never go wrong with a garden party – and that’s why it’s one of the latest bridal shower trends. Left mostly to your own interpretation, a garden party bridal shower is utterly elegant, while using soft tones and gold finishes to bring indoor luxury outdoors and into the garden – or yard. With this theme, it’s easy to work on different tables such as your buffet stand or mimosa bar and dress them up in a similar, classy way. Finish it all off with some fresh flowers and pillar candles and you’re good to go, girl!

Couple Showers
One of the hottest trends in bridal shower history – yes, it’s history – is the concept of the couple shower. We definitely think this trend is here to stay as it’s a wonderful way to bring more togetherness to both partners and it means you get to share the celebrations with your soon-to-be spouse – instead of apart.

Garter Toss
Okay, so everyone knows how to play ring toss, but what about the bridal shower version: Garter Toss?! The rules are simple: Get as many garters as you can over the boozy (or non-boozy) bottles of your choice! Split your guest into groups of 3 and hand them a garter – purchase this multi-pack from Amazon for ease – between each team. In turn, ask each team to aim for the bottle placed a few feet away from them. Each person in the team gets three chances before its game over and the team with the most points wins – the bottle they landed most on!

The Date Night Jar
As far as bridal shower trends go, the Date Night Jar might just be our favorite. It’s such a wonderful thing to do at your bridal shower – and it’s even greater when you get to read all of your guests’ suggestions once your special day has come to an end. Simply set up a stand near your mimosa bar and place a large mason jar there, add this pre-made Date Night decal from Etsy onto it along with some pens and cards. Ask everyone to write down a suggestion over the course of the day and enjoy the end results with your loved one.

Bridal Shower Food Trends
And finally, the bridal shower food trends you need to know – because who doesn’t love a donut wall?!
Donut Wall
We said it and we’ll keep saying it – who couldn’t love a donut wall? When a delightful dessert doubles as an Insta post, you’re in for a real treat! Get it? As more and more bride-to-be’s ditch the more traditional cake and scones, the donut wall is quickly becoming a firm favorite bridal shower trend for many. The greatest part is that you can DIY the wall at home – if you’re into that kinda thing – or pick one up like this awesome one on Etsy and add in a box of donuts of your choice. What’s sweeter than a whole wall decked out in donuts?
Bagel Bar
When it comes to bridal shower trends, this one surprised us a little, but, in actual fact, it totally makes sense. Firstly, what’s not to love about bagels? And secondly, a build-your-own-bagel bar is easy work – and minimal effort. With no major prep beforehand or clean-up afterward to do, could it get any easier? Whether you’re aiming for a more classic bridal shower, or one that’s a little more eccentric, this bagel bar is guaranteed to bring you – and your guests – plenty of excitement.
Macaroon Tower
We know a trend when we see one and this one’s a game-changer! Replace your standard bridal shower cake with this awesome macaroon tower and sit back and admire your masterpiece. These little bite-size bundles of joy are a real crowd pleaser and are a fool-proof way to bring some memorable food to your bridal shower. Forever timeless and effortlessly beautiful, macaroons are an instant statement of sophistication at any event – let alone your very own bridal shower.
