Don’t let the color of pink limit
you to visions of cotton candy alone –
be inspired by this gorgeous color as the
backdrop for a memorable bridal shower party

Choose a Unique Angle to Anchor the Bridal
Shower Theme
Planning a bridal shower with the color
pink in mind need not be solely based on
finding elements that can be coordinated
with the color. Use a creative dimension
for unifying the party’s theme or
design approach. This can often be based
on several factors such as the personal
interests of the bride, a romantic historical
period, or a special day like Valentine's
or Mother's Day. You may also draw inspiration
from nature by selecting fruits or flowers
with pretty pink hues and tones.
As an example, adopting a Zen-inspired bridal
shower theme may incorporate simple yet stylish
decorations using bold accents of pink paired
with fuchsia together with elegant touches
of acrylic, glass, or crystal. For such a
theme, use accents to decorate place settings
that speak more for their simplicity and sophistication
such as displaying a sleek square vase filled
with a Hawaiian orchid. Alternatively, if
you are planning a party with a warm country
feel, use mini
pots with pink flowers as the table decor.
For favors, wrap pastel pink chocolate M&Ms®
or sugar-coated chocolate hearts in cello
and present them in organza bags. You may
choose to place these treats as a decorative
touch at the dessert or gift table.
 
Present the Bride with a Bridal Shower Cake
The most popular idea to hit the planning
scene is presenting the bride with her own
bridal shower cake, which can also function
as the central element that unifies a party’s
theme. Whether you plan to buy or make your
own cake, the design choices are endless
from classic buttercream layered cakes filled
with strawberries and topped with edible
flowers to miniature tiered cakes decorated
in fondant. Moreover, mini cakes are also
ideal as part of enhancing centerpieces
and place settings.
Petite-sized Pastries are also Popular
Choices
Alternatively, you may also choose petite
sized pastries such as cheesecakes, petit
fours, and cupcakes - each decorated in
a lovely shade of pink, lilac, or fuchsia.
Since selecting a design for the cakes can
be a challenge, find a decorative object
or piece that can serve as an inspiration.
If you have the opportunity to work with
a professional cake maker, they may be able
create a replica of the shower’s favors
in the form of a cake, or use certain aspects
of its design to produce the cake. For instance,
the design of a footed French box or Cinderella
slipper can act as design inspirations
by adding a unique and whimsical touch to
the bridal shower's decorations. Finally,
don’t forget to serve pink champagne
or other drinks infused with a hint of pink
using strawberries, grenadine syrup, or
colored sugar crystals. For more hip ideas,
