3 Essential Steps to Plan the Perfect Bridal Shower for Your Bride-to-Be!

3 Steps to Planning the Perfect Bridal Shower 

A bridal shower is a wonderful time for the bride to be celebrated and surrounded by loved ones. In planning this event, it’s essential to stay organized and focused on the details that matter most. 

Read on for our three key steps to get you started on planning a beautiful bridal shower!

Step 1: Choose a Theme and Venue

The first step when planning a bridal shower is to decide on a theme. You’ll want to pick a theme that fits your bride’s unique style, whether it be elegant, classy, bohemian, or laid-back! Once you pick the perfect theme it will guide all other decisions. 

Next the theme will help guide your decision as you look for a venue that fits the vibe. A cozy home, a scenic outdoor location, or a beautiful venue space with lots of natural light are all great choices. 

Expert tip: Make sure the space is flexible enough to accommodate your decor and any specific activities you have planned.

Step 2: Plan the Decor, Lighting, and Rentals

Decor and lighting are the best ways to set the mood for the day! Here at Aurora we can help provide everything you need for decor, lighting, and other rentals.

Choose decor elements that reflect the theme—think florals, table settings, and backdrops. For lighting, you might consider twinkle or bistro lights to cover large spaces and add an elegant touch. 

Make sure to think through all the other rentals you may need to elevate the shower. This may include lounge furniture, statement chairs for the bride,  tables and linens that fit any aesthetic. These special touches will create a cohesive and stylish event space the bride and guests will love.

Step 3: Organize Activities and Refreshments

No bridal shower is complete without fun activities and delicious treats. 

Games are a classic way to entertain guests, from Pass the Bouquet to Bridal Bingo. Take time to plan out a schedule for the day’s activities to keep everything moving smoothly. 

For drinks and treats, consider a brunch or dessert table with a variety of options. Have fun with setting this up by making the treats match the theme.
