Planning a bridal shower for a girl who adores antique shopping and whose decorating style can be described as Shabby Chic? Surprise your bride with an antique themed bridal shower! Invite guests to bring gifts of beautiful antique china dinnerware or teacup sets.
Entertain the guests with a proper tea party, complete with finger sandwiches and an assortment of delectable desserts. Offer a selection of fine teas and coffees for your guests to sample and enjoy.
If the weather permits, consider hosting the shower in a friend’s flower garden or get creative with the location and contact a garden that is maintained by a bead and breakfastt or your city. Another nice location would be an estate or farm and ask if they would be willing to rent space for the event.
Decorations for the Antiques theme bridal shower
An assortment of lace or flowery tablecloths will immediately put guests in a shabby chic kind of mood. Accessorize with candelabras, silver tea sets and flower arrangements. A wonderful idea fthat will both help decorate tables and forever remind your Shabby Chic loving bride of her special day, is to ask guests to bring a variety of vintage dinner and salad plates in flowery patterns. You can specify in the invitation a particular color scheme or theme – like flower, butterflies, etc. This is a wonderful way to help her start building a beautiful china collection that is sure to complement her Shabby Chic decorating style.
The Event
Serve open faced tea sandwiches, like cream cheese and watercress or cucumber, on beautiful silver trays to add a sophisticated touch. Traditional brunch items, like quiche and main course salads will provide a more substantial lunch for guests. Offer beautiful punches, sparkling lemonade and water for refreshments.
Remember to take many pictures of the bride-to-be and her guests during the party, as well as a few group shots.
