Throw a French-Themed Bridal Shower with These Decor Ideas
Let the Romance Begin
If you’re planning a bridal shower for a bride who loves all things French, you’re in luck! The romance of France paired with the joy of a bridal shower will make for a very special event. From the invitations to the decorations and food, you can easily put together a French-inspired bridal shower to delight your bride and all the guests.
Invitations
Your invitations will set the tone for the bridal shower. Look for invitations that feature Parisian-style elements like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, or a classic fleur-de-lis. You can also include a romantic French phrase like “la plus belle” or “je t’aime” to get your guests in the mood. If you’re feeling creative, consider making your own invitations with a Parisian-themed rubber stamp or a vintage French postcard.
Decorations
Your decorations will be the highlight of the event. Start with a classic French color palette of red, white, and blue. Hang white and red paper lanterns for a fun, festive look. Choose tablecloths, napkins, and plates in classic French-style stripes or paisley. You can also adorn the tables with mini Eiffel Towers or other Parisian souvenirs.
Flowers
Nothing says “Paris” like flowers. You can use white roses, daisies, and lavender to create a soothing, romantic atmosphere. Place flowers in white vases or bottles to keep the French theme alive. You can also incorporate other types of flowers, like sunflowers, poppies, and wildflowers, to add a pop of color.
Music
Finish off your French-themed bridal shower with some classic French music. Look for traditional French songs, as well as contemporary French artists, to give your shower an authentic feel. You can also add in some light jazz or classical pieces to create a sophisticated atmosphere. Your bride and her guests will be swept away in the romance of the night.
