We're always on the lookout for the next big bridal shower trend, and when we say we spend hours and days looking through TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest and even just good ol' Google, we mean it. Because we know all of you brides and bridesmaids out there simply don't have the time to scroll through it all.
Long story short—our team of party-planning pros are delighted to announce that we've found THE best bridal shower trends for 2024. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of bubbly (Prosecco or kombucha—your choice!) and cross finding your shower theme off your to-do list!
Diamond of the season
Calling all Bridgerton girlies! If you’re a fan of romantic Regencycore details (or just want to imagine what being Queen Charlotte’s fave would be like), this is the bridal shower theme for you. Encourage everyone to dress up in their fanciest frocks, serve copious cups of tea and petit fours, decorate in delicate pastels (or ultra-saturated hues if you’re more Team Featherington) and ooh and ahh at that sparkler on the bride’s ring finger every chance you get. (P.S., dearest gentle reader, we have an article all about how to throw a Bridgerton-themed party that you may enjoy!).
Our top planning tips:
Food: Finger sandwiches, Earl Grey shortbread cookies, oranges, petits fours, scones
Drinks: Tea (especially Masala chai), champagne, elderflower-infused drinks, Madeira, cherries jubilee cocktail
Dress code: Regencycore or floral tea dresses
Garden disco
While “Last Disco” is taking over the bachelorette party scene, don’t think for one second that you can’t break out the disco balls before that bash! Instead, bring them out to the backyard for a dazzling disco bridal shower garden party! Opt for bright florals and threads to match the energy of the disco vibes, hang mirror balls from the trees and nestle them into some planters and reuse some old scuffed-up records as placemats. Can you think of a more perfect day-to-night bridal shower? (We can’t.)
Our top planning tips:
Food: Disco fries, kale salad, fondue (chocolate and cheese), seafood cakes, mini black forest cakes, layered Jello fruit cake
Drinks: Blue Hawaii cocktails, piña coladas, tequila sunrises, Poppi
Dress code: Colorful glitz and glam, sequins and fringe
Love in bloom
Is the bride more “garden” than “disco”? You can’t go wrong with a classic love in bloom bridal shower. Not only is “love in bloom” a delightful play on words, but it's easy to bring to life and personalize. Mix the bride’s favorite florals with matching tableware in the same color palette and use flowers to decorate everything from the table to the cake.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Cakes decorated with edible flowers, in-season fruit and vegetables, garden salad, pasta salad, tarts, Belgian chocolates
Drinks: Jasmine tea, elderflower cocktails, prickly pear margarita, sangria
Dress code: Florals (groundbreaking, we know)
She’s on cloud nine
Picture this: Soft, varying shades and textures of white and pale blue and guests floating around the room dressed in all white as they celebrate you. You can go literal with this and hang dreamy clouds above the tables, or create a white balloon photo-op backdrop with “On cloud nine” written on it, or decorate with white candles, ostrich feathers, pampas grass, gauzy table runners and white florals everywhere.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Cotton candy, white frosted cake, cream puffs, vanilla macarons, finger sandwiches, white pizza
Drinks: White wine, mint juleps, lemonade
Dress code: White, pale blue
She’s been scooped up
Undoubtedly the sweetest shower idea ever, this ice cream-themed bridal bash brings all the nostalgia and feels. Set up a DIY sundae bar (or hire an ice cream truck if your budget allows) and create a confectionary wonderland with candy-colored decor and pastel attire.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Ice cream with all the toppings, waffle cones, charcuterie cups, small cakes with sugar ice cream cones, popcorn, cookies, strawberries
Drinks: Frozé, strawberry margaritas, milk shakes, root beer
Dress code: Pastels
Something blue before “I do”
If her favorite hue is blue, you know what to do! Blue glassware, florals (hydrangeas, cornflowers, forget-me-nots and delphiniums are some lovely choices), flowy runners and bows (bows are a major trend right now) are the way to turn this timeless theme into an unforgettable experience for the bride and her guests.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Bleu cheese beef sliders (or anything with bleu cheese!), blue velvet cake, blueberry pie, fresh blueberries and blackberries
Drinks: Butterfly pea tea, frozen blue moscato margaritas, mermaid lemonade
Dress code: Blue, violet, white
Love at first spritz
If we were to declare one of the 2024 bridal shower trends as THE trend of the year, it might just be this one! While Aperol spritz is the most popular tipple to treat guests to at this shower, there are plenty of others to choose from. In addition to serving bubbly bevvies, you can continue the Italian theme with lots of delicious pasta, antipasti and gelato, and decorate with fresh citrus, fringed umbrellas and gorgeous Mediterranean florals. It truly is the perfect al fresco bridal shower theme!
Our top planning tips:
Food: Pasta of choice (we love this easy recipe), antipasti, olives, Aperol or Campari olive oil pound cake
Drinks: Aperol spritzes, fresh-squeezed orange juice, Italian lemonade
Dress code: Orange, yellow and summery prints
Tea with the bride-to-be
Who doesn’t love a grown-up tea party? Whether you’re going for a classic English garden tea party with dainty finger sandwiches or a fantastically mad tea party à la Alice in Wonderland, one thing is for sure: Everyone at the shower will adore it.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Finger sandwiches (we have 3 scrumptious recipes right here), scones with jam and clotted cream, fresh berries, mini cakes, macarons
Drinks: Tea (obviously)
Dress code: Floral frocks (wide brimmed hats and lace gloves optional)
Petals & Prosecco
*Sigh* Your bestie has found her perfect match. Well, now, so has Prosecco! Serve your sparkling wine alongside a profusion of petals as you toast to the bride-to-be. Consider creating a DIY mimosa or bellini bar and decorating in various shades of pink for an extra romantic touch.
Our top planning tips:
Food: Charcuterie, crudités, mini savory pies, caprese salad
Drinks: Prosecco, mimosas, peach bellinis
Dress code: Pink, peach, cream and floral prints
Lucky in love
You can bet on an epic time with this retro bridal shower theme! Channel the glamor and energy of vintage Vegas with a party filled with bright lights, fun activities and games (you could do roulette, mahjong, poker, anything!) and endless cocktails and mocktails. Celebrate love and let the good times roll!
Our top planning tips:
Food: Cocktail wieners, bacon-wrapped dates, mini club sandwiches, fish tacos, dice-shaped cake pops, poker chip-decorated cupcakes
