4 Simple Yet Elegant Bridal Shower Hacks

One of the most popular wedding seasons of the year is coming up around the corner. That means it’s time to start planning your bridal shower!

Here are four simple, yet elegant hacks that you can use when planning your bridal shower.

Focus on Neutral Colors

This is an especially great hack for creating elegance when the bride you’re celebrating has a colorful or vivacious personality.

Because neutral colors have such a wide range, they can complement any bride’s wedding colors without overpowering them. Neutral colors also keep the wedding colors, when they are present at the shower, from being so prominently featured that the sentimental effect of them are dulled. Add the brides favorite color as a pop of color throughout the decorations.

Keeps Bridesmaid Gifts Simple

Many people find elegance in simplicity. If you’re giving gifts to your bridesmaids at your bridal shower, consider simple gifts that have personal meaning to them.

For example, find your favorite photo of you with each of your bridesmaids. Get them printed in 5x7, and use muted silver frames from the dollar store as their place cards for seating instead of name cards. These will also serve as your gift to your bridesmaids.

For gifts for your guests, consider items like a small package of homemade baked goods or soap that has a specialty shape to it. You can often find the latter at stores that sell bulk items at a discounted price.

Shop Wholesale

Use places like BJ’s Wholesale and Costco to buy your food and refreshments for the bridal shower. Buying wholesale is a great way to save money on one aspect of your wedding and allows you the flexibility to create elegance with a custom menu that you can plan on your own or with your wedding party. This allows you to spend time with your loved ones celebrating instead of having your closest family and friends prepping food while you socialize with acquaintances.

Costco, in particular, has excellent options when it comes to food. For example, buy their chicken salad to create a delicious recreation of brioche bun sandwiches.

Remember to Use Texture & Fabrics

Play with texture and fabrics to create an atmosphere of elegance at your bridal shower. This will work especially well if you’re following the first Hack that was mentioned in this post.

Using things like glass that has been spray-painted a metallic color or fabric that has a sheen to it will bring a certain level of elegance and refinement to your shower without creating a ton of extra work for you or your bridesmaids to do.

Conclusion

Simplicity and ease don’t have to mean lacking elegance. Using these four hacks, you can easily create a bridal shower that is elegant without overwhelming yourself with planning.
