Editorial Guidelines Updated on September 21, 2018 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Lance Nicoll If the bride's love for pink rivals that of Julia Roberts's character in the film Steel Magnolias, a pink-themed bridal shower is a sure way to seriously impress her. Not sold on a totally rosy party? That's okay, too. If you just want to celebrate the blushing bride with a hint of the color, we've rounded up subtle ways to incorporate the girly hue in styles that range from whimsical to super sophisticated. Whether you think she'll love hot pink, soft pastels, or a variety of saturated shades, there are so many ways to incorporate the fun, feminine color into her bridal shower décor. Start things off with a pink invitation, then keep the theme going with decorations (balloons, banners, and other party store staples), bubbly, and dessert in the same pretty hue. Don't forget the dress code, which is an easy way to honor the chosen color palette. Ask everyone (including the guest-of-honor) to done shades of pink or even pink accessories to get in the spirit. Flowers are another area where you can really go for it. If you're looking to add an activity other than classic games to the day, consider having a flower crown station. Poppy + Mint Floral Company provided a selection of blooms for this bride and her guests to assemble head pieces with. You could also setup a flower bar where guests arrange their favorites in a vase to take home at the end of the celebration. Last but not least, skip the DIY entirely and just decorate tables with bud vases of roses and ranunculus in the brightest pink hues you can find.
