There's no better way to celebrate the newest, blooming-est chapter in your life than a springtime bridal shower. Planning your bridal shower is no minimal task, so in this blog, we'll explore how to choose your floral décor and theme.
Flowers are heavily associated with big celebrations and femininity. Your choice of flowers highlights elements of beauty and elegance, drawing parallels to a springtime bride.
Luckily, our experts at Forest of Flowers not only have the know-how, but we also have some essential tips and tricks to designing the most stunning springtime bridal shower of your dreams!
In the same way that flowers come in a myriad of shapes, colours, and sizes, women have been celebrated too for their diverse beauty and individuality over the years. This is why every bride should have arrangements that are unique to them and their personal vision.
The tradition of bridal showers dates back centuries and has certainly evolved over time. Becoming popular at the rise of the 20th century, bridal showers are often hosted in the bride's home with female friends and family members in attendance.
This event is intended to celebrate the bride, including gifts, guest offerings, food, drink, and most importantly: stunning floral decor. And what a perfect time to celebrate a new milestone in your life during the season of new growth!
But, how do you decide on what florals to have at your bridal shower when there are so many options available? We have some of the top florists in Ontario, so we can help.
Springtime couples are truly blessed with a myriad of beautiful seasonal blooms that they can choose from. From elegant roses to delicate tulips; the quirky calla lily to the eye-catching hydrangea - there's no shortage of choices available.

Spring is perhaps the most wonderful time for pre-wedding celebrations, so deciding on a theme can be both exciting and tricky. With blooming flowers, clear skies and delicate temperatures, it's easy to see why many brides choose to host their celebrations in gardens, parks, vineyards, or even their own backyard. The weather is almost always perfect for incorporating outdoor activities like lawn games or even cocktail hours.

Spring bridal shower details can come with a wide range of colour palettes. For example, pastel hues such as blush, lavender, light blue, and yellow are delicate colours that can not only be used in arrangements but are popular colours for bridesmaids' dresses and arrangements. These colours can create a light and airy atmosphere that's perfect for a springtime bridal shower.
So, what theme best suits your springtime bridal shower?
Pastels are popular hues for bridesmaids' dresses, floral arrangements and other décor that you'd find in both wedding and bridal shower planning.

The tradition of including "something blue" in a bride's wedding ensemble dates back to an old English rhyme from the Victorian era. The saying goes: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her show." Typically, each item is brought to the bride in the form of various gifts. As such, something blue can be a great theme to draw inspiration from for your springtime bridal shower.

Backyard beverages are a popular element to any bridal shower – so why wouldn't you base your theme on this iconic drink? If you want to embrace femininity, you may choose more red and pink tones to highlight romantic flowers that express love.

Now that you've decided on your flowers and your theme, you must consider your other decorations. Your decorations should coincide with your overall theme, so be sure to pick elements that compliment your colour theme and arrangements.
Here are some suggestions for wonderful accents to along with your floral decorations:
Oversized Balloons
Perfect for nearly any theme, oversized balloons come in several colours and styles and can be a great addition to your bridal shower's décor. Choose colours that match your theme or even consider customizing them with cute messages, such as:
These balloon decorations provide endless opportunities for photo-ops and make a great addition to any springtime bridal shower.
If you have a more romantic theme, having rose garland decorating your indoor or outdoor space can offer a beautiful, whimsical touch to your bridal shower. You can choose to have fresh flowers but can also safe a little by featuring silk roses or other artificial flowers. Don't forget to add accents such as greenery.
They also make great gifts!
Can you even call it a celebration without having confetti? Table confetti is an amazing way to spice up any table. There's a lot of cute confetti options out there, including large or small pieces. Personally, we think the bride's future last name is a great touch to add to custom confetti. What's more? You can get them in a variety of colours to match your theme, such as:
Custom confetti are easy to coordinate with the rest of your décor.
If you really want to lean further into a floral theme, you can have flower crowns made for you and your guests. The best part? They're an excellent take-home memento from your celebration and are easy to match up with your desired theme. You have the option to have them made DIY, crafted by a talented florist, or purchased online using artificial blooms.
Flower crowns can offer an almost ethereal, fantastical touch to your springtime bridal shower. Perfectly on theme!
