Bridal showers offer an opportunity for close friends and family members to come together in a smaller setting prior to the wedding to celebrate the bride. While showering a bride-to-be is steeped in tradition, the theme of the shower doesn’t have to be. We’ve compiled a list of unique bridal shower themes to help you put a new twist on a bridal shower.

Garden Bridal Shower Theme

With spring approaching, this is a great garden party option for a bridal shower. Columbia has some great garden spaces to rent through Historic Columbia. A Garden Bridal Shower does not have to be outside in the garden, you can also bring the garden inside to you.

High Tea Bridal Shower Theme

Get dressed up, and celebrate the bride with a High Tea Bridal Shower. Enjoy dainty sandwiches, sip tea, and imagine yourself sitting in the queen’s parlor.

What better way to celebrate the romance of the bride getting married than by bringing romantic Paris to her. Imagine cafes, patisserie, and beauty all around.

Travel Inspired Bridal Shower Theme

You don’t need your passport for a Travel Inspired Bridal Shower. If your bride loves to travel, this may be the theme to celebrate her. You can travel the world, or choose a place she loves or will travel to soon.

Wine Tasting Bridal Shower Theme

Plan a Wine Tasting Bridal Shower at a local winery, or bring the winery to you by hosting at home. A selection of wines with paired snacks are a great way to celebrate the bride.
