We love how bridal showers have evolved and how many bridesmaids are now taking the lead and creating memorable showers for the bride to be's, incorporating either themes or colours, but leaving the guests feeling like they got a taste of what the bride loves most.

This theme is a perfect example of mixing vintage with modern and keeping it all girly at the same time. By using different shades of pink and throwing colours like yellow brown and blue in the mix, this bridal shower indicates that the bride loves to have fun. Different patterns also make for an interesting showcase.

By creating different food stations for the guests to visit, you'll keep them occupied and entertained and this will also encourage the guests to mingle with each other. You don't necesserily have to use thousands of rands worth of flowers, but rather use bunches tied at every station and decorate with old suitcases, board games and beautiful napkins.

Most guests will tell you that they tend to remember a party by the food that was served together with the overall feel of it. Keep it interesting by serving sweet and savoury eats and also have different alcholic and non-alcholic drinks available. Keep the eats simple to avoid having to serve the food with eating utensils. Rather opt for smaller finger foods and keep napkins around for the messy eaters.
