By employing a cohesive, unique theme, you can elevate her milestone experience and make it one she’ll remember forever.

And remember, milestone experiences should be celebrated in milestone venues. Luckily, you’ve landed on Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals. Our platform can connect you with amazingly stylish venues helmed by helpful locals who can help you bring to life your bride’s dream bridal shower. We’ll share a few amazing Peerspace event venue suggestions ahead alongside our bridal shower decoration ideas to get you started. 

1. Let a shimmering lake be the backdrop to a nature-filled shower

Imagine how dazzled the bride-to-be will be when she sees that her big party is set on the shore of a gorgeous lake. But how will you secure a lakeside venue? The answer is simple and exciting – rent a lakehouse venue through Peerspace that suits your needs.

As we mentioned, Peerspace is the leading online source for peer-to-peer venue bookings. There are thousands of Peerspaces in hundreds of countries stateside and abroad. More are added every day! Venues range from mansions to art galleries to this gorgeous artist’s lake house in Larchmont, NY where you can host a grand bridal shower with up to 50 guests. 

2. Repurpose sentimental photos and create a loving slideshow

To get the romantic feelings flowing, frame special photos of the bride and spouse-to-be, and spread them over a wall and around the tables in your bridal shower space. Photos of the couple when they first met, special moments, and maybe even some childhood photos will amplify the warm fuzzy feels for this bridal shower decoration idea.

Create a slideshow of some of the special photos to project on the wall and set it to accompany a sentimental playlist. Hang a large empty frame among some of the photos of the bride and her partner for a photo-taking wall to create new memories.

Make this idea extra special by booking a screening room near you through Peerspace. For instance, if you’re in the NYC area, you can book this private screening room in Chelsea. It has the professional equipment you need to pull off this thoughtful idea as well as cozy seating for eight guests. Oh, and our favorite accessory — a popcorn machine!

3. Charm her with an outdoor shower set in fairytale gardens 

This historic Peerspace home in Long Valley, NJ is gilded with fairytale charm and surrounded by five acres of exquisitely designed and maintained gardens, gorgeous in any season.

The stone walls and walkways and exposed beams, terrace, vintage fireplace, and rose gardens are sure to whisk your bridal shower guests away to once upon a time. Lush, natural photo backdrops naturally occur around every turn. Lounge in the gardens, enjoy the pool, or explore the rooftop space in this magical and secluded location.

One of the best aspects of Peerspace is that you have the opportunity to read reviews from recent renters. Of this garden venue, past renter Jennifer R. said it’s “perfect from start to finish!”

4. Cowgirl up at an Aspen ranch with luxury amenities and amazing views

Here’s one of our most unique bridal shower decoration ideas! Bedazzle this stunning Aspen, CO cabin with Western-themed accouterments. You might source some cowboy boots and use them as flower vases. Then, sprinkle rhinestones on gingham-print tablecloths.

5. Serve a fair-weather brunch in a bold and sunny venue

You can never go wrong with hosting a brunch-themed event. This goes double for a bridal shower! If your event falls in summer or spring, decorate with tropical flowers like hibiscus and seasonal fruit like mango.

Be sure to book a bright and sunny Peerspace venue, like this modern event space in Irvine, CA, to provide a gorgeous bridal shower brunch backdrop. It is a 3,600-square-foot collaboration space with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for hosting a beautiful bridal brunch. We also love how the color scheme can be replicated in your choice of foods and decor, like its mango yellows and hibiscus coral hues!

Use those brighter colors, and serve champagne and a selection of chilled juices to make mimosa and bellini-themed cocktails. Crepes are always classy – this year, consider serving savory varieties like Vietnamese bánh xèo with shrimp and bean sprouts.

6. Gather boho-chic style to create an exquisite setting

For your laidback bride-to-be, go with the classic – and classy – boho-chic motif. To achieve this style, decorate with lots of dusty pink and ivory-hued flowers. Choose an outdoor setting and gather around a long, low table spread with picnic blankets and cushions for lounging.

You can also opt to book a boho venue through Peerspace that’s already gorgeous and ready for you! For our friends in Southern California, consider booking this fabulous tropical boho beach bungalow in San Clemente. It provides indoor and outdoor space and optional boho picnic decor for an added fee.

For photos, set up a macrame background accented with flowers and greenery. Adorn the bride-to-be with a floral headpiece for that extra boho glam, and string lights overhead to set the mood as twilight approaches.

7. Host a fancy cocktail party in a swanky bar and lounge venue

Throw your bride-to-be a sophisticated cocktail party bridal shower. Choose a swanky venue with decoration pieces like chandeliers and velvet or leather for a sparkling and lounge-worthy vibe. While you can find lux bridal shower-worthy bars in cities across the globe using Peerspace, one of our favorites has to be this swanky speakeasy bar and lounge in Manhattan, NYC.

Book it, and then decorate it with a metallic color theme and starburst-shaped balloons, and serve fancy cocktails and champagne. Use multi-sized metallic balloons against a tinsel wall for a photo backdrop as one of our most memorable bridal shower decoration ideas. 

8. Treat her to a tropical waterfall pool and spa paradise

If you’re looking for a natural paradise vibe for your bridal shower near Houston, TX, then check out this amazing outdoor pool and spa space. It boasts two grottos and four waterfalls all set in a stone nature-scaped backyard with lush tropical gardens and a green lawn area.

Take advantage of the fully covered outdoor kitchen with a bar and TV, and lounge around the pools, on the deck, or in the courtyard. Add-ons you’ll want to consider include the use of a dressing room and shower, gas grill, heated pool, heated spa, and fire pit.

If you want to enjoy a private garden space, then consider using Peerspace to book an elegant one near you. Our friends in the Philadelphia area can book this award-winning horticulture society-recognized garden in Langhorne, PA. It includes numerous Italianate gardens and terraces in a super lush and natural setting.

Adorn long tables with crisp white linen and hydrangea centerpieces. Place china settings with teacups and saucers. Serve tea, plates of finger sandwiches, and towers of macarons, and if you like, add some bubbly mocktails or Tom Collins.

11. Host the bridal shower at an airy beachside estate

Take your bridal shower to the turquoise blue waters of the Florida coast at this stunning beach house in Ponte Vedra Beach. It’s no more than a few steps to the sand, and the home boasts four large decks and large windows for lounging and taking in the views.

The indoor space features a sleek, modern, and comfortable design. Serve food and drinks buffet style on the long kitchenette counter or take them to the outdoor tables and chairs. You can engage the coastal environment for decoration ideas, using shells from the beach and a teal and white color theme on the invitations.

12. Add sparkle in a winter wonderland no matter the season

Does your bride-to-be love the magic of the cooler season? Decorate an indoor venue with tree branches wrapped in twinkling lights. You could even book a Peerspace venue that’s already decorated with some holiday magic year-round, like this nightclub venue in Hawthorne, CA that has a winter wonderland-themed room!

Leave the branches au natural or spray paint them glittering silver for extra glam. Iridescent or glittering metallic table settings will set the mood. Try LED light-up helium balloons to create the sparkle of snowfall in the air. Go with white roses and eucalyptus fronds or lush potted plants to bring winter inside.
