Is someone near and dear to you getting married and you need a few wedding shower decorations ideas? Since you know the couple so well, there’s a strong chance that the joyful responsibility of throwing the wedding shower could fall on you.

Here are 12 beautiful wedding shower decorations ideas that you might not have thought about.

1. Go natural with a woodland theme

The nature-loving couple will adore a shower decorated in a naturalistic or woodland style. Think mossy green and teal painted pinecones for centerpieces, woodland animal- and bird-shaped cookies, and DIY felt decorations. Woodland-themed wedding shower decorations convert to great guest gift ideas, too. Decorate tables with – and then give away – live ferns alternating with seasonal herbs and florals like sunflowers, daisies, or wildflowers.

Need a venue to host the party? You could rent this luxury forest event barn to host the shower in the Catskills. It’s a gorgeous woodland retreat complete with an event team to make the wedding shower look amazing and run smoothly.

2. Help the bride blush

Decorating wedding showers in shades of blush is a classic style choice, and the combination of blush and gold is a top trend. This effect is great for a champagne brunch or an elegant dinner. Bring the sparkle with crystal or take the shower in a vintage direction with lace and velvet elements.

Go wild with luxurious, elegant flowers like peonies or roses. Blush-themed shower swag can be entertainment-oriented, such as glassware, shelving for bottles and glasses, charcuterie boards, or bling for stemware.

If you’re in Los Angeles and looking for a venue to match this theme, then consider this Blush House in Silver Lake. It’s a blush-toned home with rose gold fixtures, plenty of sunlight, and a cute outdoor deck. It’s even been featured in the New York Times!

And check out this helpful Peersapce review from a past renter: “Great space with beautiful natural light. Very clean and an easy entry and exit process!”

3. Quaint tea party

Gift the guest of honor with a matching tea set and tableware, and set a decorative wedding shower table along a tea theme. A cupcake table can be really cute. Accompany the elegant setting with delicate florals like spray roses and baby’s breath, or herbs for tea like lavender, mint, and lemon verbena.

A perfect setting for this type of shower is a historic Victorian with antique furniture or a specialty tearoom like this adorable dollhouse tea room in Miami, FL. It seats 60 guests and is stocked with a kitchenette and gorgeous antiques.

A champagne fountain would go incredibly well with this wedding shower theme. Peerspace listings include available amenities, but if you should want something that isn’t offered, simply reach out and ask the venue’s dedicated host. They can likely connect you to trusted local vendors who can bring everything from catering to audiovisual gear straight to your venue.

4. Host an elegant garden party

Garden party wedding showers are classic for a reason – they’re beautiful. To decorate your wedding shower, go with any on-trend color theme. Create flower garlands and decorate them with strands of lights. You might purchase potted foliage or seed packets as gifts for the guests. Host the shower at a botanical garden, plant nursery, or in a backyard garden.

Peerspace offers hundreds of such venues, like the lovely outdoor space at this urban movement studio in Portland, OR. Go for the garden, stay for the yoga workshops!

5. Swanky cocktail party

Not too long ago, wedding showers were just for the brides, but now they can be for both members of the couple. Throwing an upscale cocktail wedding shower is a great sentiment for grown guests. Stock the guest of honor’s bar with decorative and drinkable liqueur, pretty glassware, and a consistent color theme. Place stems of roses in matching or upcycled vases. Opulent garlands of pinwheels, starbursts, flowers, and strands of lights make memorable photo backdrops.

Prefer to have someone else do the work? We can’t blame you! You can always book a gorgeously-styled and well-stocked cocktail party venue near you on Peerspace!

6. Go boho chic

Whether your wedding shower is indoors or outdoors, a bohemian decoration theme always works. Go crazy with the flowers and jewel-toned tapestries. Toss around big, embroidered cushions or poofs for seating. Think beaded curtains as photo backdrops, and candles or LED lights in vintage glassware as table décor. Add peacock feathers to floral arrangements.

7. Farm party

Host your wedding shower on a farm like this stunning Peerspace in New Tecumseth, Ontario. The 155 square acres of jaw-dropping beauty will make your party one for the books. Tables and chairs are included amenities – decorate them with checkered tablecloths and raffia bows.

Handcraft individual place settings with burlap and bling, bust out the colorful Mason jars as glassware, and source some hay bales as seating or a photogenic background. Weathered metal signs make great accent pieces to fit this wedding shower decoration theme.

8. Seated upscale dinner

Sad but true – guests often leave wedding showers hungry. Pass-around appetizers and crudites just don’t cut it after a couple of hours of socializing and gifting, so after the party, they run to the nearest eatery. Don’t be that host. Center the shower itself around food.

Set it in a gorgeous Peerspace restaurant like this South Orange, NJ eatery, decorated to a T with whimsical French-Mediterranean elements throughout. The main dining area accommodates 50 people and catering and bar service is available for a fee. Ask the host for details.

In fact, as a Peerspace creative mentioned in their review of this restaurant: “Mary was incredible, such a lovely restaurant they her husband designed from the ground up!!! Great Filming Location And Amazing Five star Food!!!!”

9. Stylish hodgepodge

Not every wedding shower needs a strict theme. Sometimes we just want to have fun with unique decorations. Spread around a mishmash of fun flowers in art deco vases. Drape velvet or sateen fabrics, hang string lights, and enhance tables with taper candles or the LED version. You might opt to go with a color theme, but you don’t have to. Keep it light.

10. Festive fiesta

Latinx guest of honor or otherwise, a South of the Border-themed wedding shower is a real people-pleaser. Who doesn’t love tacos and pretty margaritas, bright colors, and big paper flowers? Look for cobalt glassware to make a cantina-style fiesta.

You can always opt to book a Peerspace like this vibrant Mexican cantina in Los Angeles! After all, it offers the decor, the food and drinks, and indoor/outdoor seating to delight every guest (while making your job much easier).

11. Retro noir

Imagine a noir film and aim to decorate the wedding shower in a similar motif. Think black and white with singular shots of color, strategic mood lighting, and backdrops for the ceremonial Instagram sessions.

12. Tropical / beach

Fun-loving celebrants will enjoy toasting the wedding in a tropical – or tropically themed – setting. For the best decoration ever, host the party in a beach house Peerspace like this one in Manhattan Beach, California. Watch the sunset over the sea from the top-level deck or through the home’s huge windows.
