- Traditionally, flowers are used as table centerpieces for bridal showers, but think of a creative way to display the flowers. Purchase fish bowls, and float fresh flower buds in the water. Put colored vase gems in the bottom of the fish bowls to add extra color. Purchase a collection of mini vases in different colors and heights. Put a small bouquet of fresh flowers in each vase. Try to use some of the bride's favorite flowers in the vases. Tie a matching ribbon around each vase. Place these in the center for the centerpiece, or use these as placecards, writing each guest's name on a vase. These can double as bridal shower favors.
- Adding details to bridal shower tables provide a touch of elegance. Include napkin rings. Wrap linens with satin ribbon, placing a fresh flower in the center. Visit the local fabric store for extra swatches of fabric. Consider using a variety of patterns and colors matching the theme. Use fabric glue to tuck under uneven edges of fabric. Search the clearance bin at the craft store for a matching ribbon. Make placecards for bridal shower tables. Cut cardstock into the desired size, and write the guest's name on the placecard. Consider personalizing the placecards with jewels, ribbons or dried flowers. Use hot glue to hold the items in place.
- Place edible decorations on bridal shower tables. Use these as table centerpieces, shower favors or just something small for the guests to enjoy. Create a table centerpiece with decorated cupcakes. Use a cupcake stand to display beautifully decorated cupcakes in the center of the table. These can serve as the dessert for the bridal shower. Place monogrammed cookies with the brides initials at each place setting to serve as a guest favor. These add color and design to the table. Fill martini glasses with some of the bride's favorite candies to serve as the centerpiece or as an accompaniment to the table decorations.
