Wedding Shower Table Decoration Ideas

There are no hard and fast rules regarding how one should decorate a wedding shower table. The sky is truly the limit when it comes to style or decor. If, for instance, the happy couple met at a hockey game, it's fine to decorate around a hockey theme. The idea is to personalize your decorations in a way that reflects the couple's personalities and interests. Does this Spark an idea?

Wine and Roses

A bottle of wine, surrounded by wine glasses with wild roses scattered around them, is a simple, stunning arrangement. You can repeat the look evenly spaced down a table. One nice thing about using wine bottles and glasses as decoration is that your guests will actually use them during the shower and, if they sit down at the table to eat and visit, the "centerpieces" won't be in their way.

Baby, It's You

This is a sentimental and fun idea for table decor. Ask the bride and groom's families for pictures of the couple as they were growing up. Make two copies of each photo and promptly give the originals back to the families. Purchase matching picture frames at any discount store and create a display in the center of the table of the couple from birth through courtship. On another table, lay the same photos out, with a piece of paper and pen below each picture. Ask guests to take a look at the photos and to write a caption for the ones that strike their fancy.

Dream Bucket

Buy small metal buckets at a craft store and line the center of the table with the buckets filled with little bouquets of fresh flowers. Place one slightly larger bucket in the center of the table, along with strips of paper and pens. Ask each guest to write her wish for the couple's life together and to add it to the bucket. Tell the couple that you'll hold on to the bucket full of wishes until their first anniversary when they can read the messages together.

Gift Box Elegance

You'll need three gift boxes of graduated sizes for this decoration. Make sure they're all the same color for maximum visual impact. Stack the boxes like you would a snowman, wrap the three boxes together using a coordinating ribbon and arrange them on a plate of the same color for a monochromatic look. Several of these gift box arrangements along the tabletop can add a touch of distinction to your affair.
