Invitations & Personalized Products

Set the tone for the day with floral-filled invitations and matching personalized details. The Love is in Bloom Wildflower Invitation is soft, romantic, and bursting with botanical beauty — exactly the vibe you want your guests to expect.

Pair it with custom signage, menus, or even thank-you tags like these Wildflower Favor Tags that tie everything together.

These personalized touches feel thoughtful and help your event look beautifully cohesive.

Decorations

Transform your venue into a blooming oasis with layered floral textures, natural elements, and playful signage. Use wildflower garlands, wooden risers, and statement pieces like a "Love is in Bloom" Neon Sign to make your setup extra Instagram-worthy.

Make a statement the moment guests walk in with giant paper flowers or oversized floral cutouts. These larger-than-life blooms can be hung on walls, placed at the entrance, or used as a photo booth backdrop. They instantly add charm, height, and drama to your space.

Another eye-catching idea? A floral wall. Whether it’s made of real flowers, silk blooms, or even a printed backdrop, a floral wall creates the perfect setting for guest photos and adds a lush, luxurious feel. Pair it with a custom neon sign that says “Love is in Bloom” or the bride’s name for a personal touch.

Scatter vintage-style vases and bud vases down the tables, filled with wildflowers, baby’s breath, peonies, and garden roses. Mix in glass and ceramic textures to keep it visually interesting and organic. You can even include citrus slices or fruit elements in clear vases for a fresh twist.

To warm up the atmosphere and add a romantic glow, incorporate colorful taper candles in mismatched holders. Go for muted pinks, soft yellows, dusty lilacs, and sage greens to echo the floral palette. Candles are a simple detail that elevates the table setup and ties in beautifully with the overall vibe.

Table Setup

Think soft pastels, delicate florals, and sweet details like place cards and personalized napkins. These Floral Bridal Shower Plates and Napkins bring both charm and convenience to the party table.

What to Wear

The bride-to-be should be glowing in white, of course — but for guests, think floral prints, flowy dresses, and soft pastel tones. This Romantic Floral Midi Dress is perfect for a garden party, and it photographs beautifully.

Encourage a “bloom dress code” on your invite so everyone can dress the part. Bonus: the photos will look extra cohesive.

You can also play classic Bridal Shower Games like “He Said, She Said” or “How Well Do You Know the Bride?” Printables in wildflower themes keep it cute and cohesive.

Activities

What’s a garden party without a few blooming fun activities?

Start with a DIY Floral Crown Station — not only is it a fun hands-on activity, but guests get to wear their creations for the rest of the shower.

You can also set up a candle painting station, where guests can paint on the candles & keep them as a bridal shower favor.

Favors: Thoughtful Blooms to Take Home

Send your guests home with something just as beautiful as the day itself! For a favor idea that’s both interactive and memorable, set up a bloom bar—a charming flower stand filled with fresh seasonal florals where guests can create their own mini bouquets. Provide kraft paper wraps, ribbon, or sweet little fabric bags so they can package their arrangements like a mini market bundle. It’s a gorgeous and fun experience that also doubles as a take-home gift!

Want a lasting touch? Add mini seed packets with a tag that says “Let love grow”—a sweet reminder that love, like flowers, blooms with care. You can even personalize the packaging to match your bridal shower theme.

Another darling idea: crochet flower bookmarks. They’re dainty, meaningful, and perfect for a garden-inspired celebration. Whether your guests love to read or simply enjoy something handmade, they’ll cherish this little token of your day.
