The big day is fast approaching and the final details are being arranged to make sure your wedding day is absolutely perfect. Perhaps the most important aspect of planning your beautiful wedding is saying ‘thank you’ to those that have supported you throughout your life – your close friends and family. Surprise guests with stunning wedding favors on your big day. And before you walk down the aisle to become Mrs newlywed it’s important to celebrate with the girls who have supported you throughout your life to let them know how much you care. To throw the ultimate bridal shower it’s important to focus on the small details like decorations and small gifts for your guests.

Before you can get stuck into the small details of decorations for your bridal shower and wedding gift ideas, you will need to have a wedding theme in mind. For those looking for the perfect boho chic wedding we have some great suggestions  to make your wedding stand out from the rest.

Set the bohemian tone with gold or neutral coloured balloons to embellish the party. Creams, browns, golds and other soft neutral tones give off an earthy palette giving the impression of an outside bridal shower.
Take your party outside for a rustic feel – depending on the weather of course. Balloons can be taken outside when tied to weights or other large objects. These His and Hers balloons from Bridal Shower Co create a fun and boho party that your guests will adore.

No boho bridal shower is complete without the iconic flower crowns for your guests to enjoy. These will turn your bridal shower into a bohemian wonderland in seconds. These gifts don’t cost very much and guests can take them home with them after the shower. Stick to bright white colours or any themes your shower or wedding includes so flower crowns suit guests outfits and the tone of the shower.
If you want something a bit different from the traditional flower crown, why not consider buying silver or gold headpieces or jewelry for guests to wear at the shower. These can be a great alternative to flower crowns and still offer the same boho vibe.

Add a personal touch to your bridal shower with DIY confetti that you can make at home. This is a great way to use up any spare material you have lying around and can make such a stunning table decoration.
Simply, make a template of a heart in cardboard and draw around it onto your material. Cut out the hearts and keep them safe for your special occasion. You can also get heart hole punchers to cut through the material and make your job a lot easier. You can use a mix of different material and you can store and save these decorations for a very long time.
