Bridal Shower Party – 4 Great Decorating Ideas
Written by admin on June 30, 2010 in Decoration
The bridal shower party is traditionally the last party a bride goes to as a single woman. It is also a party that celebrates her past and present life along with her future as a bride and wife.
If you’re throwing a bridal shower party, it’s always a great idea to plan ahead, preferably at least two weeks before. This gives you enough time to send out the invites, order what you’ll need for the party and put up the necessary decorations.
To help you with your bridal shower decorating activity, here are some great ideas you can try:
1. Go for simplicity
Simple doesn’t have to mean dull and lifeless. When done correctly, it can also create a stunning and elegant look for your bridal shower decorations. Use pure white for table cloths, napkins, candles, curtains and balloons. It’s clean, fresh and makes any room sunny and inviting. Once you’ve set the mood, create splashes of great color on the table setting, utensils, balloons and other accents. Use gold, silver or cobalt and jade for a rich texture.
2. Not one to go for purity? Go for color instead
The right use of color brings life and the right kind of ambience for the bridal shower party. Choose decorations based on the color scheme of the wedding or on the bride’s favorite color. If you can’t find a room with the right color, choose one with a basic color like white or pale beige and then use color for the accents and the decors.
3. Try sexy decors
Why not try bordello-inspired decors for your bridal shower party? Put up brightly-colored chiffon drapes or use silk hangings to decorate the walls. Place floating candles on shallow dishes in different parts of the room and place elaborately-designed pillows on the sofa and larger ones on the floor. Think rich and voluptuous and go for curvy vases and table decors in deep colors.
4. A shower in full bloom
When it comes to bridal shower decorations, you can’t go wrong with flowers. They look especially nice whether you’re having a shower party outdoors or indoors. Use flowers that are in season so you can buy in bulk. That way, you can go overboard and never run out of blooms. Use roses, daisies, carnations, lilies and lily of the valley or combine different flowers to create a stunning effect.
Tie a bunch of flowers and use them to decorate curtains or place large fish bowls filled with water and submerge cut flower heads in them. Spread petals on the sofa, over the table cloth and on the floor. They make the room look beautiful and infuse the area with a wonderful scent.

Interior Decorating Idea – Do Colors Have To Match Perfectly In Every Room?

Did you grow up with the interior decorating idea that colors had to match? Whether that idea was in reference to colors in home decor, shoes/purses, makeup, or any number of other areas of our lives, everything had to match! That thought is not as prevalent today but still merits attention especially as your home decorating idea begins to develop.
You might say that color is an imperfect science. If you don’t believe me, try looking through a paint sample display for that “perfect” color. Remember, the lighting in the store is much different than the lighting in your home which also changes with the weather conditions and the time of the day and year.
Let’s look at the pros for matching colors in your interior decorating idea:
* You have a favorite color
* Your favorite color makes a statement and you want lots of it
* You don’t want to make so many decisions-you know what color you like and stick to it
* You love the challenge of perfectly matching colors
* Matching colors is second nature to you and you don’t want to change
Now, let’s look at the cons for matching colors in your interior decorating idea:
* It’s difficult to match color because of texture
* It’s difficult to match color because of light
* You want to incorporate several colors in your decorating plans
* You like the challenge of mixing and matching colors
* There is more flexibility and freedom to change your home decor over time
Consider a “middle of the road” approach to your interior decorating idea:
The “middle of the road” approach includes coordinating and grouping colors as well as paying attention to lighter and darker shades and tones. Putting three varying shades of purple together will look magnificent. Putting five reds with the same tone together will certainly give energy and pizzazz to a room-get the idea? What a great way to implement your interior decorating idea!
As you walk from room to room, color makes a home flow comfortably; it is the connecting component. In your mind you unknowingly take the color scheme from room to room for a few brief seconds. Use a single color as a theme that runs throughout the house while still providing each room with its own color persona. Keep that in mind as you are embarking on your next home decorating project.
As a side note, I read in a recent newspaper article that matching shoes and purses are making a comeback, but not as perfectly matched as in the past-food for thought!
