Centerpiece Ideas for a Bridal Shower
Coming up with centerpiece ideas for a bridal shower can be fun. Use your imagination, have fun, and remember to include your personality in your decorations. Creating things yourself will always give the atmosphere and the occasion depth and warmth it wouldn't have otherwise. Here are some great centerpiece ideas for a bridal shower.
Advice tree
Have guests fill out pretty cards with relationship and marriage advice. Fold or roll them and string them with decorative wire. Hang them from the branches of a "tree" made from a gnarly, bare tree branch in a strong vase.
Potted Plants and herbs
Sometimes, the simplest arrangements can make the best impressions. Simple potted plants or herbs placed on tables can make great decorations, especially for a bridal shower with an herb, flower, spring or summer theme. Give the plants to the bride after the party or give them away to guests as door and party game prizes. Hanging plants make unusual and unexpected centerpieces.
Candles
Just like for a wedding, candles can make breathtaking centerpieces for a bridal shower party. Use candles in the party's theme color, or have an array of all-white candles on the tablescape. You can use floating candles in crystal bowls, candles in antique lanterns, or candles engraved with the names of the bride and groom.
Theme
Great parties often have great themes. A theme can tie all aspects of the party together into a cohesive whole. Centerpieces can go along with these themes beautifully. Great party themes for bridal showers can go along with the honeymoon or bridal theme. There are many other themes unique to bridal showers, too. At a stock the pantry party, guests are all asked to bring gifts that would be found in a pantry. Herbs and spices or spoons and spatulas in vases would make great centerpieces for a theme like this.
Food
Food makes a unique centerpiece foundation. It can be refreshment and decoration all in one. Chocolate fountains or fondue pots surrounded by delectable dippers make great centerpiece ideas. You can also arrange cupcakes, petit-fours, finger sandwiches, or fruit and vegetables on tiered displays. Fruit sculptures make beautiful centerpiece ideas, too. They can be served alongside chocolate fondue or can make centerpieces all by themselves.
Flowers
Floral arrangements are classic centerpiece ideas. Try an all white arrangement in honor of the bride to-be, or choose flowers based on the season, theme, or color of the party. Roses are a favorite choice for centerpieces for both bridal showers and weddings. Try a centerpiece using roses of one color but an array of types: buds, blooms, wild, and sweetheart roses all in one arrangement.
Nature
Gathered and found objects from nature can make inspired centerpiece ideas for a bridal shower. Beach glass, crystals, flowers, branches, leaves, bird houses, and garden vegetables can all become centerpieces. This category would suit a gardener, a sportswoman, or a bride who loves the outdoors.
Party Favors
Any of the above centerpieces can be used as party gifts for the bride or guests. Let the party game winners go home with their choice of centerpiece.

Do bridal shops really rip out the tags from dresses?
My mom bought me the book "Bridal Bargains" and it said that most bridal shops tear out the tags from the dresses so you can't actually see who made it or what fabric content is of the dress. Is this true?
I've only been to one bridal shop in the last year but all of the dresses had the original tags on them. I was just wondering if this "tag ripping" policy was really that widespread.
Rip out tags, no.
Remove tags, absolutely. Here is why. Woman on a budget shops for dresses, takes up sales woman's time (she's on commission, you know). Woman has written down the model number and size and manufacturer from the tag and then buys the dress cheaper online. The argument from those who do this is that the stores who remove tags are mean and don't deserve their business. Here's a news flash: if you have no intention of buying from them, they aren't losing any business. Oh, so you won't buy your accessories or bridesmaid dresses there either? That's okay, they fully understand your budget - if discount on the 'net is what you want, you are entitled to buy what you want.
Another argument: The boutique should make money by providing service! Spending hours helping someone so she can buy the dress from somebody else is not a service they are required to provide. The salesperson needs to put food on her table. Of course she enjoys her job. You enjoy yours, too, (hopefully) but you don't do it for no pay.
The person who worked for a dry cleaner is absolutely correct. The dress you *purchase* will have the tags inside. Most smaller stores and boutiques will only have a few dresses in a small range of sizes to help you envision what the dress will look like. The owner will then order the dress from the vendor and have it shipped to the store for you. By the way, the boutique can't return that dress to the vendor, so there are no returns to you, either.
Maybe wedding dress vendors on the internet do take returns. If so, that would be one advantage to doing business with them. Different strokes, and all.
Fiber content of the dress - well, very expensive ones are silk, less expensive ones are polyester, either one is going to be dry clean only - if the ornamentation can be cleaned at all.
David's Bridal = polyester, though in some larger cities where the recession isn't so bad, there may be a few silk. They are all made in China, by factories run by David's Bridal.
