Pretty in Blush: Bridal Shower Brunch Ideas to Wow Your Guests

Planning a bridal shower brunch is a big deal—after all, this is your chance to honor the bride-to-be and make sure she feels celebrated in a more casual setting before the chaos of the big day.

But while a bridal brunch is important, it doesn’t have to be stressful for you. There are so many classic ways to put together a gorgeous get-together without spending a lot of time and money on it. To help speed up the process even more, we’ve put together a gorgeous bridal brunch plan featuring timeless shades of blush pink that are perfect for any blushing bride!

Set a Joyful Mood with a Backdrop

Our favorite way to celebrate a fresh start is with flowers—lots of them! So why not create a gorgeous backdrop for the brunch using artificial hydrangea mats? These large flower-covered mats make it easy to cover a large area in gorgeous faux blooms for maximum impact. Hang them up right behind the future bride’s chair, or use them to create a glamorous photo backdrop. Either way, these realistic-looking flowers will take any wall from drab to fab in minutes.

For bonus points, take the look one step further with a neon sign featuring the bride’s soon-to-be last name, “Love,” or “Bride.”

Create Gorgeous Place Settings

Of course, the focal point of any brunch is the table, so beautiful place settings are a must! And the secret? Chargers! Charger plates instantly elevate any place setting just by adding that eye-catching layer. And don’t think they need to be expensive. We love how these plastic rose gold-edged chargers tie in with a blush pink theme! They’ll go seamlessly with white plates and tablecloths, keeping things extra simple for you!

And while your first thought of brunch might be sipping mimosas out of crystal stemware, switch out those champagne flutes for some embossed glass cups in blush pink. Not only will they bring more of that beautiful color to the table, but the unique look will make the settings even more memorable!

Finish off the place settings with rose gold or silver flatware on blush napkins. Or, if you’re looking to save a little money, grab some pre-rolled plastic cutlery!

Make the Food Look Fantastic

Whether you’re going all out on brunch or hoping to do it on a budget, a few curated touches can make any spread look top-notch!

First things first: white tablecloths! Cover each food and drink table in bright white fabric tablecloths for a base layer that complements any dishes you set out.

Next, turn your food into artwork by layering different heights of dishes. We love the versatility of silver trays because they provide easy access to appetizers, sandwiches, desserts, and more! We recommend placing several silver trays at the front side of your table, then adding more height to the back with elevated stands in silver or pink! These are perfect for items that already have some height, like egg cups, a berry crepe cake, or an elegant breakfast ring. You can also stack up bite-sized delicacies like cinnamon rolls, croissants, or muffins!

To complete the elegant look, weave faux vines or garlands of pink flowers between the dishes to add one extra dimension and make those trays really pop.

And you’re done! With just a few items, you can turn any space into a beautiful blush soiree that will make your future bride feel extra special! All that’s left for you to do is plan a delicious brunch menu and sip on a well-earned mimosa!
