2. Decorations

The bridal shower decoration can either make or mar the bridal shower. A rustic bridal shower decoration is incomplete without the wooden, burlap and mason jar decorations. Here is how to incorporate these items into the bridal shower decoration.

Welcome Sign: Welcome guests and grab their attention with a rustic wooden chalkboard sign. Get your creative side out and craft a beautiful welcome message for guests.

Guestbook: The guestbook is a special memento and helps the bride remember everyone who attended her bridal shower. Replace the traditional guestbook with a rustic tree frame guestbook.

Banner: This bride-to-be burlap banner is a great rustic bridal shower decoration. Simply hang the banner and let guests gush over it.

 Backdrop: Make sure guests can take beautiful pictures for the gram with a beautiful rustic backdrop.

Tablecloth:  A white lace tablecloth is perfect to infuse more color into the different shades of brown of the decoration and the lace gives a classy edge to the decor.

Centerpieces: For the centerpiece you can use distressed wooden flower box that comes with mason jars. Fill the mason jars or flower box with a bunch of baby’s breath flower.

Dinnerware: Set up some rustic or wooden plates and cutlery with some glass mason jars for drinking, the mason jars can be used in place of regular cups.

3. Food

The bridal shower food is always a great way to depict any bridal shower theme and the rustic bridal shower food is no different.  For the food options you can make chocolate covered strawberries, chicken salad sandwiches, meatballs, chips and salsa. You can also set up a popcorn bar, get some cute popcorn boxes and let people serve themselves.

When it comes to the drinks you can serve lemonade and iced tea. Provide mason jars for guests to serve themselves with.

For dessert you can bake a cake with no frosting or simple white frosting. You can also bake plain cupcakes using rustic cupcake wrappers.

You can label each food and drink using cute chalkboard signs.
