A bridal shower can echo the wedding colors or go its own way with something lighter and more playful. These 12 palettes cover garden brunches, citrus themes, champagne toasts and modern minimal showers, with tips for invites, tables and favors.
Blush and sage
Soft and romantic; the go-to shower pairing with lots of greenery.
Garden party
Peonies, roses and fresh leaves for an outdoor tea or brunch.
Main squeeze lemon
Lemons and leaves for a bright, cheerful citrus theme.
Champagne toast
Bubbly golds and cream; elegant for a mimosa bar or tea party.
Something blue
A nod to the old tradition; china-blue and white feel fresh and classic.
Peach bellini
Warm peach tones that glow in daylight and at brunch.
Modern minimal
Crisp whites and charcoal with one accent flower; clean and chic.
Lavender fields
Lavender with olive greenery; inspired by Provence.
Strawberry fields
Strawberries and cream for a sweet, summery shower.
Disco bride
Hot pink, silver and mirror balls for a party-girl bride.
Terracotta boho
Earthy tones with pampas and dried flowers; great for desert or fall showers.
Tuscan olive
Olive branches and warm clay for an Italian-themed brunch.
Tap a color to copy its hex code. The pencil icon opens the palette in the editor so you can change it.
Coordinate with the wedding, not copy it
Borrow one or two colors from the wedding palette and add lighter shades. The shower feels connected to the big day but still has its own look.
Start with the theme
Pick a theme first (garden tea, citrus, champagne brunch) and choose colors from it. It makes decisions on balloons, napkins, cake and favors much quicker.
Give guests a dress hint
Add a line to the invite like 'wear your favorite pastel' or 'garden party attire'. Guests feel confident, and the photos look cohesive.
