Throwing a bridal shower should be a fun and exciting event, but it’s a headache for many. It’s hard to be original and unique in a world where everything has been done.
We’ve put together some inspiration for fun, unusual themes for the unconventional bride and her ladies. From the deep blue sea to outer space, take a look at these interesting themes you never thought to turn into a bridal shower.
Bohemian
If you and your friends are not about the glitz and glam, consider a bohemian theme for the bridal shower. Think rustic, dreamy and earthy. Incorporate plants and flowers, wooden decor, feathers and beads. You can specify the dress code, for example everyone has to wear a headband, feathers or flat sandals.
Enchanted Forest
If you have always wanted to live in a fairy tale, this is your chance. Think everything magical. Candles, roses and of course, glitter. Colours that work well are gold and silver, and metallics like pink and purple.
Under the Sea
Mermaids, listen up! Go all out ocean vibes. Tranquil blues and greens, sea horse and star fish decor and faux-coral. Tropical-styled music will add well to the beach atmosphere, and make sure you have vibey cocktails.
Casino Royale
Get your poker face on for this one. Red, black and white are the colours of this glamorous evening. This is a great opportunity to dust off your high heels and show off your gambling skills. You can even watch the movie for the final touch.
Intergalactic
Interested in space? Glow in the dark is the way to go. The sun, moon and stars are the decor inspiration. Get space-themed food and drinks that will ensure a stellar party. Don’t be afraid to turn Star Wars-themed if the bride is a fan.

Celebrities are quick to tie the knot after announcing an engagement. Some very high-profile people, though, took their time to say ‘I do’. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth…
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced families apart as a form of protection. As life goes on, we miss more and more important milestones to the virus. However, this bride was determined to have her beloved grandfather see her in her wedding dress and put the pedal to the metal to make sure he did.
UK couple Alex Pearce and her new husband Philip married on August 29 in a micro-wedding with only 30 guests in attendance and in line with coronavirus restrictions. One of her most important family members, grandfather Graham Burley (87) unfortunately could not attend as it was too high-risk.
So Alex and Philip recently set off on a three-hour, 200 mile (321.869km) road trip to Hampshire to surprise her grandfather at his care home. They wore their wedding gear to relive their special day with Burley.
Upon arrival at the care home, the pair had their temperatures checked before sitting behind a clear screen and and toasting to their big day with the grandfather. Champagne and a slice of cake was on hand for their impromptu celebration.
“When we turned up at the care home it was a complete surprise for grandad, but obviously the staff knew about it. He burst into tears as soon as he saw us. It was incredibly special to visit him,” Alex told Metro UK.
Mr Burley added: “It was very emotional and I did shed a few tears. ‘It meant so much to get to see Alex in the beautiful white wedding dress she wore on her special day.’”

A beach wedding is the quintessential summer event. The sound of the waves gently lapping on the shore and the feeling of sand in between your toes is enough to soothe anyone’s senses.
With such a beautiful backdrop, there isn’t that much you need to do to dress your venue. A few tables, flowers and umbrellas for shade are all you need.
If you want to add that extra flair, there are so many fun and vibrant styling ideas that are guaranteed to wow your guests. Think chandeliers, modern arches and boho-inspired lanterns.
If you’re struggling to visualise, don’t fear. We’ve got some amazing inspiration:

Decorating a wedding cake is a form of art. Anyone can ice a cake, but only true artists can take it to the next level. We love a…
A 30-year-old woman from Colombia had her dream of being a bride come true when she married her long-term love in the hospital, a few days before her death.
Estefany Torres Vera (30) and Duvan Yefren Pabon met at a mall nine years ago, and have been together ever since. They have a seven-year-old son and always wanted to get married but were unable to do so due to their financial situation.
Estefany was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer, and was hospitalised in 2020 as her health deteriorated. Still wanting to marry the love of her life, Estefany and Duvan planned an impromptu hospital wedding.

The pair married in Estefany’s hospital room on September 11. The bride wore a white dress and tiara for their nuptials. They livestreamed the wedding so that their family at home could still attend virtually. Local police organised a brass band to play outside as the bride was wheeled into the room.
“We did not want a painful goodbye, we wanted a joyful one. This gave Estefany the happiness she deserved,” the bride’s sister Julia Andrea Torres Vega said.
The bride sadly died on September 13, just two days after her dream wedding.
