Bridal Shower Table Decorations

My daughter, sisters and I held a bridal shower for my future daughter-in law. Since the wedding will be in Tucson I chose a theme of Cactus and Lace. Here is how we decorated the tables.

All the tables were covered in white tables cloths. Thankfully my sister Lynn bought about a dozen white table cloths in all shapes and sizes several years ago when they were 70% off. They sure come in handy for parties and showers.

I bought three rolls of burlap table runners that have lace along the side edges. After covering the tables I rolled out the runners and cut them to size.

I bought the runners on Amazon. They are so cute and I was able to keep them for future projects.

My sister Jean bought large succulents at a local nursery. She put them in terra cotta pots, and Lynn tied lace around the pots.

I bought cactus plates and napkins from Oriental Trading Company for both the BBQ lunch and the cupcakes.

Love the plates and the items on the runner were for our ice breaker. The ice breaker game will be in a future blog.

Cactus plates for the cupcakes.

Dinner and dessert napkins.

The last decorations for the table were some bouquets made from silk flowers in the wedding colors. I bought several types of flowers and some floral tape at JoAnn Fabric.  Next, I cut all of the flower bunches into individual stems.

The cut faux flowers

I used one of each type of flower to make a bouquet, and wrapped them with the floral tape. I had some lace fabric from a previous project and cut it into strips. I wrapped the stem with the  lace, and then tied it into a bow.

The flowers were really very beautiful.

The finished bouquet

On each table we put a cactus in the middle of the runner, and a bouquet on each side of the cactus on the runner. The tables were simple but very cute.

We were also able to give a cactus as game prizes. Love it when decorations can also be used for something else. Win, Win!
