Fairytale Bridal Shower Decorations

Wishing Well

You can easily make one out of a large container such as a sturdy laundry hamper or an oversized cardboard box.

Just be sure to decorate it using tulle, silk flowers and other embellishments in the bride's wedding colors. Top it off with a sign that says: "Wishes Granted Here" or "Happily Ever After."

Don't forget to alert guests on the invitation to bring a wishing well gift, usually a houseware item priced at around $5 - $20 or so.

Centerpiece Ideas

Fresh flowers are a must. Incorporate the bride-to-be's favorite flowers or stick with classic, romantic roses such as from 1800Flowers.com. Add them into simple vases placed on each table.

For each table, frame a color copy of an illustration from favorite fairytale books. Pick up a bunch of books on eBay or scour the bargain bin at the bookstore. Choose inexpensive white frames and jazz them up with stick-on rhinestones.

Fairy Tale Cake Ideas

Sweet, dreamy confections are a must-have at this shower that's all about her dreams coming true.Commission a cake shaped and decorated to resemble a castle, or try it youself using one of Wilton's sweet castle cake sets. 

Surround the castle with additional treats such as frosted cupcakes decorated with a surprise faux diamond ring prop.
