Like all parties drawing their inspiration from nature, a winter bridal shower allows you to infuse the unique beauty of the season into each of its elements. The design of the cake, the favors you give, and even the games you play can be informed by the particular time of year. But despite the most creative potential lies within the winter bridal shower decorations. With a dazzling color palette, a few touches from nature, and plays on light and warmth, you can easily capture the enchantment of winter.

Make the room pop with the season's cool shades. Ice blue, white, and silver echo the stark beauty found just outdoors. You may also introduce a deep hue such as navy into the decor for some added contrast. Spread the table with tablecloths, plates, and napkins in these colors, striking a balance with the bridal shower decorations and centerpieces you choose.

Winter Bridal Shower Decorations

• A cluster of round paper lanterns hanging above the bridal shower festivals makes a bold, perfectly unexpected alternative to standard balloons. Order them in a color different from that of your tablecloths. You would not want to drown out the space and negate the clever charm of the lanterns. However, do try mixing up lanterns of similar colors for an interesting effect; pair silver lanterns with white, or group various blues together. Regardless of the color, the round shape is sure to delight guests by evoking visions of snowballs dancing over their heads!
• Old-fashioned paper link chains from childhood Get a fresh makeover as a winter bridal shower decoration. At your scrapbooking store, select two types of white paper or silver paper, or combine the two colors. Many varieties are available in great textures and raised patterns. You may want to maintain an element of simplicity by choosing one textured paper and using plain cardstock for the other. Cut strips one inch wide by six inches long. Make a strip into a loop, and secure it with glue or a staple. Link a strip of your second type of paper onto it, and continue until you've reached the desired length. Drape your new winter decorations around the ceiling, or create a stunning focal point by hanging numerous strands against a single wall.

Winter Bridal Shower Centerpieces

• Creating beautiful winter centerpieces can be as easy as displaying objects from nature. Gather pine cones in an assortment of sizes, and give them a good coating of spray adhesive. Sprinkle white and silver glitter over them for a sparkling, snow-dusted look. Arrange the pine cones in a basket or shallow glass bowl, adding a few sprigs of evergreen if you wish.
• Cast a warm, welcome glow with this painted candle table centerpiece. Purchase three or four pillar candles in a variety of heights for each table. Give them a quick cleaning with rubbing alcohol in order to remove any oils. With acrylic paint, draw two rows of dots side by side around each candle. White dots look elegant on blue, and vice versa. You may want to play with proportion by painting dots around the base of short candles and near the top of tall ones. Let the paint cure for at least a week before applying a finish, if desired. Place your cluster of candles on a round mirror, which is available at craft stores. When lighted, the candlelight reflects to produce a stunning winter bridal shower centerpiece.

Extra Touches – Bridal Shower Table Decorations

• Votive holders cast a frosty glow when covered with glass etching cream. Purchase individual votive candles and holders for each bridal shower guest. Place small vinyl stickers on the glasses if you'd like a design to appear on them. A winter symbol or a guest's first initial makes a sweet touch. Weaving gloves, cover the entire surface in etching cream, following the package instructions. When they're rinsed and the stickers removed, the votive holders will have a frosted appearance, outlining the design created by the sticker stencil. Not only are these candles beautiful winter decorations, but they are double as charming bridal shower favors, too!
• If each bridal shower table needs an extra splash of sparkle, scatter snowflake-shaped confetti around the centerpiece.
• Fill small glass vessels with blueberries, and tie narrow silver ribbon around them. Place one at each table setting. Cover with sugar for a sweet winter treat!
