The bridal shower and the maid of honour are like peas in a pod. The party is yours to plan and host – and what a gift that is.

Paper Flowers: Balancing Costs and Creativity for a Picture-Perfect Shower

Start with a realistic picture of your time and budget together. A beautiful shower takes both, and even the simplest paper flower projects reward the maker who plans ahead. Give yourself enough crafting time, gather your supplies early, and build a budget that honours your creativity without last-minute stress. The result – a celebration that feels entirely personal to your bride.

Set the Stage for a Memorable Bridal Shower

The most memorable showers carry the bride’s personality in every corner. To start pull her favourite colours as your palette. Then, weave in her beloved bloom varieties, and let those choices guide every paper craft you create. Keep your designs warm and welcoming so guests feel the love the moment they walk through the door. Approachable designs work best – beautiful pieces you can actually finish with confidence.

Green hues can work in a variety of settings, alone or in combination with other colours, as found in nature.

    • Table florals – scatter blooms across tablecloths for an effortless romantic look
    • Centrepieces – build full arrangements as the focal point of each table
    • Floral backdrop or arch – create a show-stopping installation for the entrance or gift table
    • Photo booth – frame the fun with a bloom-covered backdrop guests will love
    • Bridal shower chair – crown the bride’s seat with a signature floral design
    • Banners – pair paper flowers with lettered garlands for festive wall decor
    • Signage – dress up welcome signs and menu boards with small blooms
    • Favours – tuck a single paper flower into each guest’s take-home gift
