Spring is a beautiful time to host a bridal shower. Flowers are in bloom and brides are getting ready for their big day. We cohosted a bridal shower for our good friend, Michaella. The bride wanted an intimate brunch with her family and close friends. Because the shower took place in April, we thought a Spring theme would be very fitting.
We rented a beautiful space that could accommodate a seated brunch. We incorporated orange tulips and fuchsia thymifolia to add elements of Spring to our room. We kept the menu simple with a cheese spread, baked eggs, assorted tea sandwiches and spinach tarts. Tea sandwiches are easy to prepare in advance and put together before guests arrive. We served carrot cheddar curry; shrimp and cabbage salad; smoked salmon; and cucumber and cream cheese tea sandwiches. One of the crowd favorites was the spinach tarts. We used Williams Sonoma’s Tartlet Baking Set to create these scrumptious savory treats. Just use your favorite pie crust recipe and pair it with spinach dip filing. We toasted to the soon-to-be-Mrs. with Mimosas.
We had a lot of fun with the dessert. We made chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and arranged them to look like a wedding dress! This was incredibly easy to create and Michaella loved the design and we did too!

I love the theme of the bridal shower. Oh, those cupcakes arranged like a wedding dress is so unique. I am sure your friend appreciated everything.
This bridal shower theme is so beautiful, the table set-up is so good and the food look really delicious. I am sure that the bride likes it a lot.
What a beautiful bridal shower set-up. I’d be over the moon if it was mine 🙂

That was such a beautiful shower! I love the spring theme and how you tied it into the season and the upcoming wedding. Wonderful!
Bridal showers are such a fun time! Many great memories can be made, and your suggestions are bound to make the occasion special.
I’m a little bit jealous because I never had a bridal shower. Your event looks like a very elegant and fun party. Congratulations to the bride and groom.
It sounds like Michaella’s bridal shower was an absolute delight! The Spring theme you chose perfectly complemented the season, and the orange tulips and fuchsia thymifolia added such a vibrant touch to the space. The menu you crafted for the brunch sounds both elegant and delicious, with a wonderful assortment of tea sandwiches and those tempting spinach tarts. I can imagine how delightful it must have been to toast to Michaella’s upcoming marriage with Mimosas.
And let’s talk about that dessert! The chocolate cupcakes designed to resemble a wedding dress are such a charming and creative idea. I bet Michaella was thrilled with the sweet surprise.
The Robin Williams quote you included captures the joyful spirit of Spring beautifully and adds a lovely touch to the post. It’s evident how much care and thoughtfulness went into every aspect of the bridal shower, from the decor to the menu to the little details like the wine glasses and champagne flutes.
Overall, it sounds like Michaella’s bridal shower was a memorable celebration filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. Thanks for sharing the experience!
Such as beautiful day for a beautiful bride and happy couple. Has all my favourite treats.
The theme is truly beautiful for a happy couple. That surely makes the great day!
