Where to Buy Bridal Shower Decorations
Finding nice bridal shower decorations can be tricky, but they go a long way in creating a fun atmosphere, whether you’re planning an indoor, outdoor, or virtual event. Knowing where to look can make shopping for decorations a hundred times easier. That’s why we’re sharing our top three places to gather supplies right here.
- WeddingWire Shop: Our WeddingWire Shop has so many awesome (and affordable!) decorations for pretty much any wedding-related event. You’ll find everything from tableware to photo props in lots of different styles.
- Etsy: Etsy is a great place to hunt for slightly more unique items as well as pretty banners and backdrops. If your bridal shower theme is a little more niche, we suggest looking here.
- Local craft stores: When in doubt, pay a visit to your local craft shop to see what they’ve got in stock. You’ll be surprised at what you can do with some kraft paper and jute ribbon, especially if you’re planning a rustic or vintage shower.
