Daisy Bridal Shower

-- Daisy Bridal Shower --

Daisies are the flower most associated with innocence, and it’s no wonder that many women site the perfect daisy as their favorite flower.

A daisy themed shower is perfect for the bride-to-be who appreciates the natural, simple elegance of the daisy.

Invitations

The first step to throwing a themed affair is always in the invitations! For this theme, your invites should feature a daisy motif on the front panel in order to help showcase your theme right off the bat. Consider whether you'd like to use an actual daisy photo, or maybe something that features an artistic rendition of the flower.

Do you prefer the look of the typical white and yellow daisy, or are you more partial to the look of the modern, Gerber daisy? Maybe a mix of both types are more your style?

Like anything else, your budget will be a deciding factor in the type of invitation you will have. Also keep in mind that your invitation will set the stage to show guests how formal or casual the event will be. So, if you’re having a casual picnic shower, it’s certainly not necessary to splurge on letter pressed daisy bridal shower invitations!

Points to keep in mind:
- Decide on the formality of the event and choose your invites to match
- Use the same color scheme that you'll be decorating in
- Choose your type of daisy: Traditional yellow and white daisies or modern Gerber daisies.
- Always look online for deals.
- Don't be afraid to make your invites yourself (see the DIY section below).

Invites to look for:
- Cards with real daisies or daisy petals pressed onto the front panel.
- Cards with either a daisy photo or an artistic rendition of a daisy on the front panel of the invite or the envelope.
- Stamps with daisies on them, if you're sending them in the mail.
- Ecards with daisies in them.
- Cards cut into the shape of a daisy.

Do It Yourself:
- Find daisy photos online (or use a photo of your and your hubby that has daisies in it) and print the invites out from your computer.
- Press daisy petals onto the invites yourself.
- If you're the artistic type (or you have an artistic friend) draw some daisy doodles onto cards.
- If you aren't so artistic but want to save some cash, buy some daisy stamps to give your invites a personalized touch.
- Cut some specialty paper into the shape of a daisy.
- Place a dried daisy on the inside of each card that your guests can have as a keepsake. For an added touch, find a floral perfume and spray the flower with it.- Attach a packet of daisy seeds to the inside of the card.

The Menu

The menu at a daisy bridal shower should be light, spring like, and feminine. Add daisy detailing to any dish by giving it a flower shape or flower shaped garnish - like hard boiled eggs on top of a large bowl of salad to replicate a flower.

For desserts, choose cupcakes with tiny daisies on the tops, a cake covered in beautiful daisy petals, or cookies shaped and iced like daisies.

For beverages, serve sunny lemonade, along with a champagne punch in a daisy themed bowl.

Things To Try:

- Shape individual food items and garnishes to look like daisies.
- Serve your food in flower shaped dishes or dishes with flower detailing (if you don't want to splurge on specialty items, find flower stickers to stick on to your dishes and remove them later). Also use flower shaped or brightly colored cutlery, napkins, glasses, coasters and place card holders.
- Garnish your food with edible flowers.
- Keep the food light; choose salads and spring/picnic style dishes.
- Serve a flower shaped edible arrangement (learn to make your own here).
- Cut fruit and veggie tray items into the shape of flowers (this works especially well for radishes).
- Use flower cookie cutters to shape specialty cookies or mini sandwiches.

Daisy Décor

It’s a bit of a no brainer that the daisy bridal shower should be decorated with lots of daisies! Why not get creative in the presentation? Daisies can be cut short and placed all around the table in tiny bowls of water. Or, mix them with lemons for a bright, festive look! Consider draping the table in a yellow tablecloth, and then sprinkling the white petals in between dishes.

Decorate with (daisy themed) items such as these:
- Throw pillows
- Wall decals
- Door mats
- Place mats
- Candles
- Streamers
- Balloons
- Picture frames
- Daisy bouquet
- Tablecloth
- Flower petals
- Flower pots
- Watering cans
- Gardening tools
- Decorative rocks with colorful images on them
- Garden gnomes

Favors

There are lots of bridal shower favors available that feature daisies. Look for cute little candles, teacups, and sachets that have a focus on the daisy. Consider choosing a candy bar with a personalized daisy wrapper. Why not send each guest home with a small potted daisy? You could also purchase white and yellow jellybeans and place them in small jars with a daisy-embellished label. Cellophane wrapped rice krispie squares or buscuits, with a daisy tag are another imaginative item to send home with guests.
