Bridal Shower Themes - Antique French Library

Posted on November 2nd, 2009 by Margaret. Filed under bridal shower.


My sister Kathy of Elysia Desserts recently threw a gorgeous bridal shower for her dear friend Cynthia. The bridal shower theme was Antique French Library …

For bridal shower favors, Kathy presented the bride’s favorite candy - Swedish Fish. The candy was delicately placed in a mason jar with khaki fabric tied on the top with a piece of twine to give it a country feel. The label read “So Many Fish In the Sea… I finally found the one for me!” as an ode to the Swedish fish encased in the bridal shower favors.

Kathy took an antique and very budget-friendly approach to the bridal shower decor. She used glass milk bottles to serve water. Bell jars and spaghetti sauce jars were an inexpensive and charming way to hold the flowers pale lavender and white flowers she bought at a local farmers market. Small jam jars were reused to hold loose tea leaves, serving as both fashion and function. To incorporate the library theme, she found vintage books and stacked them artistically in the food display. She then took some of the pages of the books and created a paper wall-hanging made of pinwheels and other garlands so that the antique vibe resonated from floor to ceiling.

And to finish off the look, Kathy presented the tea in our mother’s antique porcelain tea set. Tea was served with an array of dainty sandwiches, and of course Kathy’s signature cupcakes - a green tea cupcake with cream frosting, and an earl gray tea cupcake with orange blossom butter cream frosting.
