2025 trending bridal shower and bachelorette themes

If you're celebrating your bridal shower or bachelorette soon, you have a plethora on trend to choose from!  As lucky as the modern bride is with access to an overabundance of ideas and resources, being constantly inundated with so many different posts on social media can be overwhelming.  So, I have compiled a list of my top 10 favorites:

For the bride who loves to garden:
1. "Off the market"
Picture patterned linens, a bright color palette perfect for spring or summer, and garden style floral arrangements.  This is a great theme to include a bloom bar for your guests, so everyone gets a chance to create their own unique bouquet to take home with them.

Maybe flowers aren't exactly your vibe, but you love vegetable gardens or succulents.  An eclectic mix of different shades of green and mossy textures might be more your style.  Include the bride's favorite veggie-forward or herby dish in the spread to round out the theme.  Let love grow!

2. "Bride to bee"
For the nature lover.  I am picturing shades of soft, buttery yellow and lavender, a variety of hot teas, a yogurt and granola bar, bite sized goodies and honey jar favors for guests.  Decorate with little bee figurines and honeycomb beeswax candles.  Featuring honey in your recipes is a nice touch!

For the sporty bride:
3. "The perfect match"
The most immediate sport that comes to mind is tennis.  Of course, you can extend this theme to other games and sports such as boxing, chess, wrestling, pickleball and more depending on what peaks the bride's interest most.  Keeping with tennis, you can encourage guests to dress in their best tennis or clubhouse garb, have tennis themed games and decor.  If going the pickleball route, personalized paddles for the bride and groom seem appropriate - maybe even a design your paddle activity for the guests could be fun!

A spin on this theme is for our brides who love to camp.  Think campfire, s'mores, and happy camper vibes!

4. "Afternoon tee"
For our golf fanatics!  This theme begs to combine a bride's love of golf with a classic afternoon tea.  Golf themed centerpieces, Arnold Palmer's, classic cucumber sandwiches and tiered trays of delectable pastries paints this picture nicely.  This also works for any couples who have chosen a golf course for their wedding venue.

For the foodie:
5. "Whisked away" / "Batter together"
For our brides who love spending their time in the kitchen whisking up delicious delicacies for their honey.  This is a perfect theme for a shower that a family member or friend is throwing in their own home.  For games I'm loving a blind "guess the cake flavor" or "guess the kitchen gadget" type of activity.   This would be a great theme for a cooking class party as well!

6. "That's amore"
For the pizza and pasta lover.  What could be better than an Italian inspired shower or bachelorette party?  Aperol spritz.  Brick oven pizza.  Italian wine.  Need I say more?

For anyone:
7. "Something blue before I do"
A perfect way to incorporate a traditional wedding element of "something blue."  Blue floral linens or charger plates, blue hydrangea arrangements and balloons to decorate, and an ombre style macaron tower with all the lovely shades of blue.  Encourage guests to dress in blue, too!

8. "50 shades of pink"
Pink. Everything.  Have all your gal pals and guests dress in their favorite shade of this magnificent color.  Picture tables adorned with bud vases of pink florals, pink taper candle sticks, and pink and silver disco balls.  Pink drinks are a must - cosmos, pink lemonade, daquiris.  And absolutely include an amazing candy or dessert display with all things pink!

For the bride that likes to imbibe:
9. "A tini little bridal shower"
For the martini lover.  Espresso, cosmopolitan, dirty gin - what's your favorite?  Hire a mixologist to create a signature drink for this event that is sure to impress.  Desserts displayed in martini glasses.   Martini glass style centerpieces.  Oh, the creative options are endless!

10. "Brews before I dos" / "Love is brewing"
For the brewery lover.  This is also a great theme for co-ed/jack-and-jill style events where both partners and their friends are invited.   A brewery tour, lesson in brewing, beer related trivia games, and beer tasting are great activities to include for your guests.

A spin on this is for the coffee lover!  Let's be honest - coffee is life.  Host this event in your local coffee shop with specialty brews for your event.  Coffee cake is a must.


Okay, so I know there are a TON of great ideas here, but which one would you choose for your shower or bach party?  Let me know in the comments.
