5. Brunch and Bubbly Banner

A simple banner with gold calligraphy saying “brunch & bubbly” can elevate the aesthetics of your venue. Hang it over the center table, the table where the food is placed, or the mimosa bar. Regardless of where you put it, it is a subtle but cute addition to your decor.

Balloons are a popular choice of decor for any bridal shower. However, they are highly suitable for brunch and bubbly bridal showers because they emulate the appearance of fizz. Opting for a monochrome color scheme gives the balloons a sleek and refined appearance. This makes it perfect not only as a piece of decoration but also as a backdrop for photos.

9. Copper and Gold Bottles as Centerpieces

Instead of traditional vases, you can use clean bottles to hold flowers and other decor pieces. Paint it with copper, gold, or any color that fits your palette. Not only will this be aesthetically pleasing, but it will also tie in with your theme of brunch and bubbly bridal shower. Make sure to get bottles of different sizes and shapes for variety.

Flour hearts are adorable, easy to make, and easy to clean, making them an excellent decor idea for a brunch and bubbly bridal shower.

14. Letter Board with Saying or Hashtag

It is common for couples to have an engagement hashtag they use for posts on social media, invitations, and other wedding-related correspondence.

Likewise, you can add a short but sweet saying on top to further personalize the cake.

25. Wedding-Themed Cookies
