BOLD & BRIGHT 70′S THEMED BRIDAL SHOWER

It’s time to start planning a groovy, bohemian-inspired bridal shower for the bride-to-be! From bold colored florals to an array of textured décor, a ’70s retro boho theme is sure to give off happy vibes and nostalgic feels. 

The signature part of this theme is that the bride, as well as her guests, can dress the part as well. Whether you want to sport your bell bottoms and flower crown or your hippie midi dress, there’s plenty of fun clothing options for all. This all-encompassing theme that can be used in every aspect of the shower. We’re talking bright florals, vintage-inspired decor, fruit decor, and natural elements. Keep reading to get some major inspiration.

The bold colors really pop against the natural  backdrop. They are complimented  with rich textures in the table top decor. The design inspiration focused on combining a mixture of patterns with strong solid colors. This brought an element of fun to the entire bridal shower that really allowed eveyone to relax and let loose.

The hand-painted Kraft paper runner has a diamond and dots pattern, which is carried throughout the design. It is showcased in the milk glass vase details, the diamond cut glassware, and the layered place setting. You can also see it in the graphic print used in the invitation suite.

The 70′s theme is subtly wove into the design with the bride-to-be’s peacock chair and the bamboo pendant lights. And even in the wood flatware and the stemware. 

A tangerine, turquoise and magenta color palette is incorporated throughout the tablescape. It also popped against the fresh whites, neutral wood and lush forest backdrop.

RED VELVET BROWNIE CUPS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Red Velvet Brownie Cups with Cream Cheese Frosting and a Hershey Kiss inside. These have the perfect amount of chocolate inside and the flavor is delicious!

CUPCAKES

Red Velvet Brownie Mix ( follow instructions on package) 

Bag of Hershey Kisses

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

½ cup butter softened

1 block 8-ounce package cream cheese

4 cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 pint blueberries - optional

To get started you’re going to mix up the red velvet brownies and then scoop them into the mini muffin pans to bake. I love to use a small scoop to make them all the same size.

Then you’re going to place the Hershey Kisses in the center of the cups. My daughters had fun helping me unwrap all the chocolate and pressing them into the middle.

Once they’re baked, you can pipe on the frosting using a 1M tip, or simply place it in a zip top bag and snip off the top to pipe it on top.

How To Make A Big Candy Buffet On a Small Budget

Including a candy buffet or dessert table at birthday parties and weddings has become the standard. It makes for a stunning statement piece in the room and gives your guests somewhere to go while you get the rest of the party started.

Once you start planning it, however, you realize how expensive it can be when you factor in all of the candy you want. It is possible to make your own candy buffet and to stay within budget, it just takes a little extra planning and know-how.

And that’s where we come in. Today, we’re giving you some helpful tips on how to plan stunning candy buffets or dessert table when you’re on a tight budget.

Put Big Candy in Big Jars

The picture above is a perfect execution of a budget-friendly candy buffet. If you’re looking to save money, you probably don’t want to fill up one of your biggest jars with a candy like M&M’s or Sixlets. They’re too small and you’ll need tons of them to make the jars look full.

Michelle from Michelle’s Party Plan It used big gumballs and big gummy candies to take up more space in the big jars. If you’re looking for unwrapped, colored bulk candy wholesale, try Jordan Almonds instead of M&M’s. The bigger candy-coated candy takes up more space in the jar and you get a similar effect as the M&M’s. Plus, Jordan almonds are $32 for 5-lbs, whereas M&M’s are $58 per 5-lbs.

You can also fill large jars with tall candy like Pixie Stix, Twizzlers, or rock candy. Just make sure that there’s something decorative at the bottom so the candy is easy to reach for guests. The picture above is a great example of stacking tall candy so that it’s reachable for your guests. The entertainer here used what looks like white sugar (very clever!) to fill the jar up. Conversely, fill small jars with the smaller or more expensive candy. Your guests won’t take as much candy from the small jars…if they’re respectable, that is.

Use Other Snacks

Expand your candy buffet to include other desserts or snacks and you’ll save more money. You can buy some pretzels from the grocery store and dip them in chocolate, if you’re willing to spend some extra time. You can also make a big batch of something (popcorn, chocolate covered pretzels, donut holes) and split it up into individual servings, like the picture above.

The person who hosted this baby shower did a great job making this buffet look amazing, but probably didn’t spend much. She made a stunning backdrop using paper plates, rationed out popcorn and pudding, and even divided bubble bath into small individual gift jars. A little innovation goes along way for dessert buffets.

Decorate Wisely

Don’t discount the dollar store when it comes to candy jars and decor. When you’re on a budget and planning a candy buffet, the dollar store should be your first destination. Places like the Dollar Tree have tons of neutral and simple decor; and if they don’t have your preferred color, paint it! The party above features plastic dinosaur toys, a dinosaur mask, and wooden block letters all spray painted gold to match the girly, glam version of a dinosaur-themed bridal shower.

If you’re looking to fill up blank space on your table, consider making a DIY centerpiece like a big framed picture of the bridal couple or a floral arrangement. If you’re skipping the centerpiece, focus your attention on making a killer backdrop. It can be as simple as taping some balloons to the wall or tying some fabric scraps together to match your color scheme. If you don’t have a backdrop, your candy buffet will look empty and might “disappear” against the wall. Your best bet if you don’t have it in your budget to make a backdrop? Place your buffet in front of a window or an accent wall.

Take Advantage of Free Resources

The Internet has tons of free resources for parties and weddings, so don’t waste your time or money making your own labels and decorations. There are tons of free printables on party planning sites like Catch My Party, I Heart Naptime, and tons of other blogs.

All you need to do is download the printables, customize the labels to what you have on your dessert table, and your candy buffet is guaranteed to pack a big punch. Additionally, there are tons of budget-friendly DIY projects out there for parties. Everything from glitter garlands to backdrops to customized treat bags.
