Bridal showers bring wedding flowers… and I say, bring on the themes!

One of the most popular wedding shower themes 2024 has to offer is the Tie The Knot bridal shower theme with – you guessed it – ribbons and bows.

We’ve been talking about the bow trend here lately, from bow wedding shoes to bow reception dresses – even hair bows for the bride and How to Add a Bow to a Wedding Dress. It’s getting bow-dacious and we’re here for it. :)

This bow themed bridal shower takes this ribbon-infused theme to a new level with tie the knot bridal shower invitations, decor, gift ideas, and favors.
