17 Bridal Shower Themes, Hot Enough for Spring and Summer

Here are 17 ideas hot enough for your favorite warm-weathered seasons. From fiestas to luaus, these spring and summer bridal shower themes are anything but boring!

To be honest, in the dog days of summer, bridal showers can mean one less beach or pool day before the season is over. So why not embrace both? Hosting a poolside party has tons of benefits, not least of which is a relaxed atmosphere in the sun. Pop some fun floats in the pool—we’re partial to the flamingo—and gift monogrammed beach towels for each of your guests. Serve up poolside classics, like daiquiris, cold beers, and Arnold Palmers, alongside light bites including guacamole and ceviche. It’ll be like a scene out of a Slim Aarons photograph. Just remember to word the invitation properly, so guests know to bring their swimsuits, and provide an SPF bar to avoid nasty tan lines before the big day.

City dwellers know that spring and summer entertainment involves rooftops, so what better place to throw a bridal shower? Stock the ice buckets with Domaines Ott rosé wine (a French seaside classic) and Louis Roederer Rosé Champagne—it’s time for Rosé on the Roof. Deck out the terrace or patio with floral arrangements and comfortable seating, then serve up wine-friendly fare like crab-topped salad, shrimp skewers, and veggie wraps.
