Planning a Hunter Valley Bridal Shower

A bridal shower is smaller and softer than the wedding it leads up to, and in the Hunter it often takes its cue from the wedding flowers. Several florists who do the big day also take shower orders, so the bride can see her palette in miniature well before the ceremony.

The Petal Collective makes flower crowns specifically for bridal showers, along with table arrangements, and covers Maitland and the Lower Hunter. Hunter Valley Bouquets designs in feminine, classic and whimsical styles, with smaller orders from $350 collected from the studio and on-site setups from $1,500 when the room needs dressing. MeOhMy Flowers works foam-free with Australian-grown seasonal blooms from a $2,500 minimum, which suits a larger shower or a bride who is already booking Megan for the wedding.

For a shower at a relative's place, Valley Fresh Flowers plans one on one with a wedding specialist and delivers across the Hunter six days a week. To take the shower out instead, Hollybrook Hunter Valley in Sweetmans Creek hosts a private Art N Sip High Tea for groups of 8 or more, with bubbles, tiered sweet and savoury treats and a canvas each to take home.

Pieces to hire or book around the flowers:

  • Arbours, centrepieces and fairy-light backdrops from Creative Events Hire & Weddings
  • A wishing well or lolly buffet for the gift table, from the same hire range
  • Vases, plinths, draping and candles from Hunter Valley Bouquets
  • A styled luxury picnic from Miss Mays Events, at $55 per person
  • A horse-drawn carriage or open-top Jeep between Pokolbin cellar doors with Hunter Valley Classic Carriages, from $110 per person for up to 10

For the celebrations either side of the shower, see engagement party plans or hens party ideas.
