Help w/Bridal Shower

So I am throwing my BFF a bridal shower in May, yes im doing this from far away with my moms help. I have the invites and all the food is picked out and etc. I need help finding some decor that maybe i can order online. Like bridal shower banner, napkins, plates and just some decor. The only downside is her wedding color is cobalt blue. You should see the dress on me i look so white its ridiculous.

 Anyways she knows i may not be able to find that exact blue but wants a blue shower, no pink at all. So if any of you have any suggestions or websites you can recommend that would be great. I googled some but no luck yet. Any help would be great thanks ladies.

  • There is a good blog called Hostess with the Mostess.  Sorry I don't have a link but I am sure you can google it and get it.
  • Thanks jen :)
  • This one, Jen?

    Are you doing flowers at all?  I thought carnations can be dyed almost any color, so maybe they could work with you?

    Could you do white basically with splashes of the bright cobalt color (whatever you can find?)

    Thanks jen :)

    They have really cute bridal shower ideas among other things like baby showers, b-day parties, etc.  GL!

    Oh and check out Martha Stewart's website for ideas.

  • Thanks for the link paula. Yep i will be doing some flowers so thats a great idea thank you :) I love the pictures on the hostess with the mostess site. I found this really gorgeous bridal shower banner on etsy.com and i totally think i can make it myself :)
  • Someone I work with got married in January and her color was cobalt blue.  For her shower, the decorations were really pretty.  Since blue is such a hard color to match shades, they did white flowers.  And in the bottom of the vases, had blue marbles.  And for other decorations they found as much as they could in cobalt but then did different shades of blue as well.  It looked beautiful.  Her sister works with us and she was her MOH and she was going crazy trying to find things.  I'll ask her where she went.  But it really did look beautiful.
