Perfect Chemistry Bridal Shower Tablescape

Ah, spring….the abundance of bridal showers for summer weddings is staggering.  As a bit of a geek, I think a science-themed bridal shower is the perfect inspiration for a spring shower.  With lots of natural elements and a simple Bloody Mary bar, it’s a great way to celebrate the bride to be and her special bond with her fiance…becoming each other’s lab partner in life.  OK, I will stop.
Oriental Trading has a fabulous selection of shower and wedding reception supplies and I love looking through their wares and finding other non-traditional supplies to mix and match for a lovely table.
OK, hang on for a little geekery…I was inspired by the skeletal formula, yes, remember those from your science days, used to represent organic compounds with hexagons.  Like any styled table, this tablescape leans on my secret tip of layering, layering, and more layering.  I always start with a base like a table cloth or in this case, our moss runners, and go from there.  Layers add visual interest and keep the eyes moving.
Since I already have several hexagon serving dishes and paper plates and lots of beakers and flasks, Â it was just a matter of a few more things needed to pull it all together. Â I wanted to keep to the whole organic theme with lots of natural elements like centerpieces made with kale and hydrangeas, infused water and tiny fruit tarts as nibblers to the main course.
Remember my Instagram sneak peek with my new hexagon punches? Â Using gold cardstock, they were perfect as table scatter and added a fun, reflective layer.
Check out the Shop The Look below to find a few of the items I used…the only difference is the moss runner I used from Oriental Trading is no longer available, so I included a substitute.
Are you working on a spring-themed event? I would love to hear what you all are up to!

I am currently planning a chemistry bridal shower and I love the use of the beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks for decor. Do you remember what sizes ( 50mL, 100mL, 150 mL, etc.) did you use for your set up? Its a little hard to see what sizes were being used. Also, would be able to update the links used in this post? Thank you so much!
Hi Allena, thank you so much!
The product link widget may have had a glitch; it is working now. Sorry, this post is over 10 years old, and most of the products are discontinued. Only the moss runner and glass beakers are still active items on Amazon and Michaels.
I used various sizes and types of beakers and flasks. I know the biggest beaker was 1000 ML.
