Don't forget to decorate your garden trellis if you have one. Vines such as Vinca, Honeysuckle, and Pandorea should all be blooming in the Houston, Texas spring now.

Favors. Purchase tiny terra cotta pots and fill them with native plants, with Texas Bluebonnets or Texas Bluebells making lovely bridal shower choices.

Color coordinate the candies and tissue paper or napkins with the bride's colors, or just keep the with the soft color scheme chosen for the flowers.
