Don'ts for Wives and Husbands

This is a quaint little book (it is a miniature)  that is full of short pithy quotes on the wife's place in marriage. You will be sure to find some good quotes to add to your talk or build your talk around in this little book!
These little books are inexpensive and it would be a fun gift to give to the bride at the end of your devotional talk.
There is a corresponding book called "Don'ts for Husbands" :

Picnic/Outdoor Themed Bridal Shower

This is a darling theme for a warm spring or summer bridal shower in the park.
Song of Solomon 2:3-13 might work well for a bridal shower of this theme.  It has images of the out of doors and nature which go with an outdoor, park, picinic themed shower.  It speaks of a bride's love for her husband and her excitement at seeing him.  The devotional talk could spring board from this passage to talking about how a bride can keep love alive in her marriage.

Song of Solomon 2

3 Like an apple[c] tree among the trees of the forest
    is my beloved among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
    and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
    and let his banner over me be love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins,
    refresh me with apples,
    for I am faint with love.
6 His left arm is under my head,
    and his right arm embraces me.
7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
    by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
    until it so desires.
8 Listen! My beloved!
    Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
    bounding over the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
    Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
    peering through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
    “Arise, my darling,
    my beautiful one, come with me.
11 See! The winter is past;
    the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
    the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;
    the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
    my beautiful one, come with me.”

Daisy Themed Bridal Shower

Daisy Bridal Shower | The Sweetest Occasion
Here is a bridal shower theme based around daisies.  You can find more photos to help you with this theme as well as printables at The Sweetest Occasion.  This theme works great with a bridal shower talk based around the idea that "He Loves Me".
You can ask the bride ahead of time how her intended shows that he loves her and share these things with your guests as an introduction to a devotional talk that launches into the theme that God love us and we are His bride.
Scripture verses that would go well with this theme are below:

Marriage—Christ and the Church

Ephesians 5
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body,[d] of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[e] 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
