How The Pepin Mansion Hosts a Mimosa Bar Bridal Shower in New Albany

 

A bridal shower deserves a room that feels special before the first mimosa is even poured. At The Pepin Mansion in New Albany, just minutes from Louisville, we host bridal showers inside a house built in 1851, where painted ceilings, original woodwork, and historic architecture set the tone the moment guests walk in. If you are planning a shower for a bride in your life, here is what a celebration with us actually looks like.

 

The Pepin Mansion in New Albany, Indiana hosts bridal showers for four hours in the Ballroom or Formal Parlor of a restored 1851 historic mansion minutes from Louisville, with gold Chiavari chairs, gold-rimmed china, a flat screen TV for slideshows, and an event planner and coordinator supporting the day. An optional mimosa bar is available as an add-on, catering works through an open vendor or BYO policy, and premium linen rentals are available for hosts who prefer not to source their own.

 

Planning a Mimosa Bar Bridal Shower at The Pepin Mansion

 

A shower like this comes together in a few key pieces: the room, the food and drink, the little details on the table, and the support to keep it all moving. Here is how each one works at The Pepin Mansion. 

 

Choosing Your Room for the Day

 

We offer bridal showers in the Ballroom or the Formal Parlor, and each event includes four hours of dedicated time in the space. Both rooms sit inside the historic mansion, so guests move from a welcome moment into a seated celebration without leaving the building. It is a simple layout, and that simplicity is part of why it works so well for an afternoon shower.

 

 

A Mimosa Bar and Catering Your Way

 

The mimosa bar is available as an optional addition, giving guests a simple celebratory detail to enjoy during the shower. On the food side, you can bring in your favorite caterer or arrange your own catering through our BYO option. That flexibility means the menu can reflect the bride’s preferences instead of being limited to a preset list.

 

 

The Details That Round Out the Celebration

 

Every shower includes tables and gold Chiavari chairs with ivory cushions, along with china service featuring gold-rimmed ivory plates, water and wine glasses, and stainless flatware. We also provide a 60-inch flat-screen TV, which hosts can use for photo slideshows or video tributes during the party. Linens are up to you. Bring your own, or rent premium linens through us if you would rather not worry about it.

 

Support From Our Team on the Day

 

A dedicated event planner and event coordinator work alongside our staff for every shower we host. That means our team helps keep the event moving, supports catering coordination, and keeps the room running while you focus on the bride and her guests. You are not managing vendors alone in the middle of the party.

 

A Setting With Real History Behind It

 

The Pepin Mansion sits on New Albany's historic Mansion Row, and that history shows in the details. The original floors, painted ceilings, and historic architectural details give the mansion a sense of character that feels different from a newer event space. It gives a bridal shower a backdrop that a newer venue simply cannot offer.

 

Conclusion

 

A bridal shower is a smaller moment than the wedding day, but it still deserves a setting that feels considered. Between the mimosa bar option, your choice of caterer, and a room full of original 1851 detail, a shower here can feel like a meaningful celebration instead of just another item on the wedding planning list. If you are the maid of honor, the mother of the bride, or simply the friend who offered to plan it, we would be glad to help you put the day together.
