Would you like to prepare a bubble bath for your partner? Are you looking to share a true moment of relaxation together ? Do you need tips for organizing a romantic evening?
You’re in the right place.
As a florist and decorator, I often find myself creating romantic atmospheres at the request of my clients for special occasions, such as engagements or the announcement of joyful news.
Today, I’m going to show you how to create a romantic bubble bath to charm your special someone, giving them a true moment of relaxation.
You can create a bubble bath using a product specifically designed for that purpose, or by pouring half a cup of shampoo or shower gel under the hot water tap before filling your tub. To set a romantic atmosphere, consider adding candles, rose petals, a playlist, and a bottle of wine or champagne to enjoy together. Don’t hesitate to trust your instincts to create a relaxing ambiance that your partner will love!

For what occasion(s) should you prepare a romantic bubble bath?
Coming home to find a bubble bath ready for you, prepared by your partner, complete with decor and a relaxing atmosphere, is an incredible surprise.
Organizing this for the person you love shows that you care about them, that you prioritize their well-being and happiness above all else, and that you enjoy taking care of them.
This is a gesture that can be prepared for both a woman and a man (especially if the bath is intended for two people), and it will delight them on many occasions:
- Valentine’s Day
- Beginning a new chapter: new job, moving, etc.
- When your partner is tired, stressed, to comfort them after a long day
- To celebrate their birthday or your wedding anniversary, relationship anniversary
- For the pleasure of sharing a moment together every day
What Are the Benefits of a Couple’s Bath?
If you’re preparing a bubble bath, you have two options:
➡ You can choose to prepare it just for your partner so that he or she can enjoy some solo relaxation.
➡ You can plan a bath for two to share a romantic moment together.
If your goal is to strengthen your bond and share a moment of closeness, I recommend the second option. A bath, with its relaxing nature, is ideal for sharing secrets and gives you time to really talk to each other, share stories, laugh, or discuss significant moments in your life.
It’s also a great place to show affection, share hugs, and even indulge in more intimate embraces.
📴 Whatever your intention, I recommend keeping your cell phones on silent in another room during this time so you can truly enjoy the moment!
How to Succeed at Your Bubble Bath Evening?
Would you like to prepare a bubble bath for your partner but are worried about forgetting something? Don’t worry, I’ve put together a list of everything you can plan for a wonderful evening together!
Additionally, since we don’t always have time to prepare everything, I’ve also considered those who might be throwing together a surprise just a few minutes before their partner arrives, which I’ll cover in the last paragraph of this section. Keep reading to discover all these tips!
Surprise Him!
A bubble bath is the perfect surprise for your partner: it offers a moment of relaxation that takes place in the comfort of your home and requires no preparation on their part.
So, if you don’t let your partner know about it, they will have the delight of discovering everything you’ve prepared and will remember it for a long time!
👉 If you have kids at home, choose an evening when they are away or arrange for someone to watch them for the occasion. This is your chance to enjoy a romantic moment just for the two of you! 😊
Plan Everything in Advance…
Do you have some time to prepare for this evening? Here are a few ideas for things you can get to make this moment for two perfect.
Bath Products for a True Relaxation Experience 🛁
Let’s start with the essentials: the bath! To prepare it, you can buy special bubble bath product, which you can pair with your choice of:
- bath salts,
- a bath bomb to add once the bathtub is filled, just before you get in,
- fragrant oils specifically for this purpose.
These products can be found in specialty beauty stores (like Sephora, Yves Rocher, Marionnaud…), as well as often in pharmacies or large retail stores.
Scented candles and/or an essential oil diffuser 🕯️
Nothing sets the mood for relaxation like soft lighting and pleasant scents. To achieve this, you can light scented candles or even use an essential oil diffuser.
There are even special candles that turn into massage oil as the wick burns down. These massage candles are perfect for such an occasion!
Flowers or Petals 🌹
Associated with romance and grand gestures of love, flowers are a fantastic way to change up your everyday decor and create a romantic atmosphere.
So, you can purchase rose petals to sprinkle in your bath water at the last minute. You can either visit your local florist or gather any type of roses and remove the petals yourself.
👉 To make it easier for you, you can prepare your rose petals one to two hours in advance and then store them in a Tupperware container in the refrigerator. This will help preserve them!
Finally, you can also gather anything that could serve as a small vase, buy several beautiful colorful flowers, and place them throughout these vases in your bathroom! You’ll create a romantic and bohemian atmosphere for sure!
⚠ If you choose to combine candles and flowers, be careful not to place them too close together to avoid any risk of fire.
Plants to Create a Natural Jungle 🌿
If you have houseplants at home, consider placing a few in the bathroom as well. This way, you’ll feel like you’re taking a bath in nature: a true moment of relaxation awaits you!
⚠ If you choose to combine candles and plants, be sure to keep them well apart to prevent any fire hazards.
A bottle of wine or champagne 🍷
A romantic bath is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a nice bottle of wine together. Make sure to open it in advance, if needed, and have suitable glasses readys ! You can even find or improvise a small tray to place on the edge of the bathtub for your glasses.
A Romantic Playlist 🎵
You can also create a playlist of their favorite songs or songs that have special meaning for your relationship. This will show how well you know them and give you both a chance to enjoy the melodies you love together.
If you’re using a Bluetooth speaker, you can take it with you throughout the evening, moving from room to room in your home.
Don’t forget to prepare your bedroom too 🛌
When the bath is over, it’s very likely that your partner will want to extend this moment of relaxation by heading to your bedroom to continue sharing tender moments and intimate conversations.
To avoid being caught off guard, I recommend preparing your room so that everything flows smoothly. You can specifically:
- Change the sheets
- Close the blinds
- Dim the lights
- Get some candles and a way to light them when the time comes
- Have some clean robes ready for going from the bathroom to your room
… Or just improvise!
Your partner will be home soon, and you’d like to surprise them? Here are some tips for quickly preparing a bubble bath using what you have on hand!
- Use a body wash or shampoo to create some lather (just a few minutes before your partner arrives)
🛁 Pour a relaxing bubble bath, pour a generous amount (about half a cup) of shampoo or shower gel into your bathtub just below the faucet before you fill it with water, so that the water flows directly over it. The bubbles will form on their own!
- Light some candles 🕯️
- Create a softer ambiance using a small lamp, like a bedside lamp (make sure to plug it in away from water to avoid any risk),
- Choose a ready-made romantic playlist on Deezer or Spotify.
🎶 You can find perfectly tailored playlists by searching for the keywords: “romantic evening.”
- Order food so you don’t have to prepare a meal. Plan to have the food arrive about an hour after you start the bubble bath.
