Hollywood Diva Bridal Shower Sneak Peek

I recently decorated a Hollywood Diva Bridal Shower. I don't have the professional pictures as of yet, but I wanted to show you all some of the decorations. More details of the event and where I purchased everything will be in a future post. You know I love to show you how you can make this all happen on your own!

Monogram & Mimosas Bridal Shower

This weekend, I had the pleasure of creating and decorating a Monogram and Mimosas Brunch Bridal Shower. We used the most vibrant and fun colors. When you have Mimosas involved, it can lead to nothing but fun all the way around. 

The colors were Pink, Purple, Orange and Yellow. I love the look of Ombre, so I used it wherever I could throughout the shower. 

This was the champagne bottle that I decorated in Pink and Gold Ombre. Then of course I added the love sign in an Ombre Purple. You can find this wooden love sign in Michael's. 

Check out the tutorial that that I used here.

Here is the Mimosa Bar. I used Polka dots and Lines for the signage. This brought a vibrant fun vibe to the table. 

This cute little frame came from Michaels for just 2 dollars.  

Also love the silhouette of the woman holding the champagne glass. Perfect depiction of the bride to be. 

 We added a dessert buffet at the last min, but it was perfect for the Ombre letters that I made. The large C came from Michael's and the two smaller letters are from Hobby Lobby. I just used glitter to Ombre the letters and hot glued them together. This was a time consuming task, so I suggest that if you don't have the time, you can always order from Ten23 Designs. They have such beautiful items!

You can't go wrong with a 36 inch Pink Balloon. I ordered this one from Fancy That Loved. Ashley got the item to me very quick. I made the tassel garland to add to the balloon. Look out for the tutorial in a later post.

One of the lovely bridesmaids made the cupcakes and unfortunatly they melted during transport. But the cute little cake toppers I made help them look like this was all part of the plan…lol. This is a proven fact that nothing is every perfect at your party. 

We wrote advice to the bride to be.

The centerpieces were created by using a white box from Michaels, faux floral flowers so the bride can enjoy for a long time and I topped it off with glittered wooden letters. Plain letters found at Michaels. I added a wooden dowel to hold the letter up. 

You can't have a brunch without brunch food. The guest enjoyed, Quiche, french toast sticks, Parfaits, mini pancakes and bacon and sausage on skewers. 

What would a Party be if you didn't top it off with a mini photo shoot with the bride and groom! They were such a fun couple. Congrats to you both!

Bees & Bears Baby Shower

I wanted to share what I have been doing this last week. The Bees & Bears Baby Shower is coming up soon and I was initially only doing a dessert table, but now I'm styling the entire event. The client however is on a tight budget, but I believe that I came up with some budget friendly centerpieces. Check them out below.

Centerpiece 1

Can you believe that they have these cute little brown bears at the dollar store..perfect. The boxes I got from Michael's for a previous party. Small box is 1.29 and large is 1.59. Ribbon from Micheal's at 50% off this week plus an extra 15% with a coupon. The flowers are from Micheal's at 60% off this week. The bees are from Hobby Lobby 1.99 for 5 bees.

Centerpiece 2

The polka dot container I have had for about a year and never got to use it. Perfect chance! 5.99 from Home Goods. Just added some flowers, bees and a yellow ribbon.

So what do you think?

Superhero Centerpiece Tutorial

As promised, I wanted to show you how to make this super easy centerpiece. I think it can be used with any theme. Styrofoam is our friend.

First I started with the following supplies purchased at any craft store:

Styrofoam block

Mod Podge

Styrofoam glue

Black wood paint

2 sponge paint brushes

Black Glitter

1 package of wooden dowels

I used the foam brush to spread on the Styrofoam glue and then dipped each side into a pile of black glitter.

Then I searched the Internet for comic book covers. Copied and Paste them into Microsoft Word and sized them to 1-15/16 in x 7-7/8 in (the same size as the foam block). Printed on thick white paper (sold by the package at Micheal's). Below are some of the great comic book covers I found.

The pictures were then glued (with Styrofoam glue) to both sides of the foam block. Whats great about this is that you won't have a one sided centerpiece. I stuck the finished Styrofoam block on to a black painted dowel and in the base it went.

Below is the finished project. As I stated in the earlier post, I got the base from awesome events and was reused from my sons 2nd birthday party. The base is also made from Styrofoam, black glitter and colored foil. You can also find these supplies at your local craft store and make your own.

I fell in love with the Wonder Woman Party from Setting the Mood. Jamee Bryant is such an inspiration . I especially fell in love with the comic book name centerpiece that was created. I knew Bailey had to have this. So I re-created by own. Check out the beginning of my project below.

Centerpieces

Well I'm back from surgery and I have 6 weeks home for recovery. So what better way to do so, but to search the web for fantastic party inspiration.

This is from pottery barn. This is actually bigger than it looks and would be perfect for a nautical theme shower or party. I think I will get it with the hopes of planning something nautical for the summer.

This if also from pottery barn. I thought this was great to, but a tad bit pricey.

This I found while searching flickr. From t23e. She stated that every table had a different dress. How cute. I'm sure this could be done for a boys shower as well. What's so great about it, the mom gets to take home the centerpiece.
