Hollywood Theme Bridal Shower

Check out the pictures from the Hollywood Bridal Shower that I had the pleasure of decorating a couple of weeks ago. The Bride-to-be could have not been more perfect for this theme. 

She is vibrant, sassy and fun!

It all started with this invitation that I created. It set the stage for a Hollywood Bash!

It felt only fitting that we needed popcorn to enjoy the show, so I created a popcorn and cupcake bar. We had three different types of popcorn bought from BJ's. It was a good amount for 40 people and everyone really enjoyed it. The cupcakes were custom Hollywood Cupcakes from CAKEXXI by Raquel.

The Large Hollywood Vinyl Star was bought from Shindigz. It was huge!  I cut it down in size in order to fit my backdrop board. The black and white table cloth was actually fabric that can be found at Ikea by the yard.   

I got the gold letter balloons from Balloon Fast. Believe me when I say, they were fast. The 16" balloons were a great alternative to getting the jumbo 36" balloons and at a fraction of the cost.  

They Wishing Tree I already had in my storage. But you can purchase one at efavormart.

I spray painted an old dress form that I had gold and also spray painted the Ikea picture frames. 

The centerpieces were made up of several different items.

 The foam comedy and tragedy mask were bought from Awesome Events. They came white.  I just spray painted them and added glitter and sealed them with Modge Podge Sealer. You can buy these in different sizes or already finished with glitter if you are not up for a craft. 

The gold film reel was also bought at Awesome Events. You can also purchase this in a variety of colors. 

The Clapboard was purchased at Shindiz. The film strip placed around the box was purchased on Amazon. I just added a couple of selflies of the Bride-to-be. 

The Red Carpet Personalized Standee! This was really fun. This was purchased at Shindigz.

As you can see, the Bride-to-be had a wonderful time and was all smiles. It wouldn't have been a red carpet event without her walking the red carpet. 

Red Carpet was rented from ABC Rental

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!

Sleepaway Camp Bachlorette Party

So all of this month I have been busy being a matron of honor leading up to my bestee's wedding day. It was fabulous and we had a great time! The day before the wedding the bridesmaids surprised Tamika with a Camp Sleep Away Bachlorette Party(Her Favorite Horror Series). If you haven't heard of this horror series, you aren't the only one! I learned something new about my best friend.

They went all out with the fake blood hand prints, candy, popcorn and even a movie screen so we could watch all three movies while playing Death Bingo.

Time to get Married Bridal Shower Recap

Invitation

It all began with this custom invitation created by Kelly of WH Hostess.

Location

A loft Hotel

This was a very trendy location and Tamika just loved of the modern bright colors. Check out this picture of us walking in. It just explains the entire vibe of the hotel.

The Photographer, Kory of BChase Photography did a fabulous job of capturing this day. I can't wait to use her again and again and again!

Table Setting

Included a hour glass(Home Goods) on a white candle stick(Ikea), fresh flowers arranged by me (Wegmans) in a Pink Jeweled Vase (Home Goods). Each table also included a quote about Time and Marriage in a white frame(Ikea). Pink and Green Table Clothes from CV Linens.

Menu

Buffet of Caesar Salad, Pasta Salad, Tilapia, Grilled Chicken, fresh fruit and cheese display.

Candy Buffet

Included several types of candy from Superior Nut Company, Bulk Foods and the Dollar Tree, cookies(Allyson Jane), cake pops(my dear friend Heather) & Cupcakes and Cake(Cakes Plus)

Love the little moss balls found at Home Goods for 1.99. Just added a bow.

Kelly of WH Hostess also created the coordinating candy bag labels and signs for the candy and food buffet.

Allyson Jane Cookies~ Yum Yum Tamika's "Pink Love" Signature drink was to die for. I will show you the ingredients at a later post.

I made the place cards just like Chris had from Celebrations at Home.(Fabulous Idea!) The first card was the name card followed by the menu and a "Did you Know" about the bride. As an ice breaker each person had to read the little known secret about the bride, then introduce themselves and tell how they know the bride. It became very sentimental.

We played only one game. Tamika is not a big game person. Neither am I in that matter. This was a scrambled wedding word game. I didn't realize I made it that hard. Notice the hour glasses on the game paper.

When the guest first arrived, they were invited to make a bracelet or earrings for Tamika. I got the beads at Michael's on sale. I kept it to a min of 4-5 colors. This was a great project and lasted throughout the shower. Once we all made a piece for Tamika, we went back and made another for ourselves. This idea found by one of the bridesmaids at Martha Stewart. It also helps if at least one person knows how to make jewelry.

This is only a very small portion of what the bride took home.
