I posted earlier this week about the banner and mantel decorations I made for a wedding shower I threw this past weekend. I didn’t want to cause extreme scrolling wrist pain so I broke it up into two posts. Here is the rest of what I did to make the shower as festive as possible!
If you saw my banner post, you’ll recall that I purchased a pack of coordinating scrapbook paper and based all of my colors/feel on its designs. Elle (the bride) loves the shabby chic look so I decorated accordingly. Besides the mantel banner, I created a cute garland which I strung around as I saw fit. It was VERY fun to make and gave me an excuse to dust off the ole sewing machine!
A One Minute Tutorial:
1) Gather scrapbook paper of your own choosing (or cardstock) and punch many, many circles/shapes/etc. using the punches you have on hand or have purchased for just such an occasion. My punches were 2 and 3 inches in diameter. I did mine during the Bachelorette finale (if you look closely you’ll see tear drops on some of the circles as I listened to Jef’s sweet proposal. #teamjef #ariesfamilywascreepy #iftheyeverbreakupiwillcryfor3daysstraight)
Link parties I participate in: Tip Junkie, Tatertots & Jello, I Heart Naptime, Lolly Jane, Be Different Act Normal, Craftomaniac, Today’s Creative Blog, Thrifty Decor Chick
So pretty and I love the paper banners and the salad and cupcakes sound AMAZING 🙂
I love it all! wish I had seen this before I hosted one recently. love the frames you bought from Michael’s for the food items. great idea!
I’m going to be hosting a bridal shower soon so I was so excited to see what you did. Everything looked so cute and the food looked so yummy. I was wondering what you did for party favors.
What a beautiful shower. I love all the little picture frames for labels etc. Pretty colors. So personalized with the photos of the bride and groom

Do you think it was easier to punch all the circles and shapes out for the garland or would you suggest using the silhouette to do it instead? I was just wondering since I saw you used your silhouette to make the vinyl’s for the lemonade and water.
It think my card said don’t be afraid to go to bed angry. Come on – you can’t force closure for an argument simply because it’s bedtime. And people have to work and stuff in the morning. Let it simmer and then talk it out later. 🙂 I love having the food items labeled. Times when people pass something by because they don’t know what it is break my heart.
Ooo…looks wonderful and yummola! Where did you find those adorable tins/containers for the plasticware? Or did I miss it?
These are such cute decorations! I will have to keep it in mind when I put on wedding and baby showers. Thanks for the great ideas!
super soo so cute! love the mini frames you spray painted!

I heart you and everything that you do!
I love how everything came together for this shower! You are amazingly creative! Was wondering how the vinyl did after the cold liquid had been in thee containers for a while. Did it start to peel from the moisture? I think it looks great and would love to use your idea for anevent I have coming up. My email is byumom@sbcglobal.net
I cant get enough of it!! Everything is just soooo cute and appropriate! Started my shopping for the shower in a few weeks. Just want to let you know that i found great deals on beverage dispensers and cupcake holders at http://www.classichostess.com/
This shower was super cute. I love that your table was simple white dishes and you brought the color in with the banner and food labels. And I LOVE that you put photos of them all over.
I love the banner. I made one this year in January for my daughter’s birthday party. She and her cousin (who share the same birthday) had a rainbow party and everyone loved the banner then too. I didn’t think to put it in more than one place though. Brilliant.
