Tomorrow night we are having the Bridesmaids
over for dinner and to have them try their
outfits on.
I had sooooo much fun setting this table. I started
with the tablecloth, chargers and silver that I
had used for her engagement table and
added all kinds of aqua pops.
Her fiance is so thrilled she picked aqua as her color.
He says he can live with that better than he can
pink. Actually I was surprised because she
has always, always, always loved hot pink.
One of their gifts are these rhinestone earrings to wear
for the wedding party. Amanda is a bling bling girl.
Aren't these aqua damask organza
gift bags great?
I found them at Michaels.
A little chocolate and some body butter are in the
gift bags, but I
can't tell you everything just in case one of them
reads my blog!
These tissue pom poms are probably my favorite thing.
I also found those at Michaels. I could have easily
made them myself - remember the old plated tissue
paper flowers?
I added a little bling bling to the tulle
that hangs they hang from.
This little wedding dress actually covers a bottle of
sparkling cider that Lannette from
Betsy's Heartstrings brought me.
Remember that post? Click here.
(She stopped by and brought us more and
we had some for the family dinner Sunday too.)
It is also from Michaels. I added the brooch at
the waistline.
We are using a Paris theme for the wedding as you
know. This bejeweled Eiffel tower is one that
Amanda got when she was in Paris.
She also wants feathers incorporated into
her bouquet so we have a couple of those
on the table.
I made the gift tags from photos we took the other
day. I saw a Bridesmaid's gift bag on Pinterest
and they suggested
tying this little saying around a bottle of nail
polish for your bridesmaids. I thought it was
so clever so I made it into a gift card.
The card reads:
Even though I found my man,
I still need my GIRLS!
The gift bag that has their shoes and outfits in has a
their Save The Date card on it.
Another Pinterest idea!
Loni, Casey's mom suggested we go to Salt Lake
to take photos. This was at the International
Peace Gardens. How fun that they have an
Eiffel Tower there!
The aqua plates with the French fleur de lys
are perfect on this table.
Again, I used my spectacular silverplate from Horchow.
Maybe she will inherit these (although silverplate isn't
that pricey.)
These beautiful swirled aqua glasses were from
our last trip to Cabo. I brought tons of glasses home from
there and by the time everyone picked out what they wanted
(of course this design was the favorite) I needed
more. I don't know if they will be there
next time I go.
(This is the haul I made. I only lost 4. Obviously I
couldn't take them all in my carry on so I was pleased.)
I popped one of the pom poms into a flower
pot for the centerpiece.
The engagement ring napkin rings are actually
Christmas ornaments that I got a year ago Christmas
and never used.
Now that's an impressive rock!
Here's a shot looking down through our fluffy poms!
The chandelier brings in lots of bling too.
I think the girls will be thrilled. Amanda
was when she walked in last night!
I filled the side board with some of their photos.
Of course we will be having French food.
I can't wait.
Thanks for dropping by Purple Chocolat Home.
