Embellished Dress Form For Bridal Showers

Ok so this is a great idea for the next Bridal Shower that you host! You can order the dress form off the internet or go to your local floral shop. The forms can range anywhere from 39.99 to 59.99. Check out Ebay as well - jbseverydaytreasures4u. You can place the decorated bridal form anywhere in the house or how about outside your front door? What a great decoration for the event. Once you purchase the form you can then use any white or ivory tulle you may have or purchase that at the same time. Buy some silk flowers that are the color of the wedding and also some extra tulle for a pretty large bow for the front or the back. I first started with a band or belt around the waist and cut the tulle in long strips and placed under and over the belt to create the skirt. I then wrapped the tulle around the bust area as to make the top, it just takes a bit of creativity and imagination. No sewing required, how easy is that? You can add a brooch to the bust line and some other jewelry of your choice and voila! You look like you hired a professional.

Vintage Floral Pins as Shower Gifts

My daughter has just recently been married and during the course of the past year, she has had a couple of parties and showers. Whew... What a fun year! Her aunties, family & friends decided to colaborate and give her a bridal shower. It was a huge hit from the lovely home of a dear friend to the food, decorations, you name it... it was fabulous! Each guest received a handmade monogramed lavender sachet and a muslin stamped bag with a vintage pin. Huge Hit!!! I started a few years ago collecting vintage pins on ebay, and each time I went antiquing I would add a couple to my collection. I was so happy to donate them toward a shower for my daughter. The muslin bags were stamped with bronze ink and the cute scrolly frame read Thank You! What a really great idea. Now's a good time to start collecting something fun, you'll never know when you'll need them.
