Bridal Shower Decor

Last month we decorated a dear friend's bridal shower. We wanted it to be simple and elegant. We really enjoyed making many of the décor pieces. Here's a look at how it all turned out:



Our centerpieces consisted of golden books with mason jar flower bouquets.





The treat table was made up of many small details that brought the look all together. We wanted it to be fairytale inspired so we added a rose under a dome.

These Oreo pops were very simple to make and went great with the theme. 

Finally the cake I made a great centerpiece for the treat table.
We hope this post inspires you to create your own décor pieces for a bridal shower.

Custom Hand Sanitizer Wedding Favors Diy


 Making these custom hand sanitizer party favors were one of the easiest projects we did for the bridal shower. It's super simple and you'll have these favors made in a short amount of time.
 
You will need the following:
Mini Hand Sanitizers
Template Design: Make your own or purchase one here
Gold Spray Paint
Glue Stick


 
If you want to paint the caps you should remove all caps and spray them all separately. Allow to dry. Then, clear off the sticker from each hand sanitizer, use alcohol if the sticker is too stubborn to come off.


 
Cut out your template and apply glue to each bottle.

 
Apply each cut out to the bottles and you are done!

 
 
 
We added a cute bow made from tulle to match the theme more. They came out really cute.  The custom hand sanitizers make perfect favors for any party. They are useful yet they make a cute memory from the special day.
 We hope you liked this simple Diy and tag us on Instagram #catchherdreaming if you decide to make some, we'd love to see!

Oreo Pops Diy

  

 
Lately there has been a trend of cake pops, which I think are super cute. However they can be a little complicated to make. Oreo Pops are a super-fast and easy alternative to cake pops which also look cute and are perfect for any party.

We made these for one of my best friends bridal shower, and not only did they add a cute, elegant touch to our desert table, but they were also a huge success.

Here is what you will need:

Oreos
Candy melts in your choice of color
Cake pop sticks
Sprinkles of your choice

 
Start by melting the candy melts as directed in the package in the microwave. Make sure you are using a plastic spoon to mix the candy melts and make sure you don’t over heat them.  We used both pink and white candy melts because those were the colors of the bridal shower.
Next open up your Oreo, make sure to do it slowly, you don’t want to break the cookie.
Then add a little bit of the candy melt in the middle of the cream section of your cookie and place the stick on top of it. Then carefully place the other half of the cookie back into place
And you are done! It's super easy and fast to make.

Golden Books Bridal Shower Diy

 
This is the first part of our Bridal Shower planning series. This past month we celebrated our dear friends bridal shower and planned, decorated, and even made the cake for the shower. I loved how everything turned out and it felt good to say we made everything ourselves. It was simple yet elegant with gold and pink as the main colors. Here's one of my favorite projects we did for the party, and I love how I can still use them as everyday home décor and for other parties in the future.
 
For this Golden Book DIY you will need the following:
Gold spray paint- $2.99 Walmart
Old Hardcover Books- .50-$3.00 Yard sales/ thrift stores
 
 
We wanted to have these books be our centerpieces so we went with a big book on the bottom and placed smaller ones on top. You want to make sure the pages are all intact and the edges are in good condition, otherwise you'll end up with a highly noticeable damaged, golden book.

 
Spray away. It's that simple. Just make sure you allow it to fully dry or else your fingerprints will show up on the surface. It amazes me how an old book can change into something elegant looking in an instant. Gold spray paint does make everything better!
 
 
I used all these items as décor pieces that I will be showing on later posts
Cardboard Letters-$2.50 on sale Hobby Lobby
Little Love sign- $2.99 Hobby Lobby
Mason Jars- .99
 
.
 
You can add Glitter if you would like for a special touch.
