Fiesta Bridal Shower


Here is a look at a fiesta theme bridal shower we put together. Maybe it will give you ideas for when you plan a fiesta.It was really fun to put together since you have a lot of options for this theme. We wanted to stick to not too much red, and keep it girly. We dug into some of our old pieces we used for past parties and transformed them to fit the theme. 


We did a How many m&m's are in a jar as one of the prize games. 


Mexican blankets make great table runners.



A little sangria station was very much needed!


 Indoor dessert table due to the hot weather turned out to be cute. The area was unexpected but we made it work.


The outdoor food area was organized by labels I came up with on publisher and printed out. Making things yourself is a lot more inexpensive!


My favorite was the centerpieces as they were El Pato sauce cans with cacti. I was happy to hear that the bride is obsessed with cacti just like me. It made it even more fun to share some of my cacti from my garden to use as decor. 




Each guest was given a maraca wrapped in tissue paper. Such a cute gift for guests.


Here is how we used the handmade tissue paper flowers. We used them as backdrop for photos. It is a bit difficult to figure out where to place Photo areas, or tables when you have no idea what the place looks like until the day of the party, but you gotta work with what you get. In the end it all turned out pretty great!

Fiesta Paper Flowers


Last week Mel hosted a bridal shower for one of her friends. This time the theme was Fiesta, so we gathered our ideas and made it come to life. Here I will show you how to make the paper flowers we used to display at the party.  


The first step is to take four sheets of tissue paper and fold it accordion style.


At about two inches from the edge, staple the fold.


At both ends cut a scalloped design to give the flower petals.


Gently separate each piece of paper from the rest.


Lift up the rest from the other end.


Repeat each step until you have four.


Grab a paper plate and use your glue gun to start gluing each part together. 



You will end up with a nice puffy flower


For easy hanging, I punched two holes on both the bottom and top of the plate. I then threaded a piece of string though and tied the ends.


You can use the same technique and experiment with different colors and sizes. 



This was the final look for the party. These flowers make an awesome background for pictures. Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the Fiesta Bridal Shower.
