My cousin Judith and I threw a bridal shower for Judith’s sister Florence. We spent the better part of 2 weeks preparing for her shower. Below are pictures of some of the DIY projects we accomplished:

Judith designed and printed the text and images and we used rubber cement to paste it on blue metallic cardstock. The two invitations (with different info) were then held together with a thin cloth paper sleeve.

We made these tissue paper flowers a la Martha Stewart. We folded sheets of tissue paper accordian style, secured the middle with floral wire and then delicately unfolded each layer. We made different sizes and different styles (round edges, sharp edges, full edges).

The winning team in the toilet paper bridal gown game won these floral mugs. We made the tags with gold cardstock and stamps (Judith has an amazing stamp collection).

Judith works at a fragrance company so she custom made these candles and roll on fragrances as favors for the guests. You did not read wrong, she MADE THESE - the fragrance, the labels, the candles EVERYTHING.

Judith also made this candle for the winner of Who Knows the Bride Best.

Cupcakes from Magnolia. We made these personalized flags and the sign.

Custom made water bottle labels.

Pina colada and Sangria YUMMM.

Flowers arranged by Judith. (that’s my sister, she was the only person who showed up NOT wearing something floral.)

Signs for the door knobs around the apartment. Images were printed out and then pasted on the same metallic cardstock. Notice my trusty paper cutter.

Front door.

I made this wrapping paper with thin white cloth paper and pink tissue paper underneath and the flower with the same Martha Stewart tissue paper technique.

The lovely sisters Judith and Florence.

We had an hour long scrapbooking session that everyone LOVED. This is the cover photo.

This is my page and below is my drawing of Flo on the day of and night of her wedding. Hahaha.

The shower was so much fun to plan, organize AND attend. You tell me Judith and I aren’t Chinese Martha Stewarts~!!
