When we hear the words “Parisian” and “pastels” the first thing that comes to mind is macarons (of course!). Here’s a lovely, elegant DIY idea for your favors if you’re planning a French flair affair. Wrap your favors up pretty with a simple clear box and a bit of ribbon . Your guests will love (and love to eat) this sweet, delicate treat.
We’re seeing dreamy wedding backdrops everywhere these days, so we thought it high time to create one of our own. And with a bit of crate paper, streamers and string, you can too. It’s easier than it looks—we promise!
We measured a six foot string (butchers twine will do just fine). Then we measured 16 foot strips of crate paper and metallic streamers and knotted them at the top of the string, so 8 feet would fall on each side.
Tie each piece close together and be sure to alternate colors/textures as you go along. You can even fold the crate paper to create waves, or trim the sides to get a cool effect. Once you’ve covered the entire string, you’re done. A voila! Use it as a backdrop for a photo booth, the dessert table or gift table.

When dreaming of your perfect wedding, you may think back to weddings of the past, when rice was thrown as the bride and groom exited their wedding ceremony.
It’s a beautiful image, but unfortunately one that is unpractical – and often not allowed – for many modern weddings. To keep this tradition alive brides have become creative, giving their guests everything from bubbles to glitter to toss as they make their way down the aisle as husband and wife. We put together a fun DIY project just for this occasion, and think these confetti cones are the perfect item to fill with rose petals.
Making the cones is an easy project that can be done in a day. We love the added personal touch of custom gift tags , which you can match to your wedding invitations.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Steps:
Quick tip: Wait to fill the cones until you arrive at your ceremony site – the petals may fall out during transport!
We are thrilled to have the talented Natalie Bushman from Nat Your Average Girl with us today. She is sharing her ultra glam and girly Kate Spade inspired bridal shower she hosted. Now this is a bridal shower theme we can get behind!
Eeek! I’m so excited to show you guys the bridal shower a couple of my friends and I threw last week! We went for a Kate Spade theme and stuck with bright colors, bold stripes, and pops of gold. It was definitely glam and girly.
We started off by sending invitations by Wedding Paper Divas. I’m obsessed with water color right now (who isn’t) and these were spot on gorgeous! With matching thank you cards and favors these details helped set the stage for the perfect shower.
It’s no secret that I love party planning. However I tend to do what has worked in the past instead of thinking outside of the box…if it’s not broken don’t fix it! That’s definitely a struggle of mine. You’ll see that I’m a firm believer in tissue paper decor (hello cheap and easy) but my friends pushed me to try some new things like the paper flower wall which was stunning but crazy time consuming. I say this shower is the best of both worlds.
My trusty chalkboard gettin’ the job done.
I used my Mom’s banana bread recipe for the “cake” and added home made cream cheese frosting. My friends helped with the fresh flowers and I added the topper about five minutes before the party!
I snagged this mini chalkboard at Michaels for $4.
Gifts for the bride-to-be!
I can’t wait to celebrate your big day, Diana! You will undoubtedly be a stunning bride. I’m so happy for you and love you so much!
A special thank you to Carrie Johnson for photographing the shower.

Here’s how it’s done…
Supplies
Step 1: Set the Stage
Turn your kraft paper into a tablecloth. If space doesn’t permit, cut runners or rectangular shapes for each spot.
Step 2: Get Creative
Use the paint pen to write out each guests’ name. Add fun flourishes, delicate dots and more! You can even use this space to play up your party’s theme. Just make sure to keep your handcrafted design within the shape and size of the plate that it will sit under.
Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches
Place your plate, silverware and glassware down. Step back and smile knowing that guests are going to love it!
