Damask Shower

One of my favorite things is party planning. I love to coordinate events. I want to share some how to's and ideas from my bridal shower.

My theme was classy but simple, I went with Damask and Green for decorations.

Above are Orchids, Carnations, Hydrangea, Hypercum Berries, Fern, Black Feathers and some other greenery. This made for a beautiful tall arrangement on the head table with the punch and cupcakes. The venue provided all white table linens - I bought from Amazon damask table runners to place down the middle.

One of my favorite items is above - the crystal punch container is from Macy's. The punch we chose was Pom Punch - Sprite, Pomegranate Juice, Moscato and Vodka

And for my specialty, cupcakes. We did chocolate, lemon and white with classic white frosting topped with pearlized sugars! The L-O-V-E dishes came from a local Party Store, Create-A-Party in Davenport, IA.

Cream Cheese Mints - enough said - DELICOUS. These were made a few months ahead of time and just thrown in the freezer until the party day!

The cupcake bouquets were my mother's idea. Which turned out amazing.

Directions for Cupcake Bouquet -

Cut stems of flowers and stick into the ball randomly - leave about a 3 inch circle for the cupcakes to fit in. Place the dowel into the ball then place the cupcake on top of the dowels.

Tables all set up with runners, fresh flower arrangements and placecards.
