Your Ticket To Love - Bridal Shower

by contributor Kristi Delfino

With all the warmer weather we have been having this last week I am ready for Spring!  I bet you are too.  Well with Spring on my mind, I decide to put together a Pink and Green Spring photo shoot for you...all inspired by some tickets that I found at Michaels.  There are lots of ideas here that can easily be done for a bridal shower or wedding, or a baby shower, birthday, etc...  So let's get started shall we?

Just a small, simple escort area to start with.  I adore using vintage frames for a variety of projects.  For this escort area I trimmed a piece of foam core board to fit the frame, and covered it with some material.  A large white tag (that goes through the printer nicely) has a guest name and a ticket with the table they are to sit at.  I kept thinking of how I would love a ticket to 'BLISS', wouldn't you?  Anyway, next we have a small bar area...

I love using apothecary jars for ice!  And with just a couple of other elements - the tickets on the stir sticks, the fabric covered coasters, fabric tags on the bottles, and the yarn braids (this is the tutorial I used) - you can tie everything together for a cohesive look.  Continuing on with my pink and green Spring theme, I brought the same elements (and some new ones too) to the table...

Tickets stuck on painted wood blocks makes for a easy table marker.  And lastly, the small dessert area...

I found the crowns at Michaels for $3.99 each.  When I saw them, I thought they were the perfect size to hold a cupcake, and would be a great favor for guests to take home - a crown and a cupcake that is!  The burlap bags are from Beverly's, and there are so many ways in which to use them.  I decided to stitch on a heart to fit in with the whole theme.  The bags come with a plastic liner - so you can use them for plants, office supplies, etc...  You can see my tutorial on how to make them.  Hope you enjoyed this photo shoot today, and that I provided you with some inspiration!
