Bridal Shower Banners

After my co-worker saw my awesome rosette banners from my cousin's bridal shower,

Awesome rosette tutorial can be found here.
 

She enlisted me to make banners for her sister's bridal shower. She let me have free rein, with only two requirements: they had to involve pink and cheetah. How fun!

While I love my rosette banners, they were just a bit too much, not to mention time consuming. I decided to make a variety of banners in different styles in my standard "bridal shower package": 1. the wedding date, 2. "bride-to-be", and 3. the names of the bride and groom.

I love how these came out! 


Handmade with love!


While I didn't want all rosettes, I think the rosette banner was my favorite.


Usually I attach the letters to string on the back. Practical, but BORING!
 This go around, I decided to branch out and use ribbon to jazz it up a little bit. I went with a classy, sheer black ribbon, so the banners weren't overly busy.


I hadn't made a triangle flag banner before, but it looks awesome!

Now, I just need to figure out how to tie perfect bows to attach the letters together...

Time for a name change...

After all the planning for the wedding was over, I really missed it. I loved having my creative side come out, which I don't really get to on a daily basis as an accountant. So, naturally, I decided to start my own event planning business and roped my sister-in-law, Sam, with me, as a project we could do on the side.

Hire us now!


We'll cover all event aspects from decor to planning and staging.

 Stay tuned for a peek at our debut event at the end of September!
