Easy gift wrapping idea and.........



the most beautiful bridal shower.

Keep going down for an ingenious wrapping idea
(if I do say so myself)


I just need to say this was the most beautiful party I have ever attended.
Every little detail was spectacular, as you can see.



Dean & Deluca catered the shower.









My pictures of the bride were featured.



So this idea came to me and it's a winner. I gave the bride something I will show you guys on Thursday for LYAGY but I had a huge surface space that I wanted to adorn. The bride has my sense of style so I went with this idea.

Tea towel rosettes.
Or kitchen towel rosettes as I have been told. I know in England they are called tea towels. Anyway- whatever you hang in your kitchen to dry dishes or hands with.
;-)

Everyone ooohed and awwwed over it and it was very simple.
Take the tea towel and fold it in half diagonally. Roll it up so you have a long "snake".
Then start wrapping it around tightly on itself into a round shape. Then pin it on the bottom with safety pins when you are done so it holds it shape. I only used 2 pins.

For the leaf I did the same thing but then just folded it in half and then back on itself.

So cute huh? Plus it's a useful wrapping idea too. The bride can use them once unwrapped.

Alright- get ready for Thursday!!

Great idea! I could make it for Mother's Day this year, but I will try it with tissue paper since I have no Tea Towels around.

That's a great idea! So pretty! I saw a similar idea in a shop recently where someone rolled a baby shirt, pants, socks and bib of organic cotton into little flowers and made a bouquet with silk flowers out of them...super cute too when you have a baby shower to attend :)

Lovely pictures! I want a bridal shower like that. Do you think my friends and family would throw me a shower even thought I've been married for almost 8 years?

Superb!! Seriously it is the most beautiful bridal shower I have ever seen. Loved all deserts and decor ideas. The cake is simply astonishing. Want to use some of your ideas in arranging my friend’s bridal shower at one of New York wedding venues. Thanks for this amazing post.
