Will you be my bridesmaids
(Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures before i sent them (oops)...)
1.I used tan/pearl colored cards with matching envelopes from michaels and printed them with my message.
2.Then Used cream cardstock to create a "paper chain" of girls.
3.I cut out individual dresses and hair styles and embellished with pearl adhesives also from michaels.Here is a link to a site where I got the idea:http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/will-you-be-my-bridesmaid-9

White votives in Glass holders
Easy, Peasy. Bought these at michaels. They were on mega-sale So each pack of 12 was only $4
Hangers
This was an awesome project, and not nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. I purchased wooden hangers from Kmart for $5 and used picture-hanging wire from home depot for the names. Then i hot- glued rhinestones and little fabric flowers near the hook. both of those items were purchased at michael's. (if you don't have alot of time there are some awesome vendors on etsy... LIKE eRICA mAY).
Bridal TOTE Bags
I found these canvas floral bags at a random store and decided to use acrylic paint and martha stewart letter stencils from michael's. i used fabric glue and rhinestones (with adhesive backing) for decoration.
Mr. & Mrs. Signs
I used wooden letters from michaels, and glued them to a wood "plaque" and painted it all. I also used beads to add sparkle to each letter and to the base.
Drink Stirrers
I used bamboo skewers and scrapbook paper to make these. I cut scrapbook paper into pieces that matched our theme and colors; for some of them I also stamped them with a small cursive "B." using a small drop of glue i folded the paper around the skewer, and then stapled as close to the skewer as possible. The glue was to ensure the paper stayed at the top of the skewer.
Wedding Day Drink glasses
I bought packs of wine glasses from target. Then used glass paint and made Mimosa glasses for My mom, Grandma, Future M.I.L, and Me...as long as for a couple other special ladies ;-)
Door hangers
Used wooden door hangers from Michaels. One is for the Bride's suite where all the bridesmaids will be getting ready with hair & Makeup. There is also one for the guys room, and another for Patrick & I after the wedding and for our honeymoon.
restroom baskets
I bought all the fixings for any emergency for guys and girls. Advil, hairspray, mints, toothpicks etc...
