Summertime Bridal Shower Centerpiece – 8” Round Mirrors

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

OF615-8icRoundMirrorI love what SimplyWeddingStuff.com has done with their 8” Round Mirrors. By adding a handful of sand to the center of the 8” Round Mirror and then placing a single seashell and votive candle, SimplyWeddingStuff.com was able to transfer a simple mirror into an elegant centerpiece perfect for a beach-themed bridal shower. Here’s a few other ideas to get your mind going on ways in which you can also create fabulous centerpieces using the elegance of a mirror.

 Using SimplyWeddingStuff.com’s 8” Round Mirrors place a small glass bowl on top of the mirror. Then fill the glass bowl with water and add in a single bloom from a flower of your choice that ties in with the rest of the bridal shower theme.

Another option would be to use four or five of SimplyWeddingStuff.com’s 8” Round Mirrors and place them so that the 8” Round Mirrors are touching each other. Then place a small cake or dessert in the center of the mirrors. This looks most stunning when a single cake is set in the middle. Taking the mirror and dessert idea a step further, you could serve each guest’s dessert on an 8” Round Mirror. Make sure to drizzle the dessert with sauce for a restaurant-like affect.

How will you, or how have you, used SimplyWeddingStuff.com’s 8” Round Mirrors to spruce up your festivities? Inquiring minds want to know!

Bridal Shower Trend: Destination Themed Events

Monday, July 26th, 2010

OF20031With the economy in its current state, it may no longer be as practical to ask friends and family to go half-way around the world to attend your special day. Instead couples are opting to create destination-themed events inspired by their honeymoon destination.

That said, why not bring some of the honeymoon location vibe to the bridal shower? Perfect for a tropical get-away, SimplyWeddingStuff.com has entire bridal shower themes ready for you to pick and choose from including Beach Wedding and Modern Beach Blue.

Consider using SimplyWeddingStuff.com’s sophisticated Beach Themed Photo Frame as a bridal shower favor for each of your guests. Step it up a notch and include a photo of you and your guest in the frame or a hand-written note of appreciation.

Looking for another fun and fabulous way to bring the beach to you? Use SimplyWeddingStuff.com’s Seaside Tea Lights in the tables centerpieces at the bridal shower. Each Seaside Tea Light is topped with salt-water favorites including starfish, sand dollars and, of course, seashells.

How will you bring the bride-to-be’s honeymoon destination to the bridal shower?

You’re Invited: To a Sleepover at My House

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Who says you are too old for a slumber party? Many East Coast brides are laughing it up at all night bridal showers. These wedding showers consist of eating pizza, manicures and swapping secrets, much like we did when we were teenagers. A bridal shower like this can be extra special if the guests and the wedding party attended slumber parties together when they were younger. A slumber party wedding shower is easy to plan; order a few large pizzas, ask the guests to bring a sleeping bag and purchase some brightly colored streamers. The rest of the evening will take care of itself. The bride and her friends can reminisce about years gone by and their hopes and dreams for the future. A bride of any age will enjoy a slumber party wedding shower.
