Do you know a Bride-To-Be who loves to travel? Help her say “Bon Voyage” to the single life and “Bonjour” to marital bliss with a “Traveling from Miss to Mrs.” Bridal Shower! I’m excited to share all the handcrafted details and decor from this whimsical bridal shower, filled with personal touches perfect for any adventure loving Bride!
Decorations: A soft color palette with gold accents throughout is sure to be timeless for any travel themed celebration. Inspired by the colors on a map, I started with a soft tulle background and layered the table with a lace tablecloth and Crocheted Table Runner. DIY Travel Suitcase Centerpiece makes the perfect decor piece for either the dessert table or the guests tables. This little labor of love also makes the perfect keepsake for the Bride to keep all her wedding day mementos. See my step-by-step tutorial HERE
I wanted to add interest to the dessert table with a DIY Map Cupcake Stand made with real maps! This one of a kind stand also doubled as a table centerpiece. See my tutorial HERE.
Femininity meets adventure with this DIY Hot Air Balloon Centerpiece embellished with Travel Stamp Stickers and Flag Ribbon. How amazing would these be hanging from the ceiling?
I love banners and tassels and wanted to add festive flair to the table with my DIY Travel Themed Banner See how you can make your own HERE. You'll never guess what I used for the pennants!
Desserts:
Desserts don't have to be complicated. A white cake adds simplicity to the table and won't outshine all your special DIY projects. Continue the theme with a Passport Stamp Cake Topper! Simply add Passport Stamp Stickers to a string of Jute Cording, add White Lace Ribbon and you're all set! Serve guests a little bubbly in Mini Champagne Appetizer Glasses. Continue the gold accents with little details like Gold Doilies and gold painted travel themed decor pieces.
Whip up some simple treats! See my tutorial for Travel Themed Chocolate Covered Oreos HERE.
The Guest Table:
Display a romantic collection of travel inspired accent pieces such as a gold globe, vintage camera, gold glitter candle and a single coordinating rose. Serve cutlery in DIY Travel Themed Cutlery Pockets. Simply embellish Gold Parchment Bags with Travel Stamp Stickers, a Passport Charm and White Lace Ribbon. The charm also doubles as a party favor, aren't they perfect?
I love the Clear Assorted Bottle Glass Vases and White Candle Holder Set, so many DIY possibilities!
