Bridesmaids Dinner Tablescape

Tomorrow night we are having the Bridesmaids

over for dinner and to have them try their

outfits on.

I had sooooo much fun setting this table.  I started

with the tablecloth, chargers and silver that I 

had used for her engagement table and

added all kinds of aqua pops.

Her fiance is so thrilled she picked aqua as her color.

He says he can live with that better than he can

pink.  Actually I was surprised because  she

has always, always, always loved hot pink.

One of their gifts are these rhinestone earrings to wear

for the wedding party.  Amanda is a bling bling girl.

Aren't these aqua damask organza

gift bags great?

I found them at Michaels.

A little chocolate and some body butter are in the

gift bags, but I

can't tell you everything just in case one of them 

reads my blog!

These tissue pom poms are probably my favorite thing.

I also found those at Michaels.  I could have easily 

made them myself - remember the old plated tissue

paper flowers?  

I added a little bling bling to the tulle

that hangs they hang from.

This little wedding dress actually covers a bottle of 

sparkling cider that Lannette from

Betsy's Heartstrings brought me.

Remember that post? Click here.

(She stopped by and brought us more and

we had some for the family dinner Sunday too.)

It is also from Michaels.  I added the brooch at

the waistline.

We are using a Paris theme for the wedding as you

know.  This bejeweled Eiffel tower is one that

Amanda got when she was in Paris.

She also wants feathers incorporated into

her bouquet so we have a couple of those

on the table.

I made the gift tags from photos we took the other

day.  I saw a Bridesmaid's gift bag on Pinterest

and they suggested 

tying this little saying around a bottle of nail

polish for your bridesmaids.  I thought it was

so clever so I made it into a gift card.

The card reads:

Even though I found my man,

 I still need my GIRLS!

The gift bag that has their shoes and outfits in has a 

their Save The Date card on it.

Another Pinterest idea!

Loni, Casey's mom suggested we go to Salt Lake

to take photos.  This was at the International

Peace Gardens.  How fun that they have an

Eiffel Tower there!

The aqua plates with the French fleur de lys

are perfect on this table.  

Again, I used my spectacular silverplate from Horchow.

Maybe she will inherit these (although silverplate isn't

that pricey.)

These beautiful swirled aqua glasses were from

our last trip to Cabo.  I brought tons of glasses home from

there and by the time everyone picked out what they wanted

(of course this design was the favorite) I needed

more.  I don't know if they will be there

next time I go.

(This is the haul I made.  I only lost 4.  Obviously I 

couldn't take them all in my carry on so I was pleased.)

I popped one of the pom poms into a flower

pot for the centerpiece.

The engagement ring napkin rings are actually

Christmas ornaments that I got a year ago Christmas

and never used.

Now that's an impressive rock!

Here's a shot looking down through our fluffy poms!

The chandelier brings in lots of bling too.

I think the girls will be thrilled.  Amanda

was when she walked in last night!

I filled the side board with some of their photos.

Of course we will be having French food.

I can't wait.
