Get the Look: Parisian Love Letter Paper Blooms
Paper flowers are a hot topic in the wedding world right now! We’ve been seeing them all over, and we bet that you’re just as enthralled with them as we are! From their beautiful shapes to the statement they make, we can’t get enough of the handmade touch that paper blooms bring to a wedding. And, while a lot of tutorials showed women cutting out flower shapes and petals for what must have been hours, we wanted to offer a more time friendly version of the craft so even the time strapped (or novice DIY) bride could create the look with confidence! Hence our thechicroomshop.weddingstar.com/product/parisian-love-letter-paper-blooms were born!!! And today, we’re showing you just how to make stunning bouquets and a boutonniere with these handy little blooms for that extra special handmade touch on your wedding day. So get your crafty pants on, it’s time to become a wedding DIY diva!
To make either one of the above bouquets, there are a few items you need to have on hand:

Spring Wedding
I really love Springtime! The birds are chirping again and there is that sweet smell in the air. Spring events can be so wonderful to plan because SPRING calls for a fun color palette. All the beautiful pastel colors that remind me of the pretty Easter dresses and bonnets in all the store windows. These are my picks for a whimsical Spring event! All available on our website.

I am in love with this mini pie box! What can be more charming than this box stuffed with a mini pie. If you are having a rustic wedding, keep the theme going by giving your guest a little sweet something to take home with them. Our adorable miniature pie packaging kit will give you all you need to get started. You can either purchase your mini pies at a local bakery or if your really feeling rustic-bake them yourselves. Our friends from weddingstar have given us a recipe too.

Fun Bridal Shower Ideas
We think this is the most clever idea for the bride-to-be's bridal shower. This Decorative Glass Recipe Box can be purchased with the "recipe of the hearts" recipe cards and divider set. Before the event make your purchase so you have time to send the invites along with a recipe card! Send out the stationary cards with attached save the date component. Guests are invited to detach the recipe portion, write out their favorite recipe and bring the recipe card back with them to the shower party! At the party stage a welcome table and display the glass recipe box and have the guests file their recipe for the bride-to-be! All items can be purchased through the links below.
