The Wedding Watch Party!!

Wasn't Princess Kate stunning today, I also think Prince William was dashing himself!
It was fun at the party even though I wasn't able to stick around for too long.
I just wanted to share with you the photos of the decorations that were made
for the big day!
When I was making this banner, I thought everything needs just
a touch of burlap...
This was the embellishment on the coffee filter wreath that Jessica made for the front door.
I used Canvas Corp burlap shaped heart as a perfect backdrop to the royal couple.

This was the refreshment table, the color of Alicia's dining room was perfect for the royal wedding also. Jessica found these faux branches at Hobby Lobby that we hung pictures of William and Kate plus some extended family on it. We added a little bit of chandelier crystals to it for a fancy touch.

On some of the tags, with the help of my sister...Janis, we added a coffee filter to create a wedding dress look, just for fun!

I just adore this picture of Princess Diana and her boys, she was such an amazing mother to them. Simple addition to the bottom of the branches was a strip of burlap tied into a knot with a painted {canvas corp} canvas mini heart with W & K initials on it. I also used a Canvas Corp mini clothespin and covered it with bling.

Jessica found these monogram sandwich picks at Hobby Lobby for her cucumber sandwiches, yum!

The ultimate was this fabulous Donut Wedding Cake...

Here are the little favor bags filled with the pearl-like Sixlets.
Here is a glimpse of Jessica {left} and Janis wearing their hats to celebrate the occasion.
I hope that you enjoyed seeing the watch party.
What a beautiful wedding. I wish William & Kate many years
of happiness...

A Sneak Peek to William & Kate's Wedding Party Decorations

This is a little part of a wreath with William & Kate's engagement photo.

It says "Wuv, True Wuv" a tribute to The Princess Bride movie...

I used bling embellishments to try to make a mini British flag on the tag.

This is a tiny part of the big centerpiece that we made...

I can't wait to show you tomorrow!!

I used Canvas Corp's mini bags to have as favors.
Jessica found these wedding sixlets that look like pearls that
will be in the baggies.
{click here for a place to buy these cute mini bags}

I have a sister named, Janis, and she has a very special humor
about her. If you know her personally, you know what I'm sayin'.
See never reads my blog, so I can say that. :)
This is a sneak peek of her special hat that she will be stylin' at
the party at 9am in the morning.
She will be the talk of the town...like she is already.




I will have a post tomorrow in the afternoon of what the

party looks like finished.

British Flag Banner...Getting ready for the big day!

My sister-in-law, Jessica, and a couple of her friends came up with this grand idea to host a William & Kate wedding party and watch the wedding together on Friday.


So, Jess roped me into making a few decorations for the big day.


I made this "abstract" version of a British flag...don't look too close, it looks like my Kindergartner made it. :) Of course I had to add a little burlap to it.

{side note: I actually have a son named William and a daughter named Kate...I wonder how popular those names will be now with this royal wedding!}

I will post more of the decorations when they are finished. It should be a cheery day!
