A Bridal Shower Tissue Paper Bouquet



This last Saturday, Laurissa's sweet friends threw her the most.adorable.shower filled with everything she loves...family, friends, pictures, candles, mason jars, flowers etc.

It was planned by her best friends, but their momma's each helped with a dish for the shower which was so special.  One of them brought chicken skewers with a butter, sage and thyme sauce, another brought THE.BEST pasta salad!  Veggies, angel food cake with strawberries and a big bowl of fresh whipped cream was also served along with LEMONADE and water to drink!  It was just beautiful!

A short talk was given by one of her Bible study leaders from when she was in high school.  She had called the church to check on Laurissa and David's wedding vows and based it on her vows.  Oh.Yes...I had to stop the tears!  Vows are a sacred thing and the vows they will be taking are for LIFE!

The girls did an amazing job of planning the shower out...it was an afternoon that will be remembered forever.


As our girlie opened our gifts...a few of her other dear friends collected the tissue paper to make flowers for the bridal bouquet she will be carrying down the aisle at the rehearsal.  It was so stunning.  I have seen them made for babies with washcloths and with paper bills for birthdays...but never with tissue paper.  Oue little nieces were so fascinated with it that they started making them, too!  I just love it when little girls learn things from the BIG GIRLS.  I am sure they will carry on the tradition of making them in the many showers they will be attending as they grow up...and I am sure they will enjoy teaching little girls who are just as curious as they were.  A day of many memories for sure!






Happy Wednesday!

  3. Lisa... What fun. Bridal showers are so delightful. I love that idea of the tissue paper bouquet. Sounds like a creative Pinterest idea to me! I'll definitely have to find out how to do that. I hope you were just able to sit back and enjoy your baby girl and soak in all the love and well wishes. I'm sure it was a surreal experience with it being Laurissa's turn, now! Enjoy these precious months together! Praying for the Lord to bless your time and efforts for the wedding. Paula R.
