Bridesmaid Boxes!

In my last blog post I introduced y'all to my bridesmaids. Well, now here are the boxes I sent them to ask them! :) 

Everything about the boxes reflected my wedding--the colors, the theme, the sentiment of it all. We are going to have a very "down-home" feeling wedding, travel themed, vintage with the colors pale aqua, blush, and oatmeal with gold touches. I really wanted that to be clear in the boxes I sent them.

These shipping packages are just from the post office! 

Supplies:

Plain wooden boxes with a gold metal clasp from Jo-Ann's Fabric

Pale aqua paint

Pink tulle

Oatmeal colored doily

2 packs of scrapbook papers (travel themed and vintage flowers)

Pearls

Plain David Tutera cards

Burlap 

Washi tape

Hot glue gun

Paint brush

Scissors

Paint pens (black and white)

WHAT I DID:

I folded the tulle and wrapped the doily around it. 

 I painted the inside of the boxes/trim and added the vintage flower scrapbook paper to the inside top with hot glue. I then cut out pieces of paper from the travel scrapbook pack and wrote on that and glued it as well. Then I hot glued the pearls all the way around the inside/top. 

I also hot glued the travel scrapbook paper to the top of the box and then wrote their name with a black paint pen.

I also made little burlap bows that I put a "happy" in for each of them. I gave my bridesmaids a neutral colored lipgloss and just slid it inside the bow. :) 

I also "made" the cards I sent them--I took plain cards and cut washi tape to fit over the front cover, and used a paint pen to draw the first letter of their name. 

And then on the inside I wrote why I wanted them to be a part of my wedding day and how much they all mean to me! 

If you did something special to ask your bridesmaids--what was it?!

Also, if you were to get a "happy" what would you want? I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to send them. Nail polish? Earrings? Lip gloss? Let me know!
