First Comes Love....

First comes love.... Then comes a bridal shower!

  My friend Kala is getting married in June, and just had her bridal shower. I always have this fear of getting someone a gift, and someone else at the party had gotten the exact gift. Which is why I try to be creative and make something, that way I can add my own personal touch to it. I searched and searched Pinterest for something that would fit her breezy personality, the finally I decided on a wine basket of 1st's .  I took the idea and went with it, I found 6 wine bottles with labels that would fit her personality. Then I found the cutest burlap basket at TJ Maxx, except it was a just a little plain.

I found a "W" cut-out, pinned it on the burlap basket, then painted inside the cut-out. Then I picked up 5 wines and 1 one sparkling grape juice. Her wedding colors are teal, and luckily at Hobby Lobby (I love that store) I found some teal tissue paper.

 

sorry about the terrible image lighting

Now it was time to put together the basket. On a piece of construction paper I wrote out a poem that correlated with the tag and the wine.
Here is the link where I found some of the poems http://theglorifiedtomato.com/2012/05/15/for-the-newlyweds-who-love-wine-bridal-shower-wine-basket/  ; the others I just made up!

I wrote a poem that had some of my personality, some of her personality and it described the card (1st Fight). I then punched a hole in the left corner, cut a piece of twine and tied it through the tag to attach to the top of the wine bottles.

1. Sparkling Grape Juice - 1st Baby
2. Relax - 1st Night after Wedding Shenanigans  ( Weddings can be the happiest time of your life but the most stressful time of planning)
3. Sutter Home - 1st House
4. Mad Housewife - 1st Girls Night ....as a married woman
5. Lucky Tail - 1st Fight
6. **Can't Remember the name of the wine ** - 1st Anniversary

Other labels you could use:
     1st Dinner Party
     1st Christmas
     1st Holiday
     1st Thanksgiving
     1st Holiday as the family Host

When you don't know what to get someone, MAKE IT PERSONAL!
