DIY - Lyndzi's Bridal Tea Party
Lyndzi's Bridal Tea Party is full proof on how you can make something look so beautiful without spending too much money. Stretched the shit out of that penny!
-------
The Bank Table - In the midst of trying to place the newlyweds piggybank game, we realized we had no tablecloth. I had bought this vintage dress for $1 during one of Lyndzi and I's excursions, and brought it in case we needed to cut it up and make stuff, and so with limited time and lots to do, I turned it into a tablecloth WITHOUT even cutting it!... and voila.. we've got a Le Shrine. lol
Below is a shot of the dress before it turned into a tablecloth. :-)

THE PIGGY BANK - So, I couldn't find a piggybank anywhere! Instead I found a plastic paint bucket at Michael's Crafts, and pimped it out. All I did was hot glue this gorgeous fabric around the bucket. Chic!

Photo Props! Lucia installed a photowall with streamers and fun stuff, which was the hit of the day! I made these little signs for the photo ops! Thank God my mom is ascrapbooker and has a collection of fun scissors, so I was able to cut fun shapes. i used cardstock, colored xerox paper and tore pages out of old lookbooks and magazines. NOTE: Save lookbooks, brochures, magazines or anything that has heavy weight paper, or fun patterns and textures, you never know when you'll need them!

Lingerie Riddle Bags - The game is, you bring a pair of undies for the bride, and stuff it in this bag. On the notecard, you write something that will tell her it's you who got the undies, without actually signing your name. For example, with Lyndzi and I, I'd probably write, "Let's go thrifting!" and she'll know it's me. We got a pack of brown paper bags from a local grocery store for $1. With the fun scissors, I cut the ends of the bags, folded them over and punched two holes where I strung the ribbon to hold the tag. Made the tags with banana paper and lavender xerox paper. Simple and cute!
