Bridal Shower

I am a bridesmaid for one of my best friends this summer. She lives in a different state and was raised in yet another state. Unfortunately due to money shortage I will only be able to attend the wedding and not the bridal shower, which is happening this weekend. So to chip in I sent a care package with some decorations and the favors for her shower guests.

Her wedding colors are Kelly Green and Yellow. Her shower is a bridal tea.

I sent various cream, yellow, and green shades of tissue paper to make wonderful Pom Poms.

The favors were lemon tea cookies and tea.

I think the favors would look lovely presented in a little box with ribbon:

And for some simple but elegant tea decor:

(the jars would be particularly fitting if preserves were also a part of the tea party, to go with the crumpets and biscuits of course!)

(this flower is chamomile, which when dried makes tea)

I love the old tea tins, don't you?!

And some other cute ideas that add a little DIY spunk without being over-the-top:

The bird garland could substitute chamomile for the baby's breath, or as is, and be indoors as shown.

This tulle garland is repetitive of the pom pom shapes and would be great in the garden, or a swag across the buffet table, or making a wreath on the front door.
