“LA Dodger” Themed Bridal Shower
February 20, 2012 by Leave a Comment
We had a fabulous bridal shower this weekend for a special friend. She and her fiancee love the Dodgers – and I love a theme party!!! We served all the traditional baseball foods: peanuts, popcorn, nachos, licorice, hot dogs, and more!
That is the popcorn from Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t resist a splash of red in the decor.
I spray painted some frames Dodger blue and was lucky some of their engagement photos were taken in their Dodger uniforms. How cute are the bride & groom!
I went to Smart & Final and loaded up on paper goods: paper trays for the nachos and the peanuts and cups, lids, and straws just like at the ball park. We even got those papers to wrap up the hotdogs in.
I made little cupcake toppers with their initials “K D” – I tried to make it look like the “LA” in the Dodger logo – but my hubby just said “what does KO mean?”
We needed to turn the bride into a Dodger Homemaking Queen! So I sewed a ruffle apron in Dodger colors, made a blue fabric flower corsage, and decorated a tiara. She looks sooooo cute – don’t you think?
The favors were bubble gum – you have to have that at a baseball party!! It was a beautiful day and the bride received so many lovely gifts!!

Kitchen Art from Junk

I needed something different to hang above my stove. It was cold and rainy and I didn’t want to go to the store – so I went shopping in my garage! This is what I came up with:
I bought this board at a garage sale for 50 cents. It was white and dirty. I cleaned it up and painted it aqua. I had some scrapbook paper, glued it on. The cricut was next. I love this font – it is actually Taylor Swift’s signature font! Cute! I found this metal heart in a box of junk. It was dark metal – from the days of rustic, dark metal things! Painted it apple red and epoxied it on! Yea! Happy! I love paint!

Bathroom Spruce-Up

I found these FREE printables at J and A & Company. She had a gallery wall of all these cute printables in her bathroom. These are my renditions:
I bought these two matching frames at a garage sale on Saturday – $1 for the pair! They were black with black & white drawings of Thailand in them. Out came the pictures and out came the spray paint! Now they are white – I kept the mattes the same and framed the bathroom words. Love them!!
The larger frame I had. The matte was really cream so I spray painted the matte white!! Did you know you can spray paint ANYTHING!!!! I love the little birdies in the art work. Super cute!
