Will you be my Bridesmaid? Proposals are hugely popular right now and are the perfect keepsake for your special friends. This idea is a great way to go DIY crazy and you can personalise it to suit your friends and theme. The best bit is they can be as cheap or expensive as you like depending on your budget. It doesn't have to be something big and extravagant but something that shows how much your girls mean to you.
Take some inspiration from this and see what you can create for your own Bridesmaid Gift Box.
What you will need:
Shredded Tissue Paper Pastel Pink
Hessian Ribbon Natural With Ivory Lace
Prosecco Dreams Memo & Pen
Frame Heart Photo
Friends Plaque Assorted
Bare Basics Wooden Initial
Lace Candle Pot 2 Assorted
Nail File
Compact Mirror
The Box:
Once you have chosen your gift box the first thing you want to do is add in some filler, we have chosen to use shredded tissue paper but you can use anything from wood, tissue paper sheets or metallic shred. Make sure that it looks decorative but also that you leave enough room for your presents!
The Presents:
Now its time to arrange your gifts in the gift box. Be mindful of the placement, you want to be sure when the recipient opens the box they can see all of the lovely and thoughtful presents. It may help to place the larger pieces in first and then work the smaller items round them.
The Question:
The very reason we are creating this gift box is to pop the question to your Bridesmaid. We have designed a print and placed it in a photo frame which is a great little keepsake. After the wedding your Bridesmaid can use the photo frame to showcase a special photo of the big day.
Finishing Touches:
You now want to make the outside of the box look as pretty as the inside. For this we have carefully wrapped a piece of hessian jute roll with lace detailing around the box and tied into a bow. Instead of a tag we have used the bridesmaids initial and stuck this on to the gift box. There you have it, your Bridesmaid Proposal Gift Box is complete!
This is bound to get your Bridesmaids in the wedding mood! Now it's time for them to make use of the goodies and get Hen Planning.
