{This is a hastily-shot replacement for our lovely original shoot. My camera’s SD card completely died while downloading photos to my laptop. Only a few shots were transferred before the card died so we had to reshoot the vignette with lesser items than used in the original. I’m putting this up because the projects are still rather lovely though the presentation doesn’t do them justice. Foo! I hope you like it anyway.}

One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to add beauty and drama to a wedding design is to use rose petals. The incredible team at FiftyFlowers.com provided DIY Bride with a box of 6,000 rose petals for us to play with so that we could showcase creative ways to use them. Instead of doing a large single project we used the petals in several therefore maximizing our materials and creating our first vingette.

Becoming a bride often comes with a plethora of events before and beyond the wedding: showers, luncheons, craft parties. This month’s vingette pulls together some tasty recipes and easy projects to make a simple-but-feminine buffet for your shower – or even upcoming Mother’s Day.

The Projects:

1. Handmade rose petal soap favors
2. Rose-scented bath salt favors
3. Rose petal ice cubes
4. Rose petal table runner
5. Rose petal monogram
6. Rosy punch (no rose petals)
7. Thai chicken salad with roses
8. Shrimp cocktail (no roses)
9. Cardamom cake with candied rose petals
10. Floating rose cake stand
