Hearts Bridal Shower Decoration

Celebrate your bride's true love with a shower that's entirely lovey-dovey and full of heart. Decorate the shower with these easy ideas for valentines that you can use all year 'round.

Making Heart Tree

Instead of a Christmas tree, decorate miniature trees with heart cut outs tied with pretty ribbons. Or take leafless branches (from real trees or faux branches from a craft supply store) and pretty terra cotta or stoneware pots and fill the pots with Plaster of Paris. Arrange branches in the plaster to dry. Hang homemade heart ornaments of paper or beads from the branches. Add extra sparkle with white Christmas lights.

For a special touch, have each guest write a message to the bride on one of the paper hearts, and hang it back on the tree. She will have a tree full of personal keepsakes from her bridal shower.

Making Garlands of Hearts

Materials Required:

• red thread
• red construction paper
• scissors
• glue

Make garlands of hearts from construction paper and red string! Cut 1.5" hearts out of the construction paper (remember while cutting that two hearts will be glued together to make one). Take one heart and place under the thread, then glue another heart onto the top of it, so the string lies between the two hearts. Glue hearts together every 2" to form a garland of hearts that can be hung over the front of a table, across a mantel, or from the ceiling
