The Money Bouquet Part Deux

The mega wedding weekend is over and I’m not feeling so hot health-wise from it. But I promised you guys pics of the new generation of the money bouquet. It made another appearance as my gift for yesterday’s bridal shower and I’m please to report that it was a hit 🙂

In this edition, I included 2 roses, 1 lotus flower, and some buds… all in all it took 15 bills and about an hour or so to assemble.

And I’ll actually share with you all the links I used to back these 🙂

For the Buds I just followed the steps to make the rose heart.

I would love to see pics if anyone else attempts one of these 🙂 I’m quite happy my go-to bridal shower gift is so well received!

Does anyone else have a traditional go-to gift?

Money Bouquet

I got this amazing idea from Amanda at Swoon Over It.

One of my close friends is having her bridal shower at the end of the month. They specifically requested cash or gift cards b/c they are moving cross country the day after the wedding (from Boston to Seattle) for his work.

As soon as I saw the money bouquet I knew it would be perfect! And I think I did a pretty good job recreating the idea. 🙂
