Hello Everyone,
I have more wedding stuff just for you all! What can I say, I was really busy for my friend's Bachelorette Party. And yes, this were made for the same Bachelorette Party as the Pantie Bouquet. I couldn't stop myself. :)
So as most you you Pinterest Addicts every girl has their dream wedding board (whether we have a ring on our finger or not). As part of my personal 'dream wedding board' i have ton of different ideas for bridal party wine glasses.
the dresses, wedding colors, and initials of the party.

I knew I loved this idea and the look of each lady on the glasses. I also knew that I wanted to do actual cups instead of wine glasses. I ended up using BPA free beer glasses. An advantage about using the plastic BPA free glasses is that they are plastic and won't break. Also you can hand wash the glasses and the paint stays on just fine. (I have not tried to use the dishwasher on these either, just seems safer to wash by hand. Although, if you decide to recreate these cups and run them through a dishwasher, let me know what happens.)
I used puff paint for these. I found a package like this ↓
All the colors I needed were there or easy to mix because I had all primary colors. To make the dresses I squeezed the paint on to a paper plate and mixed as needed. I used a brush to paint the girls from there. Mixing skin tone with just these colors was very difficult and would recommend buying additional tans or browns if you wanted to be more accurate if you try it. For the names and flowers, I just free-handed directly from the bottle. (If you are not a fan of free-handing the names you can always used a stencil and a paint brush or sponge).
I went the cheap route by using puff paint; however, puff paint is thin and would take many coats for it to have the matte finish as show in the Pinterest examples above. It also leaves streaks. I liked this look and made it work for me. Best bet if you don't want to deal with all that tho.... use acrylic paint. To really make it pop use the acrylic paint as a base and then line the edges with the puff paint. This will give it a cool appearance and texture :) and really be closer to the look of the Pinterest examples above.
When all is said and done I think my Bridal Party Glasses turned out well and actually somewhat resemble the bridesmaids :) (Except for the skin tones- that was super off - my bad girls!! :/ )
We also used these to decorate and added the tiara combs on top that were wore by the party when we went out later that evening. The cups were a hit thanks to this Pin, I would recommend to anyone.
With Love, Steady Hands, Puff Paint, and Classy Glasses,
Bee
