The Bathrooms: Wedding Bathroom Baskets

Yes, my design inspiration flows right into the restrooms at our reception!  Normally these rooms are not a part of the decorating scheme, aside from if the bride makes up a special "care package" to be placed in the bathrooms.  (In case some of you don't know what I'm referring to, these are typically cute little baskets containing necessities such as stain-stick, band-aids, safety pins, make up remover, aspirin, antacids, gum/mints, clear nail polish, floss, a lint brush, deodorant, moist toilette, and the list goes on.)  While we will provide these things for our guests, I also plan to "pretty up" the display with some vintage/rustic/french inspired goodies like some of these:


All of the above found at Farmhouse Wares;  aren't those mirrored trays fantastic?!  Would be beautiful used at home after the wedding on my dresser or in one of our bathrooms.

Carrying over with the mason jar lovin' from yesterday... another rustic/vintage fabulous piece that will be in the bathroom is this fun little beauty:

Midwest Finds on etsy sells these beauties in an array of colors and sizes...

This guy will also be sitting on my sink in the kitchen after our wedding!  So excited!

I also plan on printing a cute little poem and framing it to put on the vanity (at least in the ladies), something like:
Whether your skin feels dry
or your hair out of place.
You're not feeling so fresh
or whatever the case.
We've put together a basket
to help you along,
Now hurry back out
before you miss the next song!

*I did not write that and definitely saw it online somewhere and forgot to cite it - sorry! 

Because why shouldn't you carry the details out into every space at your wedding?!

  1. So funny - bathroom baskets/trays are my favorite! I always make a beeline to the bathroom at weddings to see if the bride & groom did anything special! I know I am weird - but i love that you are putting so much thought into it :)

  3. This is fantastic! So important and often overlooked. I got married at my parents' house and they rented those fancy port-a-potty trailers.... I wish I could've read this post back then!
