Courtney Werner always ALWAYS makes her décor so pretty for every dinner club hosted at she and Chris’ home. She is the queen of DIY and must have the patience of Job, because I think I’d rather die than make things from scratch for 15 hours prior to a dinner party. Hey- we all have our places to shine bright, right? This is one of hers…
A signature staple for most Werner parties include these tissue paper Wisteria. She makes them in a variety of colors and textures including metallics for extra pizazz and shine.
Follow these “easy” directions below and make your own Wisteria for your next dinner party…you know, if you’re into that. Otherwise, I think Courtney Werner has a few hundred you could buy off of her. 😛
