DIY Wedding: Bridal Shower Skirt

Homemade floral skirt!
 
When I first got engaged, I had ambitious thoughts of DIYing everything for the wedding, including the wedding dress. I thought it would be the ultimate project to make and then display something I made on what would be the largest scale event of my life. There were a few issues with this ambition of mine, for starters I had never made a dress before, and after doing some preliminary research, I decided against attempting to make a dress and instead settled on something a little less daunting, a skirt for my bridal shower.
 
To make this skirt, you can follow this tutorial for construction and this tutorial for installation of the zipper (invisible on the side).
