my dear {old} roommate Adri is getting married in Victoria, BC CANADA over Memorial Day Weekend, but HAPPENED to be in town for the week, so we decided a Southern California Shower was in order. I had the BEST help possible and Shalina, Grace, and Kristine made it an easy day! Shalina came over about 2 hours before the shower was set to start and we did most of the prep-work together. it was WONDERFUL having her "home" and being in the kitchen together...deep conversation...laughter...chocolate...just like old times!
Adri's wedding colors are turquoise and orange, so I started with some tissue poufs {a new fav - so easy to make, and a HUGE impact for a small price! they always get compliments as well!}
i decorated the table with a couple fun napkins from World Market {watch for the napkin turned pillow DIY that is coming...Shalina wants the pillow for her couch and I just happened to get a sewing machine for Christmas!} added a few framed pictures and grabbed some super orange flowers from Traders. the side table had the plates and napkins in the continued orange and turquoise theme and then a custom made "N" print in a frame. Adri got to take that home and it will someday grace the walls of her home.
there were little touches throughout the downstairs that pulled the shower together... a monogramed bucked including some white gerbera...another picture and a little extra from the invitation suite on the coffee table, etc. it really pulled together well!
we kept the food fairly simple. Adri has a lot of food sensitivities, so we ate stuck to mostly fresh fruits and veggies, with a side of fondue, and some simple cold cuts & sandwiches. there were lots of presents and a few {wildly inappropriate} shower games {shalina and i really took it to the next level} and lots of hugs amongst dear friends.
WE LOVE YOU ADRI! Congratulations on becoming Mrs. Erwin Nibut!!! We wish you a lifetime of happines {and LOTS of sex!}!!
