"Stock the Bar" Couples Shower
We held the shower at Zen, a rooftop lounge with the most amazing views of Tumon Bay. With the sunset as our backdrop, I chose a black and white color scheme to contrast.
Tissue pom-poms were made and hung by ribbon. The tables were draped in black; I took a floral table cloth, cut it in half and added it as a runner on the gift table and a backdrop to the favor table.
At Hobby Lobby, I found a framed "W" for the couple and propped it on the gift table. The Card Bucket is a black plastic planter. I hot-glued a thick ribbon on the bottom to cover the drain holes and tied a tulle bow at the top. I printed the sign, mounted it on card stock and glued it to a painted white clothes pin. For a pop of color, I added a small vase full of red flowers.
Homemade "Hangover Kits" were a hit as the shower's favor. I added a sign next to the boxes:
"Thanks for coming to celebrate with us tonight, we hopes this helps take off the bite"
"Thanks for coming to celebrate with us tonight, we hopes this helps take off the bite"
As I mentioned earlier, the view from the lounge was so amazing that a small amount of decorative touches was all I needed. I made these wine bottles to scatter around the tables. I soaked the wine labels off, printed "love sayings" and such on mailing labels and adhered them to the bottles. I accented the tables again with a pop of color, this time using yellow daisies. The mason jar was a last minute addition - just filled it with old corks and tied a tulle bow.
The food was kept simple, a couple hot appetizers, hummus, vegetables and pitas plus white and red velvet cupcakes for dessert.
