Red, Green and White Bridal Shower

A few girls and I threw a little bridal shower for my BFF a few weeks ago. She's getting married in less than 2 months!

Some details from the event:
Venue: Zinc Cafe in Downtown, LA
Flowers: Flower District
Cake: Merely Sweets

Picture frames: IKEA
Monogrammed Mugs: Anthropologie
Mini Canvas and easels: Amazon and Hobby Lobby

I've recently discovered eucalyptus trees and I absolutely love them. There are so many different types of eucalyptus trees, but I especially like the "silver dollar". The leaves are great as fillers and for decorating. They don't cost much at all either. I bought some specifically to use as a banner for our cake display. These banners are super easy to make and it adds a nice touch of color to the wall. I chose most of the color palate based on the colors of the venue. I loved that the venue had wood tables because the dark red roses and green leaves went perfectly with them (Esther happened to match the color scheme). Zinc Cafe is a great place to hold events for 20-25 people (its vegan). You get a private room and the food is yummy too. In terms of games/activities, we didn't really have too many. I wanted to keep it simple so we just had one activity. Both the bride-to-be and her fiance are artists so I incorporated that into the shower. We had guests draw on canvas' and had Esther choose her favorite. The canvas drawings turned out great!
