My sister got married a couple of weeks ago and on September 11 I threw her a bachelorette party combined with a lingerie shower. It was so fun. We spent the day in our cabana by the pool at the Sunset Marquis hotel in LA. After that we had a little lingerie shower in the hotel suite before we headed out to dinner. I did quite a few projects for the event! I need to work on my photography skills.
Invitation- It is a lace corset with rhinestone accents. To get to the invite, you unlace the corset and open each side to reveal the invite in the middle. I will add a picture of the middle tonight.
Paper cones- I made these to put homemade caramel popcorn in. I got the idea from another blog. I filled a crystal bowl with crystals to stand the cones in.
I made these mini votives with ribbon and rhinestones as little trinkets for the attendees.
I wrapped these white candles with ribbon to match them to the black and white theme. I large black buttons for interest. There are close ups of the candles below.
I wrapped ribbon and rhinestones to these plain white boxes and put the votives in the boxes.
These are my paper wrapped mints. I got this idea from another blog as well. They look like match books but have mints instead.
Topiary. Love these. They are made from cupcake wrappers. Another idea I borrowed and modified. These are easy but very very time consuming.
I painted clay pots white and added ribbon and buttons. I used fake snow in the pots (I couldn't find anything else white!).

The wreath! Love this one. I used the same technique as for the topiaries. This was even more time consuming but well worth it. I got wooden letters to personalize the wreath with my sisters initials and painted them shiny black.
The table at the shower dawned in crystal and silver serving platters. On the left there are fruit kabobs and fruit dip and hummus with pita chips. On the right are white chocolate pretzel sticks accented with dark chocolate sprinkles. I used a flower vase filled with white crinkle paper and accented with a wide black ribbon to hold the pretzel sticks. In the back are cucumber sandwiches. I had these at my wedding and just love them. I made little signs for some and used cucumber peel to decorate the rest. There is a close up of that below. In the very back is a cheese and cracker platter. A nice little pre-dinner appetizer spread!

We weren't supposed to have a party in our room, so the wreath on the door wasn't a good idea. I found a great place for it on the leaner mirror though!
