Tea for Two: The bridal shower

Our surprise tea themed bridal shower/happy hour co-hosted by the{little}details was a huge success, as we managed to keep it a surprise for the bride-to-be.  With tea themed details, as she loves her afternoon tea.  The bridal shower was hosted at Pegasus, in Greek town.  With its rooftop patio, Chicago skyline views, and delicious sangria it was the perfect place to shower our bride-to-be. 

Decor:

The centerpieces were created using tin cans, yes the kind you get soup in, which were wrapped in burlap. We added some bright spring florals and centered them in a gold frame, accented with two doves. An old sugar pot was filled with pale pink spring roses and accented with the couples names in a frame. The garland was created using spring paper, a 2" circle punch, and this tutorial.  The 'He Says, She Says' game was a huge hit as we used the bride and groom's Facebook status.

Favors:

To keep with the 'Tea for 2' theme we created tea and cookie favors.  The bride-to-be loves PotBelly's chocolate chip cookies, so we Incorporated those into the favors.  Loose tea in Chamomile, Oooh long, Piña Colada, and African Roobios were packaged in blue favor bags.  The boxes were then wrapped in twine and gift tags, were stamped with the 'Tea for 2' theme and the couples initials were made to look like a tea bag tag.  The boxes, blue favor bags, tags. and 'K' initial cocktail napkins were all from Micheal's.
