Sushi & Saki Shower!

As many of you know I am the maid of honor and planner for my sister who is getting married on December 29 in Jacksonville Florida. So it was my honor to plan a shower for her this October. Her favorite food (and mine) is sushi so what better way to honor her than to serve up her favorite food. Since the tent was up for my daughters birthday party we used it again the next weekend for Merideth's shower. I lined the inside of tent with multi colored paper parasols and chinese lanterns. The tables were draped in black linens with a lime green runners. The mahogoney chivaris were tied with black chair ties and accented with a sprig of purple orchid. Each centerpiece was a different using glass, candles, and asian accents. I placed an asian screen in the corner of the tent behind the buffett table and draped it with black fabric embrodiered with white and green orchids. I created a huge centerpiece for the bar with willow, palm branches and orchids. I served an array of chinese foods, sushi of course, fried rice, egg rolls, egg drop soup, chinese chicken salad, edamame and to top it off...chocolate chip cheese cake (a request of the groom, pictured above in the white jacket). It was a great night and a most importantly my sister and Joe had a wonderful time!
