Polina's love of caviar, champagne, and elegance inspired the bridal shower planners: Ann; Inna; Jennifer; and George, the bride's "best boy," to plan a shower with an "indulge the bride" theme. Guests entered under the domed outdoor alcove leading into one of San Francisco's romantic and gorgeous private restaurant rooms -- the refined and elegant La Table du Chef. They were greeted by luscious flutes of Perrier Jouet 1995 Fleur de Champagne, the ultimate bridal shower champagne. Caviar was waiting for guests to spoon onto toast points. These glistening and sensual caviar beads and the romantic champagne started off the shower on an elegant note.
Soon after, guests were invited to take their seats. Resting at the table settings were printed bridal shower menus; a scroll with a poem called "Ode to Polina," written by her maid of honor; and a favor, lavender scented crystal salts in a whimsical miniature satchel. Centerpieces of tulips, roses, and orchids were set in the middle of all three round tables. Halfway through the three course luncheon (pea soup,
sea bass with mushroom ragout, and coulis for dessert), there was a surprise
visitor.
The second dessert was a sumptuous French wedding cake called "St. Honore." Many cream-filled puff pastries were piled high to form a cake--pure decadence. Then it was time to open the presents. Everyone oohed and aahed over the gifts: an array of sexy lingerie, bath salts, books, and a special gift from the bride"s future sister-in-law: a microwavable stuffed teddy that is an alternative to a hot water bottle.
The shower went off without a hitch and everyone proclaimed it the best bridal shower they' ever had attended. It was full of love, warmth, and happiness, all enhanced by impeccable champagne and caviar. Polina was deeply touched to be able to share such a joyous event with those she cared about. If you want to indulge at your wedding shower, there are many caviar varieties available at a broad range of prices.

An
Italian gentleman waltzed into the room towards Polina, holding a CD player.
Pretending to
be the jilted lover Polina had left behind in Tuscany, he began to sing some
of
her favorite arias from Italian operas. This surprise came from "best
boy," George. Soon after, a large arrangement of gorgeous flowers arrived
from David, her fiancé. The enclosed card read "Have a wonderful
shower!". Polina proclaimed that she was "marrying the absolute
right guy!"
