Retro Hipster Co-Ed Shower

We are so excited to share this fun retro hipster co-ed shower that was organized and shot by Tonya Peterson. We LOVE the idea of doing a co-ed shower! It seems only fitting to be able to do a group shower with all of your friends including your guy friends, and to be able to involve the groom and his friends… the more the merrier! What do you think of this idea? Would you do a co-ed shower? How about a sunglasses theme? Love it all!

“As I was sitting around with my cousin and my sister one day this summer, we were trying to come up with a unique idea for a stylized shoot. We wanted something different than you see in every bridal magazine. My cousin Emily had these amazing wood sunglasses she got from Proof Sunglasses in Idaho. We started talking about how cool they were and the idea for the Retro Hipster co-ed wedding shower was born.

We decided to build these shoot around the sunglasses. The concept was for a hip, trendy shower that would appeal to men and women. The sunglasses provided the right inspiration because Proof makes glasses for men and women. We used the glasses as the favors and as part of the invitations, menu and on other signs around the shoot.”
