this gorgeous couple are going to get married!! jo was one of my young women back when i first got called to serve in the dianella young womens program and now (even though it seems like that was only a week ago) she's old enough to be someones wife! crazy...
last night was her engagement party and i had the time of my life decorating, baking & styling with my friend pippa and her friend kyelee who loaned us some of the awesome glassware you're about to lay your eyes on.
paper hearts made from an old dictionary -
torn in half and stapled...
hanging on fishing line from the roof of the patio at kafarelas vineyard, where we had the party. everything looked amazing and it made all the time and effort we put in well worthwhile when we saw the final result.
drink dispensers full of (l to r)
frozen berries & sage with water
pink lemonade koolaid with lemon wedges
pineapple slices & mint leaves
dessert table with brownies... blueberry & vanilla macarons from maison saint-honore and confetti vanilla & s'more chocolate cupcakes from pippaskye followed not too long after.
yum yum!
i love pics from parties before any one arrives... always better than the during and after shots - cause everything is still perfect! ;)
lolly jars, milk bottles & paper straws...
such funky additions to a beautifully styled party
paper lanterns, tissue paper ruffle balls, lights and vintage paper...
effortless classic, timeless charm.
lolly jars from pips friend kyelee complete with a note on my vintage tray blackboard....
'please take a lolly bag as you leave...'
with all of us working hard together, everything looked amazing -
can't wait for our next event!
