DIY Rustic Engagement Party
Last year my sister got engaged while I was away in New York and she and her then fiance had a little party at a bar with their friends. Not content to miss anything I insisted she needed ANOTHER party (which I would throw myself), for all of our family and our family friends. She agreed... and I began tracking down every Hobby Lobby in the Tri-State area.
The brief: Rustic, elegant, floral, vintage
My sister has great taste. And as this was the first official event of her wedding I wanted it to set the tone. This is what I went with:
Food:
Tea sandwhiches in a rustic wooden tray
White chocolate macaron tower
Chocolate dipped strawberry and marshmallow tower
Cream cheese frosted cupcakes in a tower
Ombre Chocolate and oreo gems with gold leaf
5 tier vanilla bean swiss meringue butter cream cake
White chocolate mousse pots with raspberry and edible flowers
Chocolate orange cake pops
Vintage paper wrapped milk chocolate bars
Vanilla marshmallows
White chocolate lollies
Decorations:
Metallic rose gold Love balloon - Hobby Craft
White pompoms - Michael's
Vases - pickle jars with hessian wrap and 'Love' ribbon tied round it - Hobby Craft
MrandMrs sign - Hobby Lobby
L and T paper letters - Michael's
Wooden tray - Hobby Lobby
Cupcake wraps - Amazon
Muted toned flowers by my local highstreet florist - 1 garland and 2 vases
Marshmallow jar - LSA
Mousse pots - eBay
Vinatge chocolate bar paper - Amazon
Vintage Tea Cups - belonged to my Great Grandparents
I got most of this stuff from Hobby craft , Hobby Lobby and from Amazon online, so all these items are really easy to come by and on the whole pretty inexpensive! Although I did this set up for an engagement party this theme would suit so many other occasions perfectly. Think baby shower, birthday, or anniversary...
Got an event to plan? Try some of these ideas! I would love to know how you get on.
