Our Summery Cocktail Engagement Party

Balmain Sailing Club

Oh what an engagement party it was! ... even if I do say so myself! 

We wanted to celebrate our recent engagement by the water and in the warmth of the sun, and oh my gosh we got warm... it was a boiling hot day (so set up was kinda mad/sweaty/hot) but as you’ll see below, it was all worth it! 

As we already knew we wanted a small, intimate wedding day, we opted to fulfil our party vibe needs with a big & festive celebration for our engagement party. 

Matteo - the love of my life and the best person I’ve ever met - was a massive help with all the setup and planning and so was his beautiful family, it really was a labour of love for this party to come together. 

Matteo & I both LOVE margaritas & tacos, so having a taco bar and cocktails were a no-brainer.

We also had a 7 piece band (who were AMAZING), beautiful summer inspired furnishings and decor & of course a floral installation by the bar.  My team and freelances were amazing and worked so hard to make this happen.

After the band left, our doggo Cooper came in for entertainment - he was a real hit! haha!

My beautiful & super talented photographer  (and now friend), Lana Ivanova captured everything perfectly.  She'll also be coming to Byron Bay to shoot our wedding in July!
