Ladies Holiday Cocktails and Our Engagement Party Weekend!

This weekend was a busy one!  As the holiday season nears and we leave for our southern states tour, we have been booked solid for the last two weeks!  Last Friday, Leah planned a girl's cocktail party.  Since I love to do table settings, she let me take reign over the table decor!  Leah had tons of food and of course since we are all girls, no one barely ate!  It was beautiful though!


The bar with homemade Sangria and garnishes galore!

The seating area- plain candles were spruced up with dried fruits and cranberries.


The main table.  We used a red green and white theme and kept the main focus on the beautiful food!

An easy way to spruce up a boring windowsill.

Adding some color to our votives.

Leah used fancy wine and liquor bottles for her candle holders!  Fun and easy DIY project!

The following night, Danny and I had our engagement party for our friends in DC at the Blaguard.  Hosted by our dear friends, Nic and Elizabeth, we had a fun and classy time in the new upstairs bar area.  With sparkling champagne and a 9-foot Subway Sub (Danny's engagement present from me), we had a great night with great friends.  The highlight of the evening was Danny's speech.  I am so lucky to be marrying such an amazing man! :)  Thanks to Nic and Elizabeth and all of our friends who came out!  Our first celebration was a fun one!

Champagne all around!

Danny's 9-Foot Sub!

I made Rum Cake Cupcakes- Danny's favorite!
One of my bff's, Corey, made it out!  Pirate leg and all!

Nic, our host, lighting the sparklers!

Voila!  It's time to party!

Thank you, Carter for making the trip up to see us!

Late night with Leah!
It was an incredible weekend and we couldn't have had so much fun without all of our amazing friends!  Now we gear up for a few more parties (5 between the two of us in the next 3 days) and then off to see more friends and family!   Love you all!

xoxo,

  1. Oh these are just fantastic ladies holiday cocktails and your Engagement Party Weekend looks blasting. These arrangements are just fantastic. We recently got engaged at the local San Francisco venues and it was also a fun family bash.
