Engagement Party - Michelle & Brian

Working in events I’m always on the lookout for cute and creative ideas. While perusing on Facebook I came across these engagement party pics that I had to share. I went to high school with the bride-to-be Michelle. She currently lives in NYC with her fiancé Brian where they will be married this December. Over the past year whenever her fiancé and her would take trips to new places they would explore the local town looking for treasures (so adorable). This is how she found some of her favorite event accents. Looking at her engagement pics gets me excited to see what her wedding has in store. I am sure it will be beautiful and full of special touches. I love how she has the DIY bug. This truly elevates an event and makes it unique and personal.

Handmade signs from one of her bridesmaids

Bridesmaid gifts - "Cheese Cracker Books" from MoMa with colored pencils from Sam Flax.

Placecards that come with an erasable marker so you can reuse (LOVE). She used them as signs. Purchased from a store in Tennessee called The Shoppes on Main (Franklin, TN). She then found more in NYC at Unique Unusuals.

Signs from Michaels. Her dad spray painted and added the stand.

Mercury votive holders from Michaels. Jamali Garden in NYC also has a great selection. 

Letter candy trays from Unique Unusuals (237 East 57th St.-NYC)

The happy couple
