My fiance proposed on the Easter long weekend in April, we’ve been together for five years.
It didn’t take long for us to start planning the engagement party. My fiance’s parents offered to host the party at their home in Kalamunda and we set the date for early June. This was our checklist to create our perfect night-
Thankfully we have some talented friends, we organised catering through our friend Brad at Ole Paella. We had rustic tapas to start and paella as the night went on. Brad catered really well for our vegetarian friends and my lactose intolerance. My gorgeous friend Jess (who you might have seen in one of our wedding frocks) creates the most beautiful cakes and made our engagement cake. It was phenomonal, tiers of dairy free vanilla cupcakes topped with a dairy free white chocolate & raspberry mud cake with a real floral topper.
I had so much fun putting together the decorations for the party, my bestie helped me create DIY lanterns and decorate jars with ribbons and crochet lace. Sandy from Podz Florist, in Kalamunda, sourced our delightful blooms. We had tulips, proteas, peonies… in white and pink hues set against some native greens. The flowers ended up lasting over two weeks, very resiliant blooms!
I’ll let the photos explain the rest of the night. I’d have to say the highlight of my night was my fiance reciting a humourous/romantic poem. I had no idea he had it in him!
