I Do!

The season of engagements is most certainly upon us- both in the time of year and this season of my life. I have been so lucky to share is this exciting time with several dear friends recently and have enjoyed celebrating with them. I guess you could say we have started a tradition of throwing intimate engagement luncheons and celebrations and this past Saturday we held another for Kristin.
The luncheon was held in the Zodiac at Neimans. We could not go all out with decor here for obvious reasons, but we added touches where we could. Since Kristin's ring was from Tiffany's we ran with the Tiffany blue theme. I made glitzy place cards for us all- sparkle, sparkle from all areas of our table (and fingers) on Saturday!
If you follow me on Twitter you likely also saw my chocolate covered pretzels with pearls, these were the favors. I mixed the chocolate until I got the right color of blue and the popped the edible pearls on before it hardened. I had also made monogram gift tags with Kristin's new initials which I tied on each favor, I love how these turned out; most certainly a sweet treat!
We ordered petit fours through Neimans and they were divine. We had them run with the theme as well. The dainty blue flowers were the perfect, feminine touch!
Emily made a lovely arrangement of white blooms. It looked perfect on the table next to all the other trinkets and sweets.
We had a fabulous lunch celebrating Kristin and this special time in her life! Good friends and Neimans never ever let you down!
