In Lauren's words, "Jess and I discussed concept and vision from the beginning, along with our close friend (and Jess' MOH) Amanda. Our color palette was soft peach/pink and craft paper brown...with accents of hot/neon pink and gold. "......
"From gorgeous screen printed invitations on chip board in hot pink lettering with a vellum overlay in gold/peach to homemade bunting, routed out pieces of old lumber for floral centerpieces, laser cut wooden signs with vinyl lettering applied, wrapping tables in craft paper, a magnetic chalkboard painted door to display their lovely engagement photos taken in L.A. (where they used to live) and a place for guests to write clever comments for the couple. The list goes on and on! "....
"We made some homemade summer cocktails (entitled 'piggy punch' and 'porch swing' to celebrate summer), each glass adorned with those adorable striped straws. Of course, with that much love and care poured into everything, how could you not dance the night away in celebration??"

Love the photography, looks like an awesome party! xo
Very,veryy cute.
i love the little details and the colors!
Hi Anna! Lauren sent me the link to your post, thanks so much for posting our engagement party! We had a blast dreaming up summery details, drinks, and fun party games for our guests. Lauren did a great job of describing our vision and the process of making the details come to life.
We are now moving on to wedding planning! The design adventures continue :)
incredibly gorgeous, love the color palette used, and the sweetness!
Great colors. That corn looks delicious :)
love the vintageness of the photos, great idea!
you're so right, it's all in the details! (which is why I'm SO EXCITED to plan the baby shower with you!!!!!) Gorgeous post as always. I'm jealous of that bride's braid...... : )
This looks like the most fun engagement party ever!
love it, but you know what I love the most? that fishtail braid. I never learned how to do that in the 80's and I'm really sad about it. I also need about 12" more hair.
Anna, I'm so glad you shared this -- it's spectacular. Oddly, I just had one of those drink dispensers in my hands today, and if I had a place to put it, it would have come home with me. So many beautiful details here. And the corn! YUM.
Looks like a great laidback party! Love the braid.
Hi Love! These photos are SO gorgeous, wow! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I just love how they did their cocktails. So easy and looks incredibly chic. Really, this is the best party and could be adapted to any occasion.
I'm terribly sorry I missed the shindig... from all of the pictures I've seen, it looks awesome! But I truly wouldn't expect anything less from you, Jess :) Love you and best of luck with the wedding planning!
