{engagement party} country folk

Sarah + Flor’s engagement party is such a fun way to kick start this week.  This party is jam packed with DIY projects that I know you guys are going to love.  Keeping with the Country {folk} theme, glass jars and jugs were decorated with cloth fabric and buttons and the boutonnieres and bouquet were created from fabric, twine and yarn.
Their theme was “Something I can’t live without” where each guest would bring a gift for the bride and groom that signified something they couldn't live without.  For example, if you can’t live without sleep you would gift the couple with a sleeping bag. Guests went home with Tapatio sauce favors...
Their guestbook doubles as a photbooth too. Guests would snap a photo with a fuji mini instax poloroid and pin it on the board with a message to the couple.

    Oh my gosh this might be the cutest engagement party I've ever seen! Love all the country details and the "what I can't live without" theme is a great idea.

    Red and white checkered tablecloths are still one of my favorite summer decor:D They were used in just the right setting here. What a fun party!

    We had so much fun at this Engagement Party! It was unlike any Engagement Party we've Photographed because it was jam-packed with creativity! CreativeJane did an awesome job with the DIY projects, she is your go-to-girl for sure! And Bella Bloom Floral Designs never fails to use her creative flare to its fullest. AnnaCakes' Sunflower Cake was soooo moist and delicious!!!!

    Oh man this is just too cute "y'all"! I am loving the button details and the gingham tablecloth. The cake with the raffia and sunflowers is just the bees knees. Can you imagine their wedding. It's going to be...dare I say it, Chris? BANANAS!!!

    Oh this is just too darling! What a wonderful way to start the week ;-)) I can only image what their wedding is going to be like with all the details that went into this engagement party! And I adore the theme too! I am a firm believer that if time and money allow, all couples should have an engagement party. It is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to meet, and get excited about the big day!
