We did an engagement party for a couple of fantastic ladies this weekend.  It was held at a  local pizza place in their upstairs party space.  Exposed brick walls and tall ceilings and windows gave us the downtown feel that we were looking for a relaxed environment for lots of family and friends to come and help celebrate the upcoming nuptials.  

We went with a purple and black theme and it was fun to do the arrangements with black ostrich feathers for a bit of flirt factor and engagement photos on the tables (taken by Felicia Marx) for guests to take home at the end of the evening.  It was a great casual evening filled with lots of laughter and easy conversation.  

We decided to do a lighting template on the wall as guests entered.  It provided a great pop to the space and they will be able to reuse the template at any other event.

I am looking forward to wedding planning with them for their fall ceremony.  Great ladies and so easy to work with.
