Rustic Pre-Wedding Reception
20 May 2020
Glamorous Intimate Baby Shower
4 June 2020This luxurious black, blush and salmon engagement party was truly remarkable. My client knew exactly what she wanted and how she wanted. This is always useful to us wedding and event planners as it makes it easier to give our client exactly what she has envisioned. As always, I love planning any elegant and luxurious event and being in lockdown, has really made me realise how much I do love all of this planning and styling. When we were extremely busy with multiple events pre lockdown, we always tend to forget why we do this. Our focus is shifted on ensuring our clients are happy that we forget to enjoy all the planning that goes with any events. Once an event is over, the Monday after, we are back to the next event and so it goes for the rest of the year. There’s no time to look back and reflect and enjoy the outcome of our hard work! I guess that is life and somehow lockdown was needed to appreciate the little things in life as well as reflect on the bigger ones.
I am enjoying the fact that I can blog more often about my events and reminisce about them – this keeps my passion alive and keeps me focus on life post lockdown. It also makes me sad not knowing if the event industry will go back to normal after this. The weddings and events we style are a luxury. We work with big budgets, big dreams and big visions. We have an affluent and distinguished client base and I feel that life would be pretty sad if achievements and milestones can’t be celebrated the same way. I also feel that lockdown has made everyone more appreciative of family and friends. For this reason, I strongly believe that people will be quick to respond to RSVPs as we all have been socially starved. I am positive that the wedding and event industry will be bigger, better and bolder than before with a real desire to celebrate life itself. We don’t need a specific reason to celebrate. Being alive, healthy and being surround by loved ones is enough reason to celebrate life itself.
Luxurious Black Blush & Salmon Engagement Party
When my client shared her vision with me, I was more than happy to execute! I loved the lavishness of the draping she wanted. The colours itself was quite glamorous so we could’t wait for everything to come together so beautifully. Black, blush and salmon has always been a colour scheme that I wanted to style for a while. For the decor, we lined the table with florals in pinks, blushes and salmon. Candle sticks and holders were a must for when the sun sets as this luxurious engagement party was going into the night. It was a romantic setting once the sun has set. We added some golds to enhance the colours. Our personalised backdrop feature was simply magnificent. My client loved balloons so a balloon garland in her colour scheme was an absolute must. I think balloons at an adult party brings out the playful personality of a person.
This was an intimate at home celebration and we are currently setting up these types of events in the comfort of your home with your immediate family. Feel free to email us or give us a call to discuss your intimate home celebrations with us.
Luxurious Black Blush & Salmon Engagement Party | Review
“Dear Ishrat ❤
Firstly I’d like to say thank you for executing and putting together my engagement party exactly how I envisioned it. If anything you actually exceeded my expectations. Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was set up and arranged.
From the Decor to the Food, waiters from start to finish it was all beautifully and professionally planned. You have a talent and skill that is beyond just putting things together. You make dreams a reality and further more you are just a lovely soul.
You went the extra mile and for me that speaks volumes. May God bless you abundantly and always give you the opportunity to make others special memories and moments a dream come true.
Thank you for everything 💕💕💕” ~ N
