*Insert
obligatory 'sorry for lack of posting' speech here* Kidding. But I really am sorry this time.
I've literally just been crazy-busy these last few months and I've been away
and working a lot and basically being a social-queen of late (I mean I
quadruple-booked myself last Saturday night.. I don't think I even have 4 friends, so who knows how that
one happened?!).
ANYWAY
enough rambling, I threw a mini girls party last month to celebrate a big
wedding decision with my fave girls and, obviously, the theme was pink so I
figured that you might want to see some deets of this? It was totally
budget-friendly and a very cute evening was had by all.
Just as a
little side-note, I'm not colour blind and I’m totally aware that the table
runner is red, not pink, so please no hate (it's a new table and I think I'd
cry if I ruined it already).
I put this party together mainly to announce that me & Luke have decided that we are getting married abroad! It makes perfect sense- we live for holidays. The next holiday gets me through the endless weeks of work (even though I definitely love my job) and it's something that we are so passionate about and I really don't see any negatives to this. I also just wanted everyone to get together and get the excitement rumbling!
I chose the pink theme as the boys were going to the pub and it's not very often that all the girls get together, and I just wanted everything to be very girly and pretty and I definitely think that it had the desired effect. The cute, feather string lights set the ambience just nicely, making it look that little bit more chic and I think that the metallic champagne flutes gave it a bit of a high-end vibe.
Not pictured here is the pizza (uh, no girly night is complete without it), the popcorn and the numerous bottles of wine and frozen cocktails that were chilling in the fridge and the mountain of crisps and sweets that everyone brought with them - they know the way to my heart.
The girls loved it and it's definitely something that I'll be able to do again and again and hopefully have the same enchanting effect each time.
If you're wondering where anything from the table has come from, I'll be making a list below so you can, of course, check that out.

What do you think to this? Is it something you'd like to throw yourself?
