A few months after the proposal, a couple of friends threw us an amazing engagement party.

They held the party at The Estate, a fancy nightclub in Boston. The bachelorette scene from Bride Wars was filmed there. Apparently, Kate Hudson is a huge fan of the club.

I’m a new fan, too! It was the perfect setting for the party. My friends reserved a private room. It was actually two rooms, one had a bar and music, and the other side was a little more intimate.

There ended up being a snowstorm on the night of the party, but so many of our friends came, and we were so grateful to have so many people there. It was so special. One of my favorite details was a slideshow BIL Starfish created for us throughout our dating years set to music with quotes throughout. They had it playing on replay through out the night.

The details were so awesome. Even the desserts fit the color sceme.

The cupcakes: The one thing, I was allowed to do! My mom had said she would take care of them, but was sick before the party, so I made them so she wouldn’t have to. I think they turned out great! All the supplies were bought through confectionery house, except the rings, which were purchased through A.C. Moore.

All of the food was amazing. Everything was homemade or purchased through Roche Brother’s and everything was delicious!

Chocolate covered strawberries were a huge hit.

They had diamond details everywhere! It was dim in the place and everything was glowing—from the candlelight to the sparkly diamonds.

A few of my mom’s delicious homemade desserts:

They used the plate I made for Mr. Starfish at a pottery studio, the week after he proposed. “Love is Life” is a quote written on an archway on the cliffwalk in Newport.
