Bonjour mes amis,
For many couples, when they first get engaged things can be absolutely chaotic. Hassled by family members to set a date (I’m a little guilty of this at present), endless questions about what your wedding dress will be like, and who’s made the cut on the guest list…it can go on, and on, and on!
It is important though to take time to smell the roses if you will and this week we’ve found two who have done just that and celebrated their respective engagements in style.
First up are Skevie and Photi…don’t be fooled by the white dress; this is no wedding but instead their fabulous engagement party!
Held at Tattersall’s, Skevie and Photi celebrated their engagement with 200 family and friends with a simple yet elegant celebration. Not only did this couple manage to squeeze in a rehearsal for their first dance but they’ve now also practiced cutting the cake – a 3 tiered design topped by a beautiful sugar flower arrangement.
Skevie and Photi are in the throws of planning their wedding for May 2011 and after seeing the photo’s from the engagement party, I’ll be waiting with baited breathe to sneak a peak at the shots from their big day.
Adrianna and George are the second couple who are celebrating their engagement with style.
This gorgeous couple were introduced by mutual friends while out at dinner, and while the pair hit it off straight away, at the end of the night when George asked Adrianna for her phone number she decided not to give it to him. After a little persistence and hard work (gentlemen take note!), George managed to get his hands on her phone number through a friend and the rest is, as they say…history.
After dating for 2 years, Adrianna and George will marry in November 2010 at The Greek Orthodox Community of St George with the reception to follow at Victoria Park Golf Club.
With a gorgeous engagement shoot by Poryfri Photography, they’ll have memories that will last a lifetime.

If you’ve got an idea or an expectation of how you'd like the music to be played or when be sure to provide your band, performers or wedding planner (whichever route you’ve taken – remember with modern technology you can also have complete control of this if you choose to use your iPod) with this information. No one can read your mind and chances are whoever you hire is not there to make a rock and roll comeback…at least you hope they’re not! They are there to provide the soundtrack to your wedding day and if you get it right add a little extra romance and excitement to the occasion. Also, consider that they are most likely seasoned professionals and can offer useful advice on stage placement, or suitable times for music to be played. 
I suppose at the end of the day you really have to consider why something is called a cliché. Generally, it’s because it just works. I’m most definitely not saying that you shouldn’t dare to be different, I’m all for thinking outside the square – what I’m saying is think things through to ensure it will be the perfect fit to the wedding you have spent endless hours planning.
At the conclusion of the event a lucky door prize will be drawn for one couple to receive a complimentary table décor package from The Plantation as well as The Little White Wedding Company’s On-the-Day Coordination package, free of charge when booking their wedding at The Plantation. 
When departing, every couple will be presented with a gift bag that contains supplier information as well as a couple of exquisite treats to enjoy.
