Engagements: Celebrate in Style

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.
