Jewel Tone Wedding and Engagement Party
Ah! Once you get engaged, there are numerous fun events, one of which is an engagement party. Ideas are often hard to find, but the inspiration below, in summer jewel tones (or spring jewel tones, if you prefer, or any time of year, really!), has plenty of engagement party ideas!
What happens at an engagement party?
If you are wondering about things to do at an engagement party or what happens at one, but there are really no set rules. It’s basically a get-together to celebrate and honor the bride and groom-to-be.
You can be as formal as sending engagement party invitations and having the ladies wear jewel tone formal dresses if you’d like. Or it can be as simple as inviting a few friends for drinks and a cookout. The formality is up to you, but the point is to celebrate!
What are jewel tones?
And what is the jewel tones definition? Traditionally, classic colors are those that are deeper and reminiscent of gemstones, such as amethyst, sapphire, and emerald. This take on jewel tones – hair of the bride-to-be included – pairs gold with the jewel tone color palette. Pantone lovers unite! It’s a regal look that can lead to some truly creative engagement party decorations.
Engagement Party Ideas
Why not gather friends for an intimate, catered meal at your home (or another location if you prefer)? It’s a way to be able to chat and converse while enjoying engagement party toasts in your jewel tones clothes. Speaking of clothes, the ladies below are wearing upscale casual jewel tone dresses. You don’t have to go formal, but it is nice to dress it up a bit. And the bride-to-be is wearing a jewel toned jumpsuit in teal. Such a pretty choice!
As for engagement table decorations, ideas can be as simple as adding candles in jewel tones or using gold and silverware and fine plating. It creates such a stunning, regal look! The jewel tone wedding table below is simple, yet elegant, and the pops of color really shine through. I’d say that the answer to “are jewel tones coming back” is a resounding YES!
