Our Summery Cocktail Engagement Party

Oh what an engagement party it was! ... even if I do say so myself! 

We wanted to celebrate our recent engagement by the water and in the warmth of the sun, and oh my gosh we got warm... it was a boiling hot day (so set up was kinda mad/sweaty/hot) but as you’ll see below, it was all worth it!

Adventures in Sri Lanka

Back in April Matteo and I hoped on a plane to Sri Lanka.  We honestly didn't know what to expect of this unique country but I can now confirm, it's full of magic, beauty, culture, sunshine & inspiration.  

If you’re looking for a very affordable place to travel and soak up the sun, celebrate your destination wedding, honeymoon in paradise or just in need of an inspiring holiday, you’ll LOVE Sri Lanka!  I will say, you’ve gotta be prepared for an adventure to do it on the cheap, but if you want absolute luxury, there are also many options to live it up in absolute comfort at very affordable prices.    We did a bit of both!
