They make a lovely couple and we decided to host the most incredible engagement diner party to celebrate them. After much consideration, we settled on an intimate gathering held at a quaint local restaurant named <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Lezvos (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lezvos.com\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Lezvos<\/a>. We simply adore the wonderful Greek cuisine they serve and thought it would be the perfect setting to host our party. We invited only close family and friends, making a group of 12. Instead of having a large celebration, we concentrated on a small, high quality event with no detail spared! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"583\" height=\"271\" src=\"http:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-at-lezvos.jpg\" alt=\"Our Daughter's Engagement Party at Lezvos restaurant in Saint-Sauveur Quebec\" class=\"wp-image-3540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-at-lezvos.jpg 583w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-at-lezvos-150x70.jpg 150w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-at-lezvos-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 583px) 100vw, 583px\" \/><figcaption>Engagement Party at Lezvos <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engagement Party Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">We went to a local breakfast, brunch and pastry shop called <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"La Farandole (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lafarandole.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">La Farandole<\/a>, to create our cake. It was simply gorgeous. We put out heads together using design plans and a tape measure to custom create our very own sweet masterpiece! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">The base was navy blue with a cushion pattern and was adorned with silver candy pearls. This layer was 12 inches in diameter. The top layer was pure white and had a diameter of 8 inches. Ribbons of blue and white creme au beurre embellished the base of both layers. On each level we had white flowers and the top had a large Lilly flowers with a cascading vine of white flowers partially cascading down the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">We debated on a cake topper but we decided against it in favor of these delectable flowers. The result was simply breathtaking. It looked wedding-worthy! We got a ton of compliments on the cake, including that it was better than any wedding cake they had ever seen.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"530\" src=\"http:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-cake2.jpg\" alt=\"Our Daughter's Engagement Party Blue and White Cake\" class=\"wp-image-3543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-cake2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-cake2-150x133.jpg 150w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-cake2-300x265.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Engagement Party Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engagement Party Favors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">No engagement party would be complete without favors for the guests, and let me just say-we pulled out all the stops! We arranged a silver trinity heart bottle stopper with a bottle of Italian champagne. But we didn\u2019t stop there\u2026 balanced on top, we added a heart shaped box filled with Sixlets and a Baci chocolate, and all this was enveloped in an organza bag. We tied the bags and adorned them with navy blue ribbons and strings of silver gemstones. We also affixed silver tags to each favor with the names of our guests. These served to identify the favors and act as place cards for our seating arrangements. Our guests were very impressed and said they couldn\u2019t even imagine what our wedding favors would look like if this was for the engagement party! Quite a compliment, and I have to admit it\u2019ll be hard to outdo ourselves when the time comes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"409\" src=\"http:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-favors.jpg\" alt=\"Our Daughter's Engagement Party Favors\" class=\"wp-image-3545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-favors.jpg 400w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-favors-147x150.jpg 147w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-favors-293x300.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/engagement-party-favors\/\">Engagement Party Favors<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Venue Decor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">With our choice of a family style menu, a flower bouquet would have been a space issue with the service of the many dishes.

We pre arranged the menu to remove the stress of guest\u2019s ordering for themselves. We\u2019ve been to the restaurant before and know which dishes are the very best! So we planned a five course meal that everyone found  mouth-wateringly delicious. We began with Greek salad, followed by spanakopita and plates of fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki. Then we had grilled peppers and mushrooms, followed by calamari and grilled octopus. For the main course we ordered racks of lamb and grilled chicken. Of course, we topped off the meal with our gorgeous cake, served with fruits and specialty coffees. The entire meal was truly \u2018to die for\u2019.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"415\" src=\"http:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party.jpg\" alt=\"Aaron &amp; Karina's Engagement Party\" class=\"wp-image-3547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party.jpg 600w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/weddingconnexion.com\/tropical-destination-wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/karina-aaron-engagement-party-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Aaron &amp; Karina&#8217;s Engagement Party<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">To say that the engagement party was a complete success is an understatement!
