Put a Cork In It

These are my outfit photos from the engagement party we threw for my brother-in-law last week.  I didn't make my husband take outfit photos, but was fortunate that the photographer I hired had many detail photos and the files were so large, that I was able to crop them to show my outfit off.  The party was hosted at a winery across town, so my theme was "Put a cork in it" and I went a little crazy.

I was messing around with the only knife we found to cut the cake.

Dress & Belt: Suzi Chin; Earrings: Social Glo

Necklace: Lovebirds via Etsy

Cork Bangles: Kate Spade;  Enamel Bangle: JCrew

Purse: Magid c/o heels.com (similar & splurge)

Shoes: Jimmy Choo Pela via eBay (buy in espresso)

The party was a resounding success.  My sister-in-law and I made these cork centerpieces that I found from this pin on Pinterest. We sourced the outside cylinders from various HomeGoods stores and a Dollar Tree for the inside cylinders. We used pillar candles instead of tealights and they stayed lit the entire evening. The corks came from a friend of Mr. Fantastic's who let us borrow his 10-year collection! I thought they were a beautiful way give the winery a glow in the evening.

 

Mr. Fantastic is wearing: Shirt: The Perfect Fit from Neiman Marcus; Belt: Ralph Lauren; Slacks: Hugo Boss; Shoes: Johnston & Murphy.  Isn't he good-looking? I married him! :)

What do you guys think? Too much cork? Not enough? The wedding will be held next year at a California Vineyard, so I am all ears for other recommendations for what to wear!
