happy engagement {party} to elyse & matt!


the mcgowans hosted an engagement party with us for elyse & matt this weekend!  the weather cooperated quite beautifully for our backyard party.  we celebrate our wonderful friends' engagement with a southern soiree - an evening of paper lanterns, whiskey punch, & a few paula dean favorites.  it was so much fun to celebrate these two with our friends & so many of theirs.



our southern soiree menu was quite delicious.  we had pulled pork sliders with pickled onions.  {have you ever pickled anything??  amy made these amazing little gems.  i must try pickling things!}  we had amy's family's pimento cheese dip.  delicious!


mrs paula dean's south georgia caviar:

 {super easy & tasty recipe.

add salt & garlic, of course.}

& no southern meal would be complete without a tasty treat or two!  we had pumpkin whoopie pies with maple cream cheese filling, which turned out to be everyone's favorite.  oh, how i love pumpkin season.


& of course red velvet cupcakes too.


 a huge congratulations to the lovely couple!  we are so happy for you two.  & are happy for a reason to throw a party :)



love love,
kjp.
