a 200-person engagement party
Elizabeth Stalfort and Karl Canby decided to have a 200-person engagement party on Labor Day weekend at the Sagamore Pendry in Baltimore. They wanted to have an occasion to celebrate with their friends and extended family since they planned to have a micro-wedding in Zion National Park. They chose to do the party in Baltimore because Elizabeth is from Baltimore (5th generation) and they will be moving there after they finish law school.
the decor
Victoria Clausen and her team took care of everything. They did the flowers, the planning, the coordination, signs, and found all the rentals. Elizabeth chose light pink, lavender, and white for their colors. She insisted on having flower clouds hanging from the ceiling and on decorating the giant metal horse, in the middle of the courtyard, with flowers. Their dog, Betty Ford, was a main feature. Betty was the muse for the signature drink, “The Betty”, and was on the cocktail napkins.
the fashion
The Bride wore an adorable minidress from Solace London with voluminous off-the-shoulder sleeves. Karl sported a blue plaid sport coat and pink shirt that pulled in the pink from the color palette. Betty, ever the diva, wore a custom ensemble made from extra fabric from the bride's wedding dress.
the food
Catering was done by the chef at the Pendry, Madison Williams. The party started in the courtyard with appetizers - mini tacos, PB and J's, sushi, a charcuterie board, and mini fried chicken with hot honey. It then moved to the pool area for dinner and dancing–paella and grilled seafood. Dessert was cookies and ice cream sandwiches served from an adorable floral ice cream cart!
SPOILER ALERT: They got married in Zion National Park and it was epic–Check out their full wedding here!
