Congratulations on your engagement! Now it’s time to celebrate with friends and family. The engagement party can be used as the foundation for establishing your wedding style as a couple. And since you both gravitate toward a simple, minimalist aesthetic, why not use this shared sentiment in planning for your upcoming nuptials? There’s no better place to start than with the inaugural festivities. For those of you looking for stylish inspiration, here are Bride & Blossom’s favorite decor ideas for the modern engagement party.
Invitations
Your engagement party invitations will be the first element that sets tone of what kind of wedding you will be having. A design featuring modern calligraphy and text on a white and grey marble background looks trés chic. Prefer more color? Look at designs with watercolor embellishment.
Balloons
Not just for children’s birthday parties anymore, balloons are one of the most recent trends to emerge in wedding decor. A strong geometric silhouette and numerous color and styling options make balloons a wonderful decor feature for the modern engagement party.
Having an outdoor party? Tie large white balloons to greenery to create a stunning backdrop perfect for taking photos.
Of course we love this balloon and floral garland! It adds a dose of lively color to the celebration.
For a sophisticated presentation, clear balloons accented with gold string radiate chic elegance.
Florals
When it comes to choosing floral decor, use a less is more approach. The visual impact of just a single white flower in a square glass vase is fascinating. Large tropical leaves look stunning in elegant glass bottle vases. Arrange your blooms in vessels that have a strong geometric form and clean lines such as terrariums with metal detailing. For a beautiful wall display, style greenery and florals on large iron hoops.

From plates and glasses to serving bowls, there are many ways to continue the modern theme on the dinner table.
Can you believe these gorgeous marble and geometric plates and cups are actually made of paper?
These white octagon serving dishes and bowls bring to mind gemstones, adding interest and depth to your food spread.
Perfect for serving a large dish, this striking ceramic bowl is adorned with a minimalist, nature-inspired motif.

Last, but certainly not least, let’s talk dessert! Sweet treats get a modern makeover with marble frosting, edible flowers, and geometric accents.
From romantic to whimsical to elegant, there are many creative ways to do modern engagement party decor. Keep this ideas in mind and you’ll be well on your way to making your wedding vision a reality.
