Brooke and Derek Engagement dinner

I’ve always wanted to throw a dinner party, so when Brooke and Derek got engaged, I figured this would be the perfect excuse. Brooke has been my roommate since I moved to the Nottinghill house in January. I am so sad she is leaving, but so excited for her and Derek to finally get married :)

IMG_5932 I planned to have it outside on our deck, but it was a little chilly that evening and got dark early, so we moved it to the dining room, nice and cozy, we barely all fit.
