Sun, Sea & Amore: Wilhelm & Masha's Engagement Celebration in Portovenere

Few engagement celebrations capture the spirit of la dolce vita quite like Wilhelm and Masha's sun-drenched Sunday lunch on the shores of Portovenere. Nestled along the dramatic Ligurian coastline — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — this intimate gathering was defined by warmth, colour, and the kind of thoughtful personalisation that turns a beautiful party into an unforgettable memory.

At Casa Joy, we were honoured to bring a personal touch to their celebration through a curated collection of bespoke engagement party accessories — each one personalised to reflect the couple's unique story.

The Casa Joy Creations

1. Amore Tambourine

Our beloved Amore Tambourine was elevated for the occasion with a custom hand-painted logo, making it both a showstopping centrepiece and a keepsake guests couldn't resist picking up. The tambourine has become one of Casa Joy's most iconic celebration accessories — and in the hands of Masha and Wilhelm's guests, it became the soundtrack to their afternoon.

2. Viento Fan 

The Viento Fan, crafted from natural materials and finished with an engraved logo, was the perfect companion for a warm Ligurian afternoon. Elegant, functional, and deeply personal — the engraved detail gave each fan an heirloom quality that elevated it well beyond a typical party favour.

3. Ray Fan 

Alongside the Viento, guests also received the Ray Fan featuring the couple's printed logo. Light, beautiful, and entirely on-brand for a seaside celebration, the Ray Fan is one of our most sought-after personalised wedding and engagement accessories.

4. Luz Matchboxes

No Casa Joy celebration is complete without the Luz Matchboxes — our signature personalised matchboxes that have graced tables from Milan to Marbella. For Wilhelm and Masha's lunch, these small but mighty details caught the Ligurian light and served as a lasting reminder of the day.

5. Abrazo Pashmina

As the afternoon breeze picked up over the sea, guests wrapped themselves in the Abrazo Pashminaabrazo meaning embrace in Spanish, and that is exactly what it delivered. Soft, generous, and personalised for the couple, the pashmina doubled as a wearable memory of the day.

6. Beso Napkin

Every place setting was completed with the Beso Napkin, bringing the couple's personal touch directly to the table. Beso — a kiss — felt entirely fitting for an engagement celebration. The custom napkins added a layer of intimacy and intention to the dining experience.

A Warm Welcome for Every Guest

Guests arriving to the celebration were greeted with an Oasis Hat and a Solace Parasol — Casa Joy's answer to a warm, sunny Sunday by the sea. These welcome gifts set the tone from the very first moment: this was a day designed with care, from start to finish.

A Celebration of Craft & Emotion

Every Casa Joy piece is designed to tell a story — and Wilhelm and Masha's engagement party on the Ligurian Riviera was the perfect expression of what we believe in: thoughtful personalisation, Mediterranean craftsmanship, and a deep connection to the celebration it belongs to.

Our team worked closely with the couple to ensure each accessory felt authentic, cohesive, and unmistakably theirs — transforming simple objects into lasting memories that guests will keep long after the afternoon fades.
