That's amore...



I can't wait to tell you about how good of a time and how beautiful that wedding we went to last weekend. Being around all my friends really had a good affect on me and I feel more like my old self than that lesser version I've been in the last month.

Onto the show....


Seven bridesmaids!


TEN groomsmen!!!


One bride + two father figures!


Me and BM Kim


Most of the Junior Clan back together again!


The amazing centerpieces


The Bride and her party crew


Isn't she stunning?!


Yummy Cake!


The Happy Couple


The Hubby and me!

Taking the plunge...

My MOH is getting married in just a few days and I wanted to say a few words to her...

Its seems silly how two little words and a small ring can change the rest of your life. Signing your name on the dotted line, knowing that you just created your new family. We've spent our lives remembering the past and planning for our futures but this weekend, just sit back and relish every moment you can because before you know it, it will be next week and you'll be an married woman. I know I've said it before how you lucked out to find such a great man, but in reality, I always thought he was the lucky one to find a person like you!

Best wishes and many happy moments on your journey together!

Salut!

Love is in Bloom!

~~~~LOTS OF PHOTOS...BEWARE!~~~~

Back in February, a few us starting planning our dear friend's bridal shower. We decided we wanted to keep everything under wraps so we kept a secret blog detailing all the neat ideas we came up with. Little by little our theme came alive and this is the end result!

On the way into the clubhouse, we scattered lots of daisies. It smelled sooo good!


To go with the theme, the favors we choose were little pots filled with seeds. We wrapped them up and wrote directions on the back of the sign:


Our centerpieces were all bright colored roses with grass, giving the illusion of them growing! I think they turned out darling! We used pedals and scattered them from on side of the table to the other, like it was a table runner!



Me and BM Patty


We made two other centerpieces for other tables when the guests walk in.




One of the neat things we did was ask all our guests to give some advice to the bride written on a pedal. When they arrived, we placed them in a scrapbook we made for her:



Her cake was lemon cake with white chocolate frosting. It was yummy!


BM K did an amazing job with the bride's rehearsal bouquet!


For the bride, one of the presents we gave her was a towel cake and a just married ornament:


Last but not least, a photo of most of her beautiful BMs and the guest of honor in the center!



Everything turned out great and to see our bride so happy was worth all the hard work! Photos provided by myself and BM Kimmy!

Finally...

I bought a pair of shoes for my best friend's wedding this summer. I've been religiously stocking DSW and Zappos and Steve Madden for the right shoe and that's when I finally saw these beauties:


Guess Women's Pilsner 2 Peep Toe Pump
# Leather upper
# Manmade sole
# Heel measures approximately 3 1/4"

I think the only downfall was they weren't my requisite 3 3/4" - 4" heel... but I can overlook it...

When I first glanced at them a month ago I knew I had to buy them, and when I went back, they did not exist. So after a month of scouring the web, I turned to old faithful aka Amazon and found them! Now I will wait patiently by the mailbox while my pretty little shoes come. While the hubby will look bewildered by another pair of heels coming into the house he'll understand it's part of the "uniform" I get wear for the wedding!

Another imaginary wedding...

Around 5 or so years ago, I distinctly remember I wanted my BMs to wear a dress that had a print on it. Fast forward to actual wedding planning and just like how I forgot about my dream dress, I totally forgot about this too...until this morning. Yes I know, almost five months since the wedding and I barely just remembered this "big" idea. So I decided to put together a series of imaginary weddings all centered around print some way or another.

While pretend shopping with my imaginary limitless checkbook I found the cutest dress:

Jayson Brunsdon
Satin Bamboo-Print Dress
Price: $575.00


Such inspiration...Here are other ideas that would work will with this design without becoming campy:

All in all, a nice clean green and white theme. You could even add touches of pink give it a pop! If you have any dresses you'd like to see a theme centered around, send in the links to the photos and we'll give it a whirl!
