Weekend Shenanigans: Bridal Shower Edition

Wow what a weekend! Full of love, laughter, and the beginnings of a happily ever after! The greatest and cleverest ladies of mine put together THE cutest little Bridal Shower set up, and it was a blast! It was pretty much Pinterest paradise, and it was perfect. 

Every little touch was just a little slice of sunshine, from the entry way "date jar" idea and recipe box, the pictures on canvas, to the mimosa bar (my fave), the delicious lunch (and strawberry feta salad!), to the table dedicated to sweets. 









The little details on everything was just too cute, and it was fun seeing all of the little things that the girls had put together. 

And of course they had me "practice" my cake cutting skills-since everyone knows it's a piece of vital information that you will need for an actual wedding! 


The games we played were so funny! I've never played any bridal shower games before, so this was all new to me too. 





The final product of the designer wedding dresses was spectacular! We have some hidden talent among us. ;) 

The Full Package (including earrings, head piece, and train), The "Easy Access," The Classic, and The Mermaid! 







[[Couldn't have done it without my best good friend Dovie! Thank you THANK YOU for hosting!]]

Overall it was the best time and my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much. Special shout out (and a huge thank you) to all of my bridesmaids for putting this together for me. I'm big on the "small things" and there were a bunch of "small things" that just made it come together. I am so lucky and thankful for friends like these! Really it should be a special shout out to everyone that came, because really, I am so fortunate to know all of you! 

Love LOVE!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare 

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands.
