a first wedding

I know I’m a little behind on this, but I really wanted to blog about this while we were in Maui, but I couldn’t for many reasons!

I was so excited to see pictures of Jenna Bush’s wedding the day after it took place. I love the elegant simplicity that they chose. If I had a huge piece of land a lake I’d have had my wedding there, too! Just by looking at the pictures you can see how comfortable, but beautiful this whole affair was and you know that everyone had a good time. I love how it looks (at least in pictures) like they didn’t choose anything over the top. They have very simple pew markers and they really played up the natural beauty of the setting. Good for Jenna for choosing a wedding at home over at White House wedding.

This image is so stunning!

photos of the silhouettes and wands

I wanted to post some pictures of the wand project. I have two containers that are both full of these pink and white wands. They move nicely and I think it will be a nice alternative to throwing something at the send-off. And the whole project cost less than $30.00!


I got our silhouettes back from the framer and I’m so pleased with them. I wish they were more similar in size, but Todd’s head was obviously too big when he was 4 years old to fit on a smaller card. Just kidding. I’m the one on the left and Todd is on the right. He’s saying, “Will you marry me?”

better late than never

A while ago I promised to post pictures of the adorable bachelorette party invitations that my maid of honor, Catherine, created for the bridesmaids and me. She created an adorable velum pocket with a silhouette of a Texas-looking scene. Catherine included lyrics to some of my favorite songs on two of the cards; Heads Carolina, Tails California (or Ft. Worth, TX) on the first card and Sangria Wine on the New Vintage Wine Trail card. She’s so talented and so creative!

isn’t the little curtain of ribbons so adorable for the lingerie shower card?!

welcome bag bonanza

Todd’s mom came over last night and we set up an assembly line and stuffed all of the welcome bags for our out of town guests. We had fun stuffing those 60 bags. I am a little concerned how I’m going to get to Greenville in my tiny Jetta with all these bags! We’re running out of places to put them in the house, and Boudreaux can’t wait until we leave the room so he can rummage through a bag to get a Gullah Gourmet Shrimp and Grits packet. Yum!

Dasani water, shrimp and grits, something sweet, and something salty!
bonanza!
