A big thank you to Abby at Style Me Pretty for featuring my inspiration board that I created for Catherine’s Arkansas barn wedding on her blog. Style Me Pretty is my favorite wedding blog and always features so many great vendors, ideas from brides, and beautiful real weddings. I’m so excited to be on her blog today!
I told my friend, “LeCorn” that I was looking for an all-white, modern chandelier and hadn’t been able to find one. She told me to check out Wisteria.com and she was right! I found the perfect chandelier for our bedroom. We have really classic and traditional features of our house, but the pendant fixtures in our kitchen are really modern and I really want to modernize our master bedroom. We picked a really traditional bed, but chose really modern fabric. I moved my blue and brown living room accents up to the bedroom and will have a blue and brown bedroom with white accents.
Todd and I have basically created “dream lists” of items for the house that we’d love to have some day and we’ll just have to add this one to it. It’s definitely going on my “Must Find at Market” list for July 2008 in hopes of finding it at wholesale price.
We’ve officially entered the throws of wedding party central. We had a couple of engagement parties and showers that spanned 5 or 6 months, but we’re into every weekend now and it’s so much fun!
Last Friday, a couple of Todd’s coworkers and one spouse hosted a really fun engagement cocktail party at their beautiful home. It was fun to catch up with all of Todd’s colleagues and eat great food. I also got hooked on Guitar Hero because of the children in the house. This weekend, Todd’s mom and I are headed to Dallas and staying with my parents. I’ll pick up my dress, get my hair styled, make a bouquet, and head to Shreveport to meet Kelly Moore for my portraits. We’ve got a shower in Ruston on Saturday morning and I really can’t wait. Three of my bridesmaids will be there and it will be so nice to hang out with them on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night– and get some crawfish, finally!
This shower is being hosted by the ladies that worked in the Louisiana Tech Admissions office with me and a lot of my college friends will be there.
It’s fun celebrating with friends every weekend and it definitely keeps the stresses of the actual wedding at bay.
I didn’t take any pictures at last weekend’s fete, but promise to this weekend.
Daylight savings time is in effect, white dresses (and white shoes, if you approve of that kind of thing) are just around the corner, and Reese’s eggs are on the shelves!
The Reese’s eggs are the highlight of my spring season. They are better than regular Reese’s cups because of the adorable yellow packaging, of course, but also because they’re bigger and can hold so much more peanut butter. I know I’m not the only one that feels this way. It’s such a shame that my bridal portraits are this weekend and I can’t indulge in an entire bag for a while. I’m tempted to buy a bag, freeze them, and take them on the honeymoon.
