As I’ve said before, last weekend was my bridal shower. There were so many people who contributed to throwing me the most beautiful shower. My maid of honor, mom, and future aunt had countless meetings and pom pom making parties. It was perfect, pink, and girly. My favorite flowers were there, the cake of my dreams with the sweetest cake topper, pink this and pink that. I felt so honored and so overwhelmed with gratitude. I loved everyone there and I still can’t believe it was MY bridal shower. 20120410-092219.jpg

Proverbs 30:18-19
“There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.”

My bridal shower was this past weekend, it was perfect, girly, and pink (pictures to follow this week on the amazing details). The weekend was a bit chilly and I was glad so I could wear this long sleeve maxi. I honestly can’t believe I’m five weeks away from being a bride. I don’t think heavily about it because it all makes me very emotional. I can’t wait to give everyone a romantic night and I can’t wait to marry this man…

5.5.12 (our wedding) is right around the corner, 47 days to be exact. I am calm and enjoying and have enjoyed this whole process. Creating and being creative, watching everything come together.
Last week, my girlfriend came over with her embossing materials and stamps and we put some finishing touches on the wedding programs. It’s very inexpensive for the materials and it makes a huge difference on the finish of a stamp (we also embossed the addresses on the RSVP envelopes)
They are simple, perfect, and us.

Happy Friday loves.
This week I’ve been working on our dessert options for the wedding. I wanted to do something that would be fun for our guests and not the usual wedding cake.

I love the simplicity of a DYI cupcake car.

Cute favor idea, cookies for the road and put them in brown paper bags. Or a cookie table with milk in champagne glasses.

I’m not a black Friday shopper. I get overwhelmed in crowds of people and standing in long lines and being cold are probably my two least favorite things about this time of year. So with my time off I’m going to work on wedding details..
Lighting.

20111125-090722.jpg
Mason jars with tea lights to line the entry way for our guests.

Centerpiece idea.

Now to start the mason jar collecting for all these crafty ideas.

hey loves. So nice to see you again. I’ve missed you all like crazy.

20111117-203244.jpg
Wedding planning has been in full effect and the holidays are rapidly approaching and I have no excuse for my lapse of writing. But with the amount of readers that have contacted me about loving my blog I knew I needed to refocus. So, I’m sorry.
Latly I’ve been obsessing over everything etsy. I have posted before about my love for all things monogrammed and personalized.
Especially jewelry.

20111117-203527.jpg
Love these bracelets. Crazy affordable.

14k gold filled hand stamped necklace. Found here

petite and simple gold filled cross.
Great Christmas gifts, bridesmaid gifts, or a gift for yourself.

Our engagement party was over the weekend.

It was perfect weather and a perfect evening with our families and friends. We have an exciting year ahead of us.

My mother was so thoughtful and bought us a gift, I couldn’t be more excited!
The zoku Popsicle maker.
You can make Popsicles in 7-9 minutes. Amazing.
On the zoku blog they give you some free recipes and they also offer a recipe book on the webiste. (click here for site)

My first pop of choice recipe is going to be these pineapple coconut Popsicles!

½ cup pineapple juice
¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk
¼ cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup sweetened shredded coconut

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Fun.

Can you believe august is here?! It’s always such a love/hate relationship for me, it signals the closing of summer coming of fall at the end but I celebrate my moms and my birthday with a fun mother daughter trip. This one will be even more special for me because one of those days we will spend trying on and looking for my perfect wedding dress.
I’m looking forward to…

It’s been a busy two weeks! With picking a wedding date (that doesn’t conflict with the grooms NASCAR races..) super busy Salon days, and making time for family and friends. I promise to slow down and give pigtails my time too.

Happy Friday.
I can’t believe it’s been a week since I’ve wrote to my readers. With weddings, hair, and vacations, it’s been busy.
