Bouquet Inspiration

I found it, my new favorite bouquet, pehaps ever. I've never seen anything like this but I love it. Courtesy of Snippet & Ink, from the Sneak Peak of Anli & Kenneth's Wedding.

So much to do!

Okay so between a fabulous beach weekend over the 4th and staying busy at work I've been neglecting the good ol' blog. Here's what's going on in my own little wedding planning world.

Today we will meet with a potential videographer
I have my first dress appointment Tuesday (gasp!)
We need to schedule meetings with potential officiants

I have a couple of invitation books to go through to figure out what we like. We need to get serious about invites and Save the Dates if we are going to do them. Everyone keeps asking me if anything is new and I haven't really had much to say but hopefully there will be more substantial developments soon!

Need a Good Laugh?

Thanks to the lovely Megan's blog (Meg{Moir}) I found an awesome non-wedding related blog that made me literally LOL at my desk. You will giggle (at the least) at every post. The blog is called Stuff White People Like, and it is completely hilarious and very true, at least in my experience. So check it out here: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ and enjoy!

Making an Exit: Bubbles or Sparklers?

I'm waiting to hear back from the Social Director at Prestonwood as to what rules they have regarding the sendoff at the end of the reception, but in the meantime I'm contemplating whether we want to exit to bubbles or sparklers. I'm not afraid of sparklers at all so that won't be an issue for me, but I think that since our sendoff will be around 11pm that the sparklers would look better than the bubbles at night. I've found some pictures of both at Prestonwood to give you an idea of what it would look like.

Fun in the Sun

As promised, here are some fabulous pictures of Tucker and his friend Toby playing at the beach this past weekend. They both had a great time and got some really good naps afterwards as well! I'm very excited to take Tucker to the beach for the long weekend over the holiday - he will have other dogs in the house to keep him company, Jade and Katie, and maybe even Bridget too! Maybe I can round up some more wedding related items to post this week?

Beach Bound

I am very much looking forward to going to the beach this weekend. Jake, Tucker and I plan to have a great time with friends in the sun and sand. Bocce ball and frisbee throwing are definitely on the agenda! Oh and I'm very excited to see Tucker's reaction to the ocean this time around. The last time we were at the beach it was pretty chilly and he wasn't quite as strong of a swimmer. I will be sure to take some pictures to share!



Hope everyone has a great weekend wherever you are!

Found: Awesome Florist Blog!

Thanks to Snippet & Ink I believe I have found my favorite Home and Floral Design Blog, Housemartin, which is the blog of Pam Zsori of Ink & Peat. I love how she incorporates unique and unexpected natural elements into her arrangements, including thistle, succulents and more. Here are a couple of images that really stood out to me. I think I'll save these for my floral inspiration collection!
