I want to say it was a super relaxing weekend – that everything is all set and ready to go and we enjoyed salads and tranquility. Instead we ran around the house like crazy people and then engaged in some emotional eating afterwards:) Life is good. I didn’t exactly plan for the whole packing thing, and now I’m regretting some of the DIY projects I took on – why would I think it’s a good idea to transport boxes of…
Despite how crazy life is these days, yall know I fit a little relaxation into Friday and Saturday evenings! My brain has reached max capacity with details and planning, so I asked Matt to plan something low-key for Friday night. So we went on a picnic! We had hoped to check out the music at the American Tobacco Campus, but they no longer allow coolers – bummer! We made the best of it by finding a nice grassy patch outside…
Exercise used to be my time to clear my head – now it’s the time that my to-do list fills my head and ruins my me time. We’ve been eating giant salads over here, because they are quick and easy and good for wedding bodies. Work got crazy this week, which can be expected for this time of year – what is it about the end of school and kids acting crazy? Sleep and I are BFF. I’m going to…
Guys, I had the most wonderful weekend! My bridal shower was so lovely I nearly cried. It was hosted by three of my mom’s close friends, who have watched me grow up:) They prepared a beautiful spread of food, sangria, and pear punch! Everything was delicious, but I think these bacon-wrapped pears stole my heart. Although everyone knows cake is my true love. Strawberry in the middle! I think my favorite part of the shower was a newly-wed game that…
I was so sorry to hear the news from Texas today. It’s been such a sad week for so many people – a reminder of how many things we all have to be grateful for. For one, spring is in full bloom! The weather has been so perfect lately and NC is just gorgeous this time of year. I’m definitely getting a bit sad to leave this awesome place! Now that the weather is warmer, I’ve been craving lighter meals…
The highlight of my weekend was definitely a little engagement party we had at Six Plates wine bar on Thursday!! A couple of of friends got together and hosted and it was so sweet! I don’t think anyone has ever planned a party for me and it just meant so much to have all our friends gather together to celebrate. Of course, since it was at a wine bar, there was wine! Its so fun being able to choose wines…
All invites are out, so here they are! I loved how they turned out, although I can’t say addressing them was my favorite part of wedding planning:) I used Southern Fete Creative, and had them design a custom invitation based on the Garden Suite on their website. Early on, I decided to have custom napkins made through Etsy, and have been using the swatch of fabric as inspiration for a bunch of wedding items. I would highly recommend Southern Fete…
Hello! I’m just getting around to posting a few pictures from our very short trip to Bald Head Island. Matt and I met my parents, my sister, and little Mazen on the island for a quick getaway and some wedding business. The temperatures were unseasonably cold, but we still had a blast. We bundled up and ventured out on Saturday afternoon to see the house we rented for the wedding week. I stood on the balcony and it was so…
