Wedding Wednesday: One Month Countdown









Um, when did that happen?! Insane. This time is so precious to me. While we simply are itching to be husband and wife, Austin and I are trying to soak in every last moment we have as an "engaged" couple. Let's keep in mind that I am probably the most nostalgic person on the face of this earth and like my "memories". With that said, we are trying to do all we can to enjoy this chapter of our lives until we start our new one. We've already planned our "last date night" until we officially say I do! Things start getting really real when the marriage license is in the closet. As I write this though, I can't imagine the emotions I will feel one month from today when I finally get to make the man of my dreams all mine. Forever. Okay, enough of the sap and on to the good stuff...

My bachelorette weekend was this past weekend in Charleston, SC. And boy did we have some fun. I may have actually had a little too much fun. But that's allowed during your bachelorette right? ;-) It was so much fun to spend quality time with all of my incredible bridesmaids. Girl talk is something that just can't be replaced by anything else! Let the photo onslaught begin...




Precious Haymarket Designs Koozies!

My Maid of Honor had t-shirts made of pictures of Austin and I for the girls to wear on Saturday. It was a riot.

Let me preface the below photo by saying I was entirely hungover and put in an old wedding gown for the day. My makeup was hyjacked by a bridesmaid and so were my T. Swift curls. All around a hilarious time.

I am so excited to share my wedding day with these awesome, too much fun ladies. Let the 30 day countdown begin!

Wedding Wednesday

Champagne Toner - at least you only use a sips worth..the rest is for DRINKING!!

I am so excited I could burst! Tomorrow morning, myself and my incredible bridesmaids are heading south to Isle of Palms, SC for my bachelorette weekend. I have truly never been so excited for something I know absolutely nothing about! I cannot wait to see what it has in store and just catch up with my sweet friends. We are all spread across the country these days and it will be so wonderful to have everyone in a single location! Charleston is one of my favorite southern towns, and I will be back on Monday with a full report! 

A little over 30 days till I DO! :)

Wedding Wednesday

Last weekend, I had my second bridal shower along with a party thrown for us by a few sweet family friends. Mixed in were loads of appointments of selecting linens (DONE!) and my final dress fitting as well as hair and makeup trials. It's finally coming down to the wire. We are also mailing our invitations out today. So many different sources say when its proper to mail out invitations. The ones that say 3 months in advance, well, I have one thing to say to that..."ain't nobody got time for that." 6 weeks out works just fine for us.

Here are a few photos from our party and my bridal shower! 







Saturday Night..

The "Marriage Margaritas" were dangerously yummy




Remember I said I had my hair/makeup trial for the wedding? Well who on Earth knew this gals hair could get quite so big. I guess the saying "the bigger the hair, the closer to God" ? Well, I was mighty close on Saturday afternoon...and no, my hair will not look like this on the wedding day :) I can't spoil the surprise!


I head out next Thursday morning for my Bachelorette Weekend with my best lady friends. I cannot wait!!

Wedding Wednesday

Last weekend, I traveled down to Morehead City for a culinary bridal weekend in honor of my sweet friend, Jenn. She is getting married in May and we had the best time showering her with kitchen themed gifts and even having a private chef to the cottage on Saturday to whip up a few of his favorites! 

Friday evening was low key with lots of great wine and laughter. We whipped up some incredible recipes that I still find myself thinking about. Warning: This post is loaded with delicious food photos :) 



Saturday morning we woke up to mimosas and a local chef ready to feed us a few amazing different dishes!



It was so much fun to celebrate and I am so excited for all of the other festivities this Spring! I am happy to say that Austin survived his bachelor party last weekend with minimal emotional scarring :) and I cannot wait for mine in 2 short weeks!  This weekend, Austin and I are headed home to the coast for a slew of wedding appointments, a dress fitting, a party in our honor on Saturday night and my second bridal shower on Sunday. 

Have a great week!

Celebrations

champagne with rock candy sticks

There are so many things to celebrate today! First, its March, I get married next month. WHEN did that happen??! Yesterday, I received a job offer I have been keeping my fingers and toes crossed for over two weeks. I start Monday and cannot even wait! I am also leaving today for a girls weekend in Morehead City to celebrate another bride to be! A sweet friend of mine is getting married in May and I cannot wait to celebrate with close friends all weekend long!

Needless to say, there will be plenty of celebratory cocktails making their rounds this weekend.

Happy Friday!
