luckily we had enough wood tables and vintage chairs to seat everyone.

place settings

bags of lavender as the favor.

my other roommate alex made the lavender sprig name tags

she also took all the photos.

little bow

baby's breath. yesssss.

ribbon bunting. simple and pretty.

tuesday.

good tuesday to you beauties.

i have some news to share. FINALLY picked my shoes. (seriously, i am the worst at making decisions). anyway, the winner is:

yes yes. number 3 is the winner. after taking a trip to nordstrom to see if they were available for trying on, and failing, since they only had the leopard-print i decided to consult the most dependable helper in decision making i know: the mom. after she voted a yes for them, along with my maid of honor, and considering all of the votes it got from you gorgeous ladies, i was unable to deny it any longer: they were meant to be.

they go with my vintage theme and i KNOW i will wear them again. we'll see if they last on my feet the whole night, however. (killer heel, but surprisingly comfortable)

anyway, i seriously cannot thank you all enough for your input.

also, i did a little baking date with some blogger friends of mine who enjoy all things cupcake and i thought i would share it with you. (insert cupcake nirvana here)

coming up: i planned/executed another shower, my beautiful roommate paige's. gotta share some of those photos with you. PLUS- my first "real wedding" to post. :-)

this dress.

i need it. oh gosh. if only i had thought to look up vintage maxi dresses.
