I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! I certainly did! On Saturday morning I got to help throw a bridal shower for my beautiful sister-in-law! The shower was beautiful, and I think that everyone had a great time! Here are some pictures (I will be back tomorrow with a tutorial on how to make the letters)! 

Now we just have to get ready for the wedding! I can't wait!

I had a really hard time picking out a special gift for all of my bridesmaids. I wanted to get them something that was unique and from the heart! I really wanted to make them feel like I had put a lot of thought into it. I had several ideas, but none of them seemed like great ideas. Then I found Elisabeth Ashlie Jewelry! These sisters make some pretty awesome jewelry, and they were able to design these beautiful custom earrings for the girls! 

I really loved these earrings and so did all of my bridesmaids, but I am also in love with some other pieces that they have. 

1. Fae Earrings 2. Crista Earrings 3. Ryley Necklace 4. Claire Earrings

Make sure you check out their Etsy shop for all of there great jewelry! 

Thank you, Kate and Lauren! I could not have found a more perfect gift for my bridesmaids!

I have been up to my eyebrows in wedding planning, but I am enjoying every minute of it. I have carefully selected professionals to make this day spectacular for Dane and I (and our guests!!!) I have learned that it is difficult to start the whole wedding planning process. It seems that there is always one exceptionally big decision to make. For some it is the venue or the dress (or in my case the photographer!) I looked at countless photographers to find the very best one and stick to my budget! I didn't want just any old photographer. I wanted a photographer with a unique, artsy style that would show in my photos! Well, I finally found one, and she is AMAZING!!! I am so excited that Elise Photography is going be taking pictures of my special day! Her style is exactly what I was looking for.

Back in October Dane and I had her take some engagement shots, and she did a wonderful job.

I think I got a few a lot of bug bites from this particular shot, but it was well worth it! This is one of my favorite pictures. My plan is to blow it up and hang it somewhere in the living room.

 Elishia did a fabulous job for our engagement pictures and I cannot wait to see what she does for our wedding! I am counting down the days (52 left)! {b}
