A Case of The Mondays...

Hey y'all!

I hope your weekend was amazing!  Mine was pretty great!

I attended the wedding of some college friends at our alma mater! :)  I love being back on campus!  It's small and so beautiful! So many of the people I went to college with chose to get married on the campus they met at, or at least get pictures taken there.  One thing I will say about the majority of us is that we love Kentucky Wesleyan College.  I know that I wanted to take pictures at KWC because I wanted to remember where I met the man I'd spend the rest of my life with.  It's so amazing to see so many people want to do the same!

Ohhh, sappy stuff about campus aside, the bride was stunning and happy as can be!

Don't mind the dollar bills, we stopped her in the middle of her dollar dance to get a picture!! ;) Look how excited she is! Also, look how pretty my friends are! :)
I just love weddings!

Of course I HAD to get a new dress for the occasion.  But I always need a new dress. Ha! And I wasn't sure what I wanted to get.  I LOVE shift dresses and actually went out shopping with the intention of buying one.  I had the one I wanted in mind when I walked into the boutique, and instead left with the Everly dress in the picture. I was hesitant about it because it was sleeveless and though this fall hasn't really been a cool one, I wasn't really sure I wanted to roll the dice.  And guess what, it was VERY cool that day, and windy. So windy.  I decided to pull out a blazer to add a pop of color and to keep me warm!

I would end this one as a short and sweet post, but I want to take a moment to highlight something else that happened to me this weekend.  I ordered a photo book that I had designed on Shutterfly.com.  I've ordered from their site several times and always loved the way they turn out.  This was an exception, however, because when I received it, the pages were coming out of the book!  I was heartbroken, it was a little disappointing to see, because I have been such a fan.  I contacted customer service yesterday, hoping to hear something within the next few days, and I got an email back in 30 minutes.  They had already rush shipped a replacement! How great is that?!  My faith is restored in the company!  I have been in contact with other companies' customer service departments and I hardly ever am this satisfied with the result!

One last thing...... I got an email about my Birchbox shipping.  Very pumped about this news!! :)

See y'all soon!

XOXO.

Weekend Catch-Up

Here I am again!  3 days in a row....I could get used to this! :)  

So because I don't have any new clothing or makeup reviews (if you'd like to comment on things you'd like reviewed I would GLADLY test things out for ya!), I decided to do a little flashback to this weekend's wedding festivities and the shower I helped set up for the bride last month.

Not using this site for the last 6 months means that a lot of the things I did were not talked about!  I'm going to try to catch up as best I can, so just deal with it! Ha ha! ;)  I hope it won't be too boring!!

Bridal Shower

When my husband and I were married almost 3 years ago (Woah!), his godmother gave us a wedding shower.  So when his cousin got engaged, his mother informed me she would be giving his bride-to-be a shower and of course, I volunteered to help! :)

The happy couple are so sweet!  They are outdoorsy so we wanted it to have a rustic feel!  I definitely think we succeeded.  It was beautiful!  We didn't play many games, "Who has the groom?".  We just passed out envelopes with pictures in them, and whoever had the picture of the groom won a little gift.  The other was a mason jar full of Hershey's Kisses and we had the guests guess how many were in the jar.  A couple easy games that didn't take a lot of time before we got to the presents! :)

Homemade Sugar Scrub Party Favors!

Hubby's Aunt made the silhouettes! Beautiful!

Cupcake dress :)

Myself & the bride-to-be!

I am thankful that my mother-in-law asked for my help, I love decorating for parties, and cooking and all that jazz.  Such a good time!  It was a successful little get together and I believe the bride loved her gifts!

The Wedding!

The happy couple exchanged vows & their first kiss this past weekend.  It was a beautiful ceremony in a GORGEOUS church! 

The First Kiss! 

It was such a fun night with family and friends!  I love weddings because you get to spend such a happy event with the people that you love the most!  I hope the night was so memorable for these two and that their lives together are filled with nothing but happiness! :)

Also, my dress for the wedding was from ShopSosie.com.  I am loving that site! It's a shift dress, which I love!  It is a perfect dress for fall.  It's the Middleway Shift Dress in the color Olive.  The original cost of the dress was $45, but because I purchased it during a sale, I got $5 off.  

I was a little worried about it being too short, but being 5'2 does have some advantages, and though it may look a little short in the picture, it actually was a great length!  I did have a little issue with getting the wrinkles out of the dress, but after I hand washed it and hung it outside to dry, they came right out!!  I'd definitely check the site out, they have some amazing deals and their clothes are adorable! 

See you soon!

XOXO.
