Ruffled

I absolutely love the rustic look of burlap paired with the daintiness of lace. I haven't figured out exactly how yet, but I want to incorporate it at my reception in some way. I especially love the burlap table runners, but I'll be having round tables so I'm not sure how that will look. I can't wait to play around with the tablescapes and figure out a way to make them personal and beautiful!

Weekend Recap

Sneak peak at what I've been working on this past week

I had a nice but busy weekend trying on more wedding dresses (although I still haven't found 'the one', boo), hanging out with Kacey, and working on a little DIY project which I can't wait to finish! I also can't wait for this weekend because it means an extra day off work! On our agenda is camping, beer tasting, and general sightseeing as Kace and I take a mini vacation to western Wisconsin. 

Wedding Wednesday - Photography

More exciting decisions! I booked my photographer this week! I'm super excited to say that we'll be having Kelly of Kelly Sweet Photography shoot our wedding.

Her work is so soft and romantic, I can't wait to have her capture our special day. I'm almost giddy with excitement over our choice and I'm so happy we have another big decision checked off our list! We are on a roll! Wedding planning's got nothing on us.

5 Things I Love Right Now

Happy Monday! After a crazy few weeks I had a fantastic weekend relaxing with Kacey and getting to see my best friend who was in town visiting from Iowa. Lately Kace and I have been talking a lot about being content with what we have so I thought it'd be nice to write about a few things that have made me happy recently.

The Daybook (again, because Sydney is just so adorable)

Summer in the midwest has been absolutely insane this year! It's like bloody Monty Python - winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter gave spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn. It was freezing until around the 4th of July and then it became so unbelievably hot and humid that I'm ready to say adios to summer and go to a nice normal season like fall. The nights are starting to cool off and I'm already thinking of cozy sweaters,  tall boots, chunky scarves, and crisp blazers. Also, apparently I have a boot fixation.
