M is for Monogram
While I do have a few preppy tendencies, I wouldn’t consider myself or my style “preppy”. Why then am I tempted (attempting) to monogram everything from beer glasses to bed sheets?
I’ll tell you why, because it’s adorable. Annnnd I might be a little excited about our monogram: PBR.

Way down yonder in New Orleans

My bags are packed! I’m ready to go! It’s hard to believe that I’m heading to New Orleans to celebrate my bachelorette, see sweet friends that I haven’t seen in a long time and get excited about my wedding in exactly THREE MONTHS from tomorrow!

The weekend has already started nicely, my dress was delivered today! I haven’t opened the box yet but I’m so excited.





I hope you have a lovely holiday weekend! I’ll leave you with a little picture of the future Bridewells.

Enjoy your weekend, Darling.
With all the craziness, sadness and unpredictability of our society today, it is evermore important to hold on to what’s real and valuable in our lives.
I hope something makes each and every one of you devastatingly happy this weekend.
I’ll be relaxing, celebrating a dear friend’s upcoming baby girl and continuing to nest in the new place.
My wedding dress comes in next Thursday, then it’s off to New Orleans for my bachelorette celebration with college friends. Don’t we all have so much to look forward to?
Rehearsal Dinner Dress?

I’m seriously considering purchasing this vintage beauty on ebay. Any thoughts?

Too Much for a Rehearsal Dinner Dress?
Moving & Marrying

As of Friday morning (the same day I woke up at 4am to watch the royal wedding) there was nothing packed in either Robert’s or my house. As of today, we are living in the new house. So… a lot went down over the last few days. There was rain, there was 40 degree weather, there were floods and not everything is complete… BUT! we spent the night there last night! I cannot put into words the relief I feel today as I think about my new home with the guy I love and our little doggies. More to come about decorating and the like…

I hope you had a good weekend!
The Princess

Ok…I have royal wedding fever just like everyone else. I’m not sure I’ll wake at 3am to watch Guiliana’s E coverage but I’m still excited. I can’t wait to see what she’ll wear!! Everyone waits with breath that is baited. I heard that everyone in the UK gets Thursday and Friday off, duh. Kate Middleton looks gorgeous – here are a few more shots of her for your viewing pleasure.

My Wedding Inspirations

Today is April 27th. That means our wedding is exactly four months away. I hyperventilated a bit when I realized. In honor of that and of the royal wedding (of course) I thought I’d share some of my wedding inspirations. If Kate Middleton forsakes Queen Victoria’s jewels for flowers in her hair I will never forgive her.
anything vintage or meaningful

a jewel-encrusted gown

a stunningly simple setting for the ceremony

shoes that sparkle

a ranunculus boutonnière

on a classic tux

sneaks at the reception
all the girls in light, feminine hues

flowers in her hair

honeymoons in far off places

a little new orleans flavor

Bridal Inspiration {Invitations}

Have you heard of Minted? It’s only my favorite stationary shop online. What do you think about doing an ultra-modern invitation? I feel like I want something modern and “us” or just very traditional – beautiful paper and script. What do you think?
