Vanessa and Michael's Wedding

Wedding season is practically my favorite. Weddings are so amazing and I love to see how other people put them together while I plan my own - So here's a little update on my favorite parts of Michael and Vanessa's wedding last weekend....

My all time favorite part of Vanessa's wedding were those two smiles right there!! They were so happy - both smiling from ear to ear! I hope that my Michael looks that happy on our wedding day - which I'm sure he will right? :)

Another thing I loved at Vanessa's wedding was the weather - too bad you can't predict or depend on sunshine around here. It was so beautiful that day - the most perfect weather for a wedding, not too HOT but sunny as can be. I can only hope and pray for weather like they had on our big day - fingers crossed!!!

Another thing I loved about Vanessa's wedding was her gorgeous dress!!! Isn't that the most beautiful back of a dress you've ever seen??? I wish I find a dress that looks as stunning on me as this dress looked on her. (picture of the front of dress later down this page)

Vanessa and Michael got married at Kensington Gardens in Gig Harbor. The venue was soo beautiful!!! Very intimate and romantic. The ceremony and reception was at the same location and I loved that. I'm glad that we decided to have our ceremony and reception together too!

Flower girls and Ring Bearers are ALWAYS my favorite. Look at these adorabbbble little kids in their gorgeous/handsome outfits.

SOO incredibly cute right???

If only I could talk about everything I loved about Vanessa's wedding - but if I did this blog would be way too long for anyone to read. But last but not least I love VANESSA KESSELER! :)


Look how absolutely adorable both of the people I'm pictured with in this picture. Jordan and her adorable baby bump and the absolutely stunningly gorgeous Mrs. Kesseler!


3 more weddings to come this summer and I'm sure I will have to feature some of my favorite parts of each of them on here! :)

The best part about everyone I know getting married right now is I get to reminisce about my own wedding while I enjoy theirs! :)

392 Days Until I'm a Mrs.

With everyone else's weddings being the focus of life right now I can't help but feel a mild hint of jealous that it isn't my turn yet! I know I will be thankful in the end when I have had ample time for invitation making, flower planning, and program perfecting but until then... I just sit here - look at pictures of other yellow weddings and create my own vision.

I have created the way I am going to ask my bridesmaids to be bridesmaids and it is sooo me it isn't even funny so I can not wait to show them all!! I even got big huge yellow bows on clearance today at Target and I was so excited I showed everyone at work :).

With all these weddings happening around me this summer, wedding talk has been very common in our [town]household. It amazes me how simple men think. Michael is mostly concerned about being certain that he will get to have suspenders with this tux! He thought they were the coolest things ever at Mike and Kristin's wedding and he couldn't imagine wearing a tux without them ever again. If only my biggest wedding worry was whether or not I got to wear suspenders at my wedding. Bless men and their simple simple thoughts.

I am fully aware that 392 days will be here before I know it but until then I am going to feel like it is FOREVER far away and pout a little that it isn't my turn yet.

400 Days

I figured out a fun and VERY Allie way to ask my bridesmaids to be my bridesmaids!! I am super excited about it - they have already been made and I'm just waiting to add the final touches and then it will be PERFECT.

We have 400 delightfully wonderful days until we get married - That's 59 more Saturdays from now - I really like countdowns!!

Lately I've been looking at wedding flowers A LOT!

These ones make me quite excited but they might be a little bit too big - but Go Big Or Go Home! :)


I do like the combination of the really pretty white flowers in this one but it doesn't feature the sunflowers like I want them to be featured.



Have I ever told you that I LOVE sunflowers??




Last but not least I like these ones too... but they aren't as big and crazy as I imagine my wedding flowers to be.



I guess for now - all I know is that I will probably make my own bouquet's and so I can make them however I please!! :)
