Party On

Hello Hello! So here’s what’s going on in my neck of the woods- this past week I was asked to move full-time for the next few weeks in order to complete an anxiety curriculum for our Intensive Outpatient program. It needs to be done on Monday (yikes!) but I’ve been able to complete all but one class. In the meantime I’ve been working with Natasha on some wedding details. You’ll be glad to know she’s made some breathtaking decisions. She chose this garter to keep and is buying a cheaper garter to throw. She and Bart have also decided to use a kissing ball for the flower girl, a pillow for the ring-bearer, a vintage style suitcase for the cards and this advice book for the sage advice. It’s really coming together! I’m so excited for their big day, but there’s definitely some more organizational work required and it’s not exactly the kind that’s fun to share- unless you all would like to see schedules and lists. I thought not. OH! Also- we snagged an amazing Groupon for Faboo cakes ...

Getting to the smaller details! Hurrah! I personally didn’t have my husband throw a garter (I didn’t even throw my bouquet! I know- I’m crazy), but it is an age-old tradition that can be hilarious. Whether the groom makes it awkward for people to watch, a 6 year old catches it, or all the single men avoid it like a grenade, it usually holds it’s own in the realm of wedding fanfare. That being said, it doesn’t mean we can’t make it pretty. Right girls? Let’s start with the best of the bargain garters. This beauty comes in at a cool $5 While this one is only $2 more at $7. You can find them as low as $1 a piece, but I guess I’m a bit of a snob? They just don’t seem that appealing to the eye ya know? Further proof I’m a snob- I love this (more expensive) $14 garter . Can you blame me? It’s so romantic looking. I would totally be that bride who saves the cute one and throws the $1 garter. Needing something blue? I love this lace and pearl $18 garter . More of a set fan? Maybe this...
