Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, we have the day off today. Whoever said hurricanes in autumn were a bad thing anyway ;)

Here are this week's top 5:

1. Tried a new bun!


2. Spent much of our evenings painting the kitchen.


3. Tore apart the kitchen. Today I will be putting it back together!


4. Had my sissy and mom over for the weekend. Future blogger anyone?


5.  Already put this beautiful bridal shower gift to good use. I'll show you where I put it next week!

This weekend we have our final appointment at the farm where we will be getting married. I am excited to finally sit down with the wedding coordinator and finalize everything!

Have a sweet weekend & stay dry if you live close to me!

Bridal Shower Game Ideas

As promised, here are the bridal shower games we played at my Miami Shower.

1. Decorate the wedding cake: Break your guests up into groups and have them decorate a small pound cake. Make sure the bride is in another room so that when she judges, she does not know who decorated what.


2. Bridal bingo: This is a great game when you have a large group, especially if you have some older guests. We used engagement rings as our bingo chips.


3. When's your birthday: Have your guests go around the table and write their name and birthday down. The guest who has a date closest to your wedding date wins.


4. Did someone say wedding: This game will last throughout your entire shower. You start off by giving an "engagement ring" to all of your guests. Every time they hear someone say the word "wedding" they take that persons engagement ring for themselves. At the end of the shower, the person with the most rings wins.


P.S Today marks one month to go!

Miami Style {Bridal Shower} Fashion

When it is time to celebrate your bridal shower, you want to make sure to find a dress that is totally you. Your dress does not need to be white, that's what the wedding is for! At my first shower, I decided to stick with a white classic dress to fit the tea party theme. The dress that I wore to my second shower was purchased over a year ago and saved. Right when I saw this dress, I fell in love with it and knew it had to be worn on a special day.

I decided to stick with flats because
1) I live in Miami and it is a norm to walk around in sandals all day everyday.
2) I wanted to be comfortable all day long and be able to walk around in grace. 


Since my sis came into town for this shower, I decided to let her do my hair since she does excellent braids. I figured why not do something different that will keep the hair out of my eyes?


What do you envision yourself wearing to your bridal shower?

& if you already had a shower, what did you decide to wear?
