Spring Time Off

Normally, Wednesday's are reserved for wedding posts - but this week there are no schedules over here! If you missed checking out our wedding invites and save the dates from early this week - you can see them here and here.

Today I am going to take you through some parts of my week thus far!

{And last but not least, I've been doing what people do best in Miami - soaking up some sun}

Groom & Groomsmen Attire

When it came time to dress our groomsman attire, this task became more daunting that I thought.  Not many bridal magazines or blogs spend time on the grooms/groomsmen suite or tie combinations. This might or might not be why we spent the last 48 hours before our wedding tearing apart every department store in hopes to find 9 of the same ties. Story spoiler- it didn't happen.


Suits: Instead of asking our guys rent tuxedos (too stuffy for our type of day) we found suits from Jos A. Banks and had then purchase it from wherever they lived.  This option really seemed to work for us and came out to be even cheaper than a rental (they got to keep the suit vs having to turn it in).

Ties: In our exhaustion, my hubby and I decided to stick with different ties, all in the same color scheme- which I'm sure no one even noticed.

At the end of the day, it all worked out perfect and blended with the bridesmaid dresses.

Oh yes, and of course- my hubby wanted to surprise me on the day of with his tie (I'll admit, being a detail freak- I was a little nervous about this decision- but absolutely loved his choice in the end!)


Sweet Day! Check back next Wednesday for more of Wedding Wednesday!

Lately

Is anyone else counting down the days until spring break?! Only four more days to go and I'm home free. I am looking forward to a week of coffee, morning shows, house decorating, lunch with my hubby and laying around. Even though it's a lot of nothing, I am so ready for it.

Here's what has been going on around here lately..

Sprucing up the house with organization-new jewelry spot


New Light Fixtures- how cool is this vintage bulb??


 Some homemade pizza nights-check back for the recipe Thursday!!


We can't get enough of this place! - can't wait to show you the new addition over the kitchen table.

 

Oh yeah, and we are dog sitting for my brother/sister in law.  What a roller coaster experience it has been!



How has your week been going? Any Easter weekend plans?

We are heading up to Tampa to stay with my family- We can hardly wait!
