Behind the Veil: Community Florist
Picking your wedding flowers is no easy task. First, there's Pinterest to blame. Over-the-top displays can give you unrealistic expectations about what most weddings really look like and what flowers actually cost. But, it's also a good thing, too. I put together a wedding flower inspiration Pinterest board and with that and a million other photos saved on my iPad, met with the owner of Community Florist, Shelli Walker. We walked around my venue, the Montelucia Resort & Spa (which was ... View the Post
DIY Spice Rub Wedding Favor
For our wedding, I almost didn't bother with a wedding favor. I hated the idea of spending money and time making something that people would toss on their way out.

And so. much. food. And a bubbly bar too! ... View the Post

Now, I've said it before: I am not ... View the Post
30 Things
I'm turning 30. There. I said it. Now you all know the truth. There's something about entering a new decade, especially one as daunting as 30 (ack!) that makes every single nerve in your body start to panic. I'm 1/3 of the way done with my life. I still need to do X,Y,Z. I didn't get A, B and C done. I'm not pretty enough. Skinny enough. Successful enough. My life is running away from me! Says this little evil voice in the back of most women's heads and seems to come to a ROAR when birthdays ... View the Post
