Engagement Pictures Part 2

My excitement for our engagement pictures still hasn't calmed down! So glad we finally have some decent pictures together.

Engagement Pictures!

So it only took us a solid year to get our engagement pictures taken. Totally normal. The incredible, amazing, wonderful ladies of the VUE did a fantastic job! We are so pumped that they shot our engagement session! Thank you so much Genya & Wesleyann!

Here are a couple of my faves..

Feeling crafty.. and I like it.

Stopped by my favorite and my Sailor's least favorite store yesterday, good 'ol Hobby Lobby! Picked up a $3 twig wreath, some faux leaves and this Happy Thanksgiving sign for half off. I love how everything is always on sale there. A hot glue gun, some wire and a couple of Glee episodes later, this was my creation.. It makes me love our front door so!

The Bucket List: Men v. Athens' Food

So before my Sailor and I get hitched and move away from God's country, better known as Athens, Ga., we have decided to embark upon a great journey, a journey that is not meant for the faint of stomach. With one semester left, we are going head to head with Athens' finest eateries. From the stuff that made Italy famous to the down home cookin' of Athens natives, we are attempting to taste it all!

Our first stop was a local pizza place that we've probably driven past 500 times without noticing. And let me just tell you how much I regret my oversight. Mama Sid's should be in every UGA students list of go to food joints. It's cheap and delicious and all-you-can-eat. Need I say more?



These are called "dough nuggets". Not so much on the diet, but oh so much on the bucket list. Every UGA senior must go to Mama Sid's immediately.

Today and everyday in the Classic City, Athens' food wins.

My plates have arrived!

My vintage US Navy plates from Etsy were waiting on my doorstep when we came home this weekend! I am already imagining dinner parties! :)




I may be a huge nerd, but the fact that these plates were actually created for the midshipmen of the US Navy to eat on during during WWII is just SO cool to me.

Inspiration Board Evolution

While organizing all of my wedding files, I came across my first two inspiration boards that I made over a year ago. It all started with peacocks, extravagant decor and typical beach inspiration...



While I still love these inspiration boards, they just aren't our style. Now, a year later, we are here...



Vintage, eclectic, romantic, nautical. What a difference a year makes!

Terra Cotta + Blue

I'm really loving terra cotta & blue combos right now. Probably because it reminds me of our wedding designs. I never thought of the accent color as "terra cotta", but it's not orange and it's not tan.. it's in between. Really it's terra cotta.




And the terra cotta + navy combos I found on coco+kelley are really just spot on perect. Absolutely perfect.
