Where to begin? planning a wedding... that is...

So i am the type of person to get flustered pretty easily and to just say"forget it" when things get to be too much. i wish i wasnt like that but i can already see myself getting flustered with planning a wedding!

i have already set up some appointments to tour some venues this weekend. (ill take some pics and post after the weekend!) Im really not sure if we will be able to make the April time frame i want! i think that is prime wedding season and we only have 7 months! yikes!

I think i like the gazebo style ceremony...and have the reception at the same venue. to me...it seemsso much easier if its all at the same place.

i am leaning towrds a soft pink theme and below are some inspiration pics!

**do you guys have ANY advice on where to begin with a wedding or tips on planning a wedding?! HUGS!

I'm Engaged!


So this weekend was a life changing weekend for me! We went to Austin with two couples (close friends). i actually had a feeling he might propose by the end of the year (we have been together for two and half years)...but never in a million years would i have thought he would do it in front of friends!

I am so so excited...we get to start planning a wedding! i think we are going to shoot for a March/April wedding ;-) heehee.

My ring is gorgeous and the proposal was SO SWEET!!

The guys wanted to cook the girls dinner (steak and potatoes)...so we were excited about that!  we hung out at the pool all day and the girls werent taking showers before dinner...so i didnt either.

Needless to say i sure didnt look my best when he proposed. ;-(

Dinner was served and was delicious...the guys took our dirty plates into the kitchen...came back a few minutes later...each guy carrying a plate covered by a silver platter. they said "we have a little surprise for you girls".

they placed a platter in front of each girl and we uncovered our plate. On MY plate...was written "Will you marry me!?"...i look over at Eric and he was already to one knee! I looked at the plate again and realized what was happening! And of course i said yes!! I start balling...it was very emotional lol!

So... Do YOU guys know of any awesome wedding websites? I will need all the help and tools I can get to start planning a wedding!

Hi there!!

Well I am completely new to blogging but find it so fascinating! I try to live a simple life but it keeps getting busier! (you will notice I use a ton of exclamation points...not sure why...I just love them!) I work a full time job in a small office doing a ton of different things...ranging from payroll to P&Ls to invoicing. I also started two companies... For LOve of a cupcake and Lavish Sweets Boutique! My days keep getting busier! http://www.forloveofacupcake.etsy.com/ and http://www.lavishsweetsboutique.etsy.com/ (use coupon code OFF20 at the Lavish Sweets shop!)

So this is just an introduction of myself and my life! I ramble so bare with me! I have found the love of my life and we have been dating for 2 and a half years (he is my superman! And he is obsessed with superman lol!). I have the sweetest and most spoiled puppy ever!!! I say she is a puppy but she is 3! She is such a ham!

I hope you join me in my journey :) I'm looking to find fashion and will be baking and crafting a ton! My average (and maybe interesting) ramblings of my life!!

Eric and I leave for vacation tomorrow. A MuCh NEEDED vacation! It's only to Austin (a few hours from we currently live but hey... I'm not conplaining! Lol I'll be back to post again after our mini vaca!
