Going backwards just a bit from my last post about the wedding plans:
This is such a fun idea! Meckennas sweet guy, Zach, arranged for a secret photographer to capture the proposal. (Que butterflies in the tummy and a few “ohhh”s.) Check out these cute shots, Meckenna didn’t know they were being followed….

Aren’t these two cute? Secret Photographer! So sweet and romantic and fun!
My gorgeous little sister got engaged about a month ago! I’m so excited for all that this entails; a fabulous new addition to our family, life-long love and happiness for my sister….and lots of fun planning for the wedding and reception festivities! Being the list-maker that I am, I have created a 3 ring binder filled with lists. “To do” lists, timeline lists, idea lists, candy lists, stuff we have lists, stuff we want lists, budget lists…..oh the lists! Rather than taking pictures of the list (heartbreaking right?) I put together this little teaser board with some basics we’ve got going.
Color scheme: Gray, yellow, and teal; best colors ever probably : ) She wants vintage, shabby chic all around (so up my alley-we’re totally sisters!) We’re doing old crates, old windows, pearls, lace, burlap, barn, awesome old trucks, all things vintage and shabby. We have access to the truck you see just the tail end of- and it’s the most awesome old truck in the world! Color, shape, amount of oldness, seriously best truck ever! I’ve got dibs to buy it if my neighbors son ever goes to sell. I could probably become the most demanded photographer in the whole state just because of my prop truck……
Basically, I probably have an unhealthy obsession with it; but fortunately so does my sister; and so it’s going to have a place at the reception! Needless to say, this is pretty fun stuff for me, playing wedding planner and designer and all : )
I’ll keep you posted as we move things along!
Do you ever collect stuff from outside just because it’s fun? Remember as a kid we would pick dandelions or the newly bloomed tulips and give them to our mom? Now my girls do that for me : ) I have managed to pass along my insatiable desire to take rocks and pine cones even though we have enough! In this case, I used fun sticks!
I used plastic Easter eggs that have 2 holes in the top to tie some string through the egg.
Then I put those floral skills to use and arranged the sticks to my liking! Simply hang the eggs on the branches. This would be fun on a smaller scale too. Easy, cheap Easter centerpiece!
