Wedding Wednesday:)

Shew ... whoever said planning a wedding is stressful was RIGHT!
Good grief ... 
I always said I would never be the stressed out bride.  I would be the "go with the flow" never crazy or bitchy, just excited and happy ... 
Welllll, that bird has flown the coup friends .. I am officially stressed!  (of course not crazy or bitchy though..yet! ha!)

hahahahaha this is hysterical! Don't fret, this is not me, there are probably only about 3 people in the world I would actually like to punch in the throat, and they have nothing to do with the wedding lol!!  (and no no no I won't name them, I'm not talking bad about people for lent this year ha) 
I think it is all the small little details that I am stressing about (not to mention I have OCD) and then also just getting things done in a timely manner when you work 60 hours a week and try to have a life at the same time, makes things a little more difficult too.  Plus don't even get me started on how expensive all this stuff is!! Who knew forks and tables and bathrooms could add up to be so much? Every time I get on Pinterest I feel like I need to order something else ... Or I make a decision on something and get on Pinterest and see something totally different that I like better! 

hahaha again, hysterical and true. 
Poor Chris... I told him today the wedding is just going to be a total surprise party to him because I tell him something, then change my mind and forgot to tell him the new idea lol ;)  He is so sweet ... he mostly cared about 4 things ... 1. The food  2. The cake  3. Me wearing my hair down and wavy like he likes it ha 4. and just marrying me ... and being happy :)  So sweet, I know, but that is truly what he says and what he cared about, the rest he said he trusts my taste and judgement and I have never picked out anything thus far in our house, clothes, etc that he didn't like. I think he will like everything ... if not .. you know what they say ... 

 I am full of these today, can you tell? hahahaha
In all reality ... I am in love with my wedding dress. It hasn't come in yet, but I look at the pictures of it daily on my phone ha. I just love it.  BUT ... does anybody but me have this feeling ... 

I am TERRIFIED that I will see another dress I like more!!

So I keep trying to skim past them really fast when I am scrolling down Pinterest lol 

We for serious need a filter for this!! ;) 

So today I met with my florist and in all honesty it made me feel so much better!

I am so excited about the flowers and decor ... and wanted to share a sneak peak ... 

Obsessed with these!

Some of the tables will have the tall arrangements with the birch wrapping which I am in love with .. but lots more flowers in them (this was a fake arrangement for sale in there for inside a house) so mine will have more flowers and blush tones with more moss etc! So cute! 

We will have the urns with candles everywhere on some tables ... just kind of to give it some dimension something different with the flowers too :) 

Lots of barnwood like this with cutouts for the candles and then instead of those little green things these will be moss and hydrangeas and blush roses etc! Sooo pretty and elegant :) 

I decided on these for all the guys ... I think they are perfect. Just the perfect touch of elegance yet still a little rustic too ;) Chris's will be a little different I think to make him stand out. 

So all in all today we actually got a lot accomplished and I am super excited about all the flowers, but want to leave some big things with them a secret ... so you'll have to wait on those!! ;) 

I am getting more and more excited ... just need to get all the small stuff knocked out so I can make it to June and then ... 

hahahahaha

killing me today. 

No but really, this is what I am trying to keep in mind:

So true.  Love it. 
Well, that's all the wedding talk I've got for ya today! I am going to share our Save the Date's later this week also .. just need to get a good picture of them! 
PS. Look at this sweet, handsome baby on his walk this week ... just taking in the sunshine and breeze ... 

Love him so much.

Happy Sunday friends :)  This is a long one, I am sorry for being a bad blogger and combining all these into one because I didn't post for a week ha but make it to the end for a special prize!!
I have been a little MIA lately, not by choice, but do to the early Spring Real Estate Market here in Lexington, KY that is BOOMING already!!  Remember the new listing with the professional pics from last post? Well ...

Okay, let's talk Valentine's Day shall we? 

Saw this on Pinterest. 

Loved it. Perfect for Valentine's Day. 

Frankie sent out his Valentine to all his peeps ;) 

I made a little eCard for Chris and shared on his Fbook page early that morning so he would see it when he checked it that morning ;) 

I had my cute little XOXO burlap banner I got from Very Jane and my Happy Everything plate with the Valentine envelope on it!    The kids were here so we had a Valentine's Party and Chris's parents came down to celebrate!
We cooked dinner and played games and opened Vday presents and just had a super fun night! (Chris and I celebrated Friday night, just us, with dinner and such!)
Chris had my two favorite things ready for me before the party ... 

Chocolate Covered Strawberries from Confused Confections Bakehouse and  The Bacon Cheddar Ring from DaRae & Friend's Catering ...  Yyyyuuummmm :)  (so much for the diet!) I had ordered some special cookies for the kiddos ... and they turned out adorable!

How cute is that? They were adorable and the kids LOVED them! 

We opened a few Valentine's presents :) 

And we got some wax lips hahaha

Silly girls ;) 

Pics from Her Knight Dance 

I had been wanting to share a couple of pics from the Father/Daughter Dance at our church that Chris took the girls too last weekend ... I just love that they went and they had so much fun... 

they will remember that first dance for the rest of their lives :) 

I had so much fun getting them all dolled up before their big night!

That is a memory that I will remember the rest of my life ;)

Sooo cute! :) 

They had this at the Keene Barn in Keeneland and it looked from the pics that Chris took that it was just so much fun and such a blessing to be at. :) 

So I tried to find a picture of me and good ole' Dan (my dad ha) just while I was uploading these pics of Chris and the girls .. and I found this little beauty to share with yall .... 

Brace yourself ha 

I mean I laugh outloud every single time I look at this .. .because my dad looked ridiculous. 

I mean what in the world was with the stach and the hair? hahaha too much for me to handle. 

I don't think I was in a smiling mood that day, probably because my mom cut those bangs!! Ha! 

But my outfit was pretty cute ... I can spot a cute outfit a mile away ;) 

Well, now that you got a good laugh ...
