Something big happened during my wedding week…something bigger than a rehearsal dinner, bigger than a bachelorette spa day, bigger than getting my favorite peonies for the bouquets…
my best friend and bridesmaid Lisa got engaged!
Now, not only did she get engaged…she also managed to hide it from me for roughly 20 hours until I realized something was up and dragged it out of her. Just goes to show what a great friend she is–she didn’t want to distract from the wedding at hand. I’m SO glad she ended up telling me, though…it made my week that much more special and I’ve never been happier!
Lisa’s favorite color is yellow, just like her bright, sunny, cheerful, sweet personality…so I thought I’d create an inspiration board for her wedding that fits right in with her bubbly-ness!

Yellow is such a fun, upbeat color, especially for such amazing and laid-back folks as Lisa and her now-fiance Eric.
I can totally see them using lots of Billy Buttons, the groomsmen in seersucker suits, Lisa in beautiful yellow flats, and the lovely couple driving away in a classic yellow car!
Lisa, if you’re reading this…you’d better let me help you plan your wedding! ;)
Much love,

Can you pretty, pretty, pretty please email, or reply comment me a link to that wedding dress? I’m doing that crazy bride-to-be thing where I’m salivating over a dress and dying to find it :)
Oh dear, Kaitlyn…I hate to break your heart, but it’s the J Crew “Daphne” dress… much coveted and adored, but alas, DISCONTINUED! You can try searching on eBay; every once in a while someone will put one up, but they are rare. Your best bet would be to have someone do a replica for you!

I truly think you should take your MBA and create a business. You are truly so talented! *bookmarked* xoxo
Oh.. is it ever coveted. Is it ever! Thanks for the info though :)
Beautiful board! Thank you for mentioning Tulaloo!
