My mom and moh put a ton of time and energy into making everything look just right. My moh shopped for months for vases and other containers. It really made everything look extra special! My …

More and more I’m hearing of brides who have absolutely no desire for a bachelorette party that consists solely of body shots and male dancers, and I have to agree with them. Personally, all I wanted to do was spend some quality time with close friends, sharing laughs and telling stories. This weekend, I attended a bachelorette party. I had …

Today is officially 2 weeks from the wedding! I can’t believe we made it! I have been crazy busy with finals, wedding showers, wedding stuff and packing.  Here are a few things I wanted to share…

Today I received an invitation–to a party for me! It is for my bridal shower, which will be at Crown and Crumpet in San Francisco.

I’m so excited and am so thankful to have such great friends and sisters with great taste …

My mother and sister hosted me a beautiful bridal shower this past weekend at the Peninsula in Chicago. It was a reflection of the hostesses: classy, fashionable and personal.

My niece Lola addressed all the placecards herself with her A+ penmanship.

My sister and mother elected to use candles over flowers, keeping the mood elegant and clean.

Oh man…where did the time go?!  Sorry for my absence…wedding planning and life just sorta took over!!  But alas…I am back and full of fun stuff to tell you about!

First up…MY SHOWER!!

I went back home to Nebraska over President’s Day weekend, and somewhere in the jammed packed schedule I had was my bridal shower!  Two of my fabulous aunts threw …

I won’t be having a traditional bridal shower, instead we’ve requested to have a shower for the both of us together…I think it’s called a Jack and Jill shower? I’m not one to play all the shower games and I haven’t felt comfortable opening up multiple presents in front of lots of people since I was in elementary school. Having …

Then I had two fabulous showers in Brian’s hometown, and then a work …
