Out and About

We've had such a blissfully exhausting weekend.  My only regret was leaving my good camera at home for the sake of convenience so all my photos are from my phone... boo.

I know posts have been lacking but I've been working on some new exciting projects!

One of them being... starting a business.

My sister in law and I have decided to try our luck at starting our own business.  We both love event planning and she's amazing with flowers.  Yes, we'd love to be bringing in big bucks, but for now we're just enjoying bringing event designs together.  It's sorta scary when you put the two of us together... we just roll ideas after ideas off of each other.  Friends, call me for flowers, wedding planning, graduation parties, retirements, anniversarys, birthdays... we've got some fun ideas cooking!

It seems like we have our first client!  She's a sweet college friend who is tying the knot in October.  Over the weekend we packed up with our bride-to-be and went perusing at the local wholesale flower shops.  I was so excited looking through all the beautiful colors and pulling together mini arrangements.  I even peeked at some ideas for Marlow's upcoming baptism.  Look at these beauties!  I'm going for yellow and blush pink for her baptism colors with some little whimsy accents like doilies and doves.

Back our first client...Her wedding colors are scarlet and deep purple... so gorgeous!  This is the look we'll be going for with flowers.

Her venue is a beautiful local vineyard.  We took a road trip to go visit.  It's so relaxing and tranquil.  Perfection for her intimate elegant wedding.  Tastings in progress here...

Marlow in tow... ha ha!  It is a family business after all.  The hubby tagged along for the road trip.

Of course on road trips you must seek some antiques... my fav!!  I did leave with some pieces I can use for Marlow's baptism... to be revealed soon....

Here's some other goodies I almost snatched up!

Phew... that was just one day.
