Goodbye summer

Saying goodbye to summer this year is a little harder than normal we have so many great memories. I have enjoyed our first 3 months of being engaged, wow time really has flown. Only eight more months until Ill be Mrs. Lindsey!!!!

Right now Chad and I are on a family vacation with my mom, dad and brother oh and of course Bella. Its bellas first trip to the beach and lets just say she isnt enjoying it like I had hoped she would. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Her first time to the ocean

We are enjoying the last bit of summer and tonight we celebrated Bellas 1st Birthday!!!! I realize Im obsessed with my dog....

what did I get her......


An alabama dress I cant wait for her to wear it on Saturday

So if I had 2 grand sitting around I would so buy this dress to leave the wedding in... I think the feathers at the bottom are adorable!!!

Im still looking for bridesmaid dresses, J.Crew has some really cute ideas!! This dress comes in 5 different styles (which I like) and in the Cypress Green that I heart so much!!!

still looking because these are a little pricey and I wanted long dresses for the girls.... let me know what you think?!?! good or bad

This is a short blog because I have to work 16 hours tomorrow... Maybe Ill have some better ideas after the weekend and more endless hours of blogging (my new favorite thing to do)

So many decisions....

Decisions... Decisions...
So I found this random picture on the internet awhile back and now Im starting to really like the color idea of the deep purple and the apple green! Im going to try to stick with this color theme for atleast a week without changing my mind again...

I just love the colors...

Oh and these...

Rachael and I went to look at bridesmaid dresses on friday, I had no clue how difficult of a task this was going to be. Bella Couture had some adorable dresses but Im having a hard time picking out exactly what color I want to use.

I have spent hours this past week looking at thousands of blogs, I came across this one picture that is kinda random but the dresses on the girls are adorable. I wish I knew where they came from!!!!

I found this picture from Green Wedding Shoes which by the way is my favorite blog right now!!

The dresses came from Rose and Ruby.

Are these not THE cutest shoes?!?! I keep seeing them on different blogs so I have no clue where they came from but I would love to wear these down the aisle....

Here is the dress I got for our engagment pictures .... I think it will be adorable with a big brown belt and some boots.

So while Im trying to decide on the color theme, the flowers , the bridesmaid dresses and shoes. I still have invitations to pick out, but I think I have my cake picked out!!!
So many decisions......

So indecisive

Today was my planning session with my "florist" ha ha Kim Swafford has been one of my moms really close friends for many years. She has volunteered to help take on the what I think is a large task for the flowers for our wedding!!!
We visited with Brenda and Kim at Gabrella Manor to find out exactly what we could and could not do on the property. No sparklers :( We walked all over the house and ground looking at different parts of the house and deciding where exactly we should add extra flowers. The house already has so much character it really doesn't need much. Just a little bit of a Leah touch. Which I don't know what that is right now :)

Im having a really hard time nailing down exactly what colors I want to use I keep going back and forth right now I'm set on deep purple and apple green but I'm sure that will change with the next magazine I get and the next set of flowers and colors I see. If anyone knows me well they know that I can never make a decision, it can be on anything from a place to eat to what color I want my bouquet to be for my wedding day.... so many decision ahead of me.
This is the exact location of the wedding where we will say our vows which by the way IS the most important part of this entire wedding. So I can relax because I have that down pat I just don't have down the colors of the wedding ha ha.... my next blog later tonight will have some picture of some things I need to start making some decisions on....
