friday's fancies #37 + 3 months!

friday's fancies #37: to be a wedding guest.


this week's friday's fancies theme is ultra fitting, because today marks 3 months until our wedding! below i'll give a little wedding planning update, but for now, let's talk about these dream duds. if i were a guest at a sweet summer wedding, i'd love to don this diane von furstenberg carpreena dress - the peachy sheen is irresistible, & the floral detailing is the perfect nod to the season. this buba mandala clutch would be perfect for toting minimal accessories, while also looking fabulous. in keeping with the peachy theme, i'd choose this astley clarke color symphony pink chalcedony ring for some right hand bling. i can't resist a nars blush, & gilda was the natural choice. to keep this look grounded, i chose a couple of minty-fresh accessories. these mint soft suede court shoes offer a classy pop of color, & these larkspur & hawk haley earrings add a punchy pop - perfect!

- with our wedding now three months away, our main focus is invitations. luckily for me, i have amazingly talented friends, & one of them busted out an awesome design suite for me, including the main invitation, the rsvp card, & the accommodations card. i am so happy with how the designs came out, but the main challenge has been finding a printer. luckily for me again, since jenny is getting married soon (less than one month from now!), she has helped me narrow my choices down. by next week, we will be placing the order & waiting for those babies to come in. i can't wait!

- the girls' bridesmaids dresses came in last weekend, & from what i've seen in the pictures they've sent me, i'm smitten with the style of the dress, as well as the fabric. the issues, however, have been fit & length. many of the girls will be having their dresses shortened, & some of them are having them either taken out or in. they're going to look great, though, & i'm excited about them.

soon i'm going to put together a huge wedding planning post, but today i'll keep it short & sweet.

wednesday - we're moving!
thursday - lindsey's engaged!

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
