farewell pinwheels


This is another DIY project, from Once Wed, that I might have to add to our list of things to do. I love the idea of pinwheels spinning as we're making our get-away.

MOOOOO

I am new to the MOO world and have fallen for the moo mini cards. I especially like the new frames. It's a must purchase for after the wedding (I hope).

the shoes

I've finally decided on a pair of shoes! and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with zappos. I placed this order yesterday at 10:40 PM and they arrived at my doorstep today at 4 PM. Aren't they cute?

jewelry



I've been working on ideas for my jewelry and have decided to crochet my necklace and bracelet. I've patiently been waiting for the arrival of my sterling silver and white agate, which came today! So of course I had to get to work right away.

baby seedlings!!

On Sunday I planted one of my lovely hearts and today I woke up to find this....
They worked!! I'm so excited! I wonder how long my little hearts will last, will they still germinate come April...

centerpieces!!

When I first saw these on Once Wed, I knew I had to make them. I love love LOVE this idea for a centerpiece (but I think I kind of love the ribbon even more). I was so stoked to give it a shot. After many unsuccessful trials of trying to find the little cube vases, we settled on small 1.5 ounce jars. Slowly the idea has evolved into something slightly different from my first inspiration. We decided to go with a gerber daisy too ♥
[the ribbon isn't quite as snazzy either]

[but i'm slowly growing fond of them]
We'll probably be tweaking a few things, but generally we're pleased with the idea (and just ignore all the clutter in the background).

lighting

I've always been a huge fan of the globe lanterns. We initially thought we would hang them in the pavilion, but my m.o.h. was browsing Martha's website again and came upon this lovely idea. It incorporates the things I love, but uniquely puts them together in columns. I think we might give this a shot and use flower pots as our base. Thanks to the best m.o.h. EVER!

our final venue choice

After what seemed like months of researching, we finally found a venue that fit what we were looking for - something simple. Our venue is in Vinings at the Old Pace House and Pavilion. We're really excited about the potential of this venue with all of our decoration ideas.

meet logan and tim

I guess it's about time I share a little information about Tim, my fiance, and I. Tim is originally from the lovely town of Lenoir, NC. I, on the other hand, am a home grown Georgia Peach. Both of us attended Appalachian State University in the lovely town of Boone, NC. He graduated in 2001 with a degree in industrial drafting and design, while I graduated in 2006 with a degree in mathematics. We met the night before my graduation through a mutual friend and have been inseparable since, except for the fact that he lived in Savannah for the first six months of our relationship. At the time, he was attending SCAD, working on his Masters of Architecture.

Now Tim works for an architect in Buckhead and I work at the CDC in the Strep Lab.

We both enjoy watching the Braves (especially when they're winning), cooking, DIY projects, and spoiling our puppy Charlie.
