Engagement Pictures

October is finally here. And you know what that means. OK, so you probably DON'T know what that means, so I will tell you ;-) We are getting our engagement pictures done!! This Saturday as a matter of fact. We decided a long time ago that we wanted to have them done in the fall, outside, so that we could capture the beauty of all the colors. There is a park very close to where we lived called Hills & Dales and its soooo pretty there. They have a beautiful little pond with a bridge, walking trails, and of course, tons of trees. The last time we were there, there was another couple there getting their engagement pictures done and it was kinda nice to sit back and watch, knowing that would be us in a few months :)

Our photographer, Debbie Leclere, included this engagement picture shoot as part of our wedding package. This of course will be our first time working with her and I am really excited. She is such a sweet lady, and very talented. I cant wait to see how the pictures turn out! I am using one of our engagement pictures to make our Save the Date magnets with, so once we get the images back from her, I will be a busy little bee putting those together.

Actually, this coming weekend is a very busy one for us. Not only do we have our engagement pictures on Saturday, but we also have our annual fall cocktail party to get ready for. Ahhhh.....I love this time of year :)

The "B" Bling

I have been eyeing some pretty beautiful cake toppers for a while now. I knew that I had plenty of time before I had to settle on one and place the order, but I have just been obsessed with finding the perfect one.

I found several online that were gorgeous, with an equally gorgeous price tag of course. I was not willing to spend an arm and a leg on something such as the cake topper, so I kept searching. It has finally paid off :-)

I love bling. No, I mean I REALLY love bling. Especially for weddings. Where else can you be over the top with shiny bling and get away with it??? ;-) So it is no surprise, that I have chosen a beautiful bling "B" cake topper for our wedding cake. I ordered it Monday and can't wait to get it. Its a fancy, swirly, sparkly, B. In the words of my good friend Sara, "Shiny! It looks like you!" LOL!!
