The Masters!

Last weekend we were lucky enough to go to The Masters! Boy was it ever fun! My grandparents are so sweet to share their badges and let us join them for a day at Augusta National. Electronics aren't allowed inside the gates, so we snapped a picture in the parking lot before going in.

Brince and I attended the final round of The Masters together two years ago when Bubba Watson won his first green jacket. We were just a madly-in-love, dating couple then - Wow how time flies! Then, we got to see him win his 2nd jacket on Sunday! Even his wife was not in attendance the first time, so I'm pretty sure we're the lucky charm! ;)

(that's Adam, my cousin Russ's friend, in the truck that photobombed our photo...well played!)

We had a great weekend around home celebrating Easter with our families. Hope you all had a lovely weekend too!

Pretty in Pink

I'm still swooning over this perfectly pink palette from the wedding flowers we did last weekend, brought to you by the James Farmer Inc. team. I mean, doesn't this just scream "hello Spring!?"

I go weak in the knees for a pretty peony.

This was a show stopper in the church foyer.

And this gorgeous bride's bouquet! Hopefully I'll get better pictures soon, but this was a working shot.

And a peek of the sanctuary, adorned with urns filled with luscious arrangements and a lantern lit aisle for the special bride! Always an honor to play a role in someone's perfect day!

{Nailed or Failed} : A Cast Iron Cake

For our wedding, my husband didn't care too much for the standard "groom's cake." The challenge of picking a theme or concept for a cake that represented him in his entirety was a bit... overwhelming. So, we decided to take an unconventional route and serve a Groom's Dessert - peach cobbler with ice cream! Yum!

For the dessert display, I wanted a presentation that stood out. I had seen this precious imitation "cake" made from iron Dutch ovens on Pinterest. I just had to have this for my wedding! I shared the image and concept with my wedding design associates (a.k.a my mom and dad), and we went on a county wide hunt for cast iron Dutch ovens!

Although we didn't have much luck for Dutch ovens, my Dad found lots of iron cookware in my Gran's old log cabin. Score! By playing with the sizes, we built a tiered stack for the display. We cut eucalyptus from my parent's yard and added some fresh peaches courtesy of the Ellis Family (Ellis Bros. Pecans). 

Check out the finished product! I love how it turned out - but, what do you think??
