sexy lil' leslie

A few weekends back we celebrated one of my best friends, Leslie, at her bachlorette party. 

I offered to host and was super excited to have a house full of girls! 

I wanted it to be fairly "classy" as far as bachelorette parties go...

with a few penis straws thrown in for good measure, of course.

The theme was inspired by this gorgeous Kate Spade china:

Kate Spade New York Ticker Tape

Who wants to buy it for me??

Gold and white with a mix of pink ombre.

Here are a few pictures, I was happy with how everything came together!

Turbo, one who rarely takes notice of the way things looks, walked into to the living room and said, "Wow, if I were a girl I would really love this!" 

The quickly after said "it looks like a bubble gum factory exploded in our living room" to man-up his previous comment.

So since it was Turbo approved, I was pretty certain the girls would love it too.

are you still reading hoping to get a glimpse of the penis straws?

                     

Since, ever so sadly, Turbo ixnayed me purchasing a set of KS china.

 I was forced to get creative. 

I give you: Kate Spade Mandell Urbo New York Ticker champagne flutes 

available for purchase at Niemans not anywhere but right cheer. 

I should also mention that he told me I could not paint the dining room pink to match the party.
Two words for him: Party. Pooper. 

For the record, at least one wall in our home will be painted to match the theme of our first born's first birthday. Go ahead and mark my words right now. 

Love you Les! I was so happy to have you and all your favorite ladies here.

Hope you had a perfect weekend!

Maybe I'll even post pictures of the actual partying that went down some day! 

Some day. Maybe. One thing at a time...

the time i got married (part 2)

As most brides do on the morning of their wedding, I got ready...

Not surprisingly, as I do at every.single. rehearsal dinner I've ever attended...I had a lot of fun the night before our wedding!

Thank gosh for amazing MOH's.  Casey tucked me in all snug in her bed.

I woke up the next morning to her and 6 of my very best friends. We had a little bed party all morning.  It was/is one of my favorite wedding memories! Then it was time to head home for one last little nap with this sweet babe.

After I had successfully rested off a wedding morning hangover exhaustion it was time to get ready for the main event! We got ready at my parents house and Mrs. Brynn Teel's fab sister Stephanie came with a friend to do our hair and make up! Then we headed to the venue to finish getting dressed!

still completely in love with my bridesmaids dresses!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 i didn't feel an ounce of nerves the whole morning but I think these two picture speak for the feelings I must have managed to push to the back of my mind...plus its a little awkward standing there while everyone pulls and tugs at you AND they took my drink away momentarily so I wouldn't spill it!
