The Bubble Necklace

It finally arrived...my J.Crew Bubble Necklace!












Although I had been eyeballing this beauty for quite some time, I just couldn't bring myself to spend $150 on a necklace. However,at $15 {including shipping} I just couldn't pass it up on eBay {at 90% off}. So,I finally took the plunge after Natasha, Katie, Amanda, Julie, April, and lots of other bloggers successfully received theirs from China!



I absolutely LOVE it!

B+P Farm Wedding

Last weekend, my favorite couple, Brynn and Palmer, tied the knot at The Farm in Asheville, NC. Thank goodness Brynn picked bridesmaids dresses with pockets because I definitely needed my tissues during the ceremony. From the bridal luncheon and rehearsal dinner, to the ceremony and reception, the entire weekend was perfect!
The venue was absolutely breathtaking.
There were several cabins on the property for guests to stay in for the weekend, one of which was reserved for the bridesmaids! It was so nice to walk right out to the ceremony/reception after getting ready all day together.
Our cabin balcony!
 Brynn and Palmer exchanged sweet letters to one another before the ceremony. It was such a sweet moment.
 We all couldn't stop taking pictures of Brynn after she got into her dress. She truly was the most perfect bride ever.
Check out the bouquets! They were full of soft peonies, garden roses, lambs ear, ranunculus, hydrangeas and more.
Time for the ceremony...
 beautiful, right?!
MARRIED!
Time to party!
During cocktail hour, guests picked up their seating card from a well decorated birdcage. Since I love to tackle projects like this {and Brynn likes my penmanship} I was designated to write all the wedding place cards.
My handsome wedding date!

 
First dance as Mr. & Mrs.
 
 The tent was decked out in flowers and lights.  

 For a year, Brynn's mom collected china for the wedding. There were so many different pieces and it truly made the place-settings so special.

 The head table was stunning! Brynn and her mom successfully collected vintage china for over a year in preparation for the wedding day meal!
Not only was the cake so pretty, but it was delicious. Yes, those peonies are real!
The rest of the evening was spent dancing barefoot to an amazing band, feeding the horses outside the barn, tossing the bouquet, drinking Firefly lemonades on the porch, a Kappa Delta candlelight and late night pizza...
I think the pictures speak for themselves but this was one of the most fun weddings I've ever been to.
 
Guests picked up lace ribbon wands for the sendoff
...and the newlyweds are off to their honeymoon in Anguilla! Love you two!
