{weddings} summer brights

When Summer comes to mind, I immediately think of bright, cheerful colors.  All colors of the rainbow, in their most vivid shades.  In one last hurrah of Summer weddings, I'm celebrating the bold & pretty colors in Summer weddings!

Each image makes me smile & wish Summer could last forever!

{noteworthy} it's my birthday!

Happy Birthday to me!

I'm popping in from my summer vacation for just one moment to show you the gorgeous, colorful flowers the oh so talented Jen of Jen Kim Creative made for my birthday!  Aren't they just beautiful?  I wish my camera skills did them just a bit more justice.  Four of these beauties are sprinkled around our home in honor of my birthday today & my birthday celebration tomorrow.  The bright, pretty flowers are the perfect way to get this birthday party started!

Carry on, my friends.  Treat yourself to something beautiful or sweet in honor of my birthday!

(Reminder: Regular blogging will not resume until Wednesday, July 17. Thanks!)

{Sneak Peek} Christian & Aaron

Here we are at the first weekend of October.  Wow!  I'm pretty, pretty excited because my hubs & I are taking our annual Autumn trip to the pumpkin farm.  I can't wait to pick out my perfect pumpkin!  But I won't leave you without giving you a little glimpse at next Wedding Wednesday's prettiness:

Yipee, another winter wedding!  With an unexpected color palette & great budget-friendly ideas, you won't want to miss this beauty.  See you next Wedding Wednesday!

Enjoy a beautiful Autumn weekend!
