Tonight I took a little trip with my bud Katy. We've known each other since our high school days...WHOA. And, now we're both engaged, and excited to plan our upcoming weddings!

We headed downtown to the Sofitel Chicago Watertower Hotel for the Wedding Salon: Luxury Bridal Event. 56 exhibitors were on hand to fill your every bridal need. The night included live music, dancing, tasting portions, makeup touchups, manicures, photobooths, and more...

The highlights of the evening for me were the live music, tasting portions, makeup touchups, Magnolia Photobooth, and beautiful tablescapes. Ladies, checkout this wedding event next time it rolls into town.

O Baby Baby, buh buh Baby

Speaking of children, you should checkout the talented Mimi Campaigne. Mimi is based here in Chicago with a primary focus on her loves: capturing the world through her lens, and family. She's a mama herself to a beautiful baby girl, Louise.

So if you were thinking you need a new family portrait or photos of your children, run don't walk over to mimi's blog.

Happy Friday!

An "OH NO" Moment

So this past weekend we had a "family engagement" party. We thought it'd be nice to have our loved ones meet and actually get to hangout prior to the major wedding festivities. The food was never ending, the weather was great and the sun was shining, drinks were flowing, and everyone was smiling. We had a wonderful party!

The big funny moment of the day was when we were opening gifts. In a sea of crystal, cake stands, and crate and barrel boxes, there was a photo album. My fiance suddenly opens up the photo album and screams, "Ohhh my gosh!!" while dropping the photo album to the floor. I then grabbed the album to find that it was filled with photos from the day I found my wedding dress!!!!

All is well though. We all laughed it off. And, thank goodness the one photo he did see was a close-up shot of mostly just my face.

Have you had an OH NO!! wedding moment???
