So here is the first official sneak peak. Ready? Here you go . . .
So I don't think I have an official wedding color. I'm kind of working with a few but yellow is my favorite color and I always knew I had to have lots and lots of it! None of the bridesmaids were very excited about wearing yellow, and since I remember how crappy being stuck in an ugly orange dress felt like (thanks again Melanie. No, really, thanks!), I decided to go in another direction there. However, I was super excited when my soon-to-be nieces Cloe and Claudia told me that they love it, so yellow flower girl dresses it is!
The perk about not having any friends with daughters who are walking yet is that I was able to choose 12 year old flower girls which allowed me to pick some gorgeous, more grown-up dresses. Seriously, they are amazing! I want one!! We got them from New York & Co. and they were a steal!
The rest of their visit was a blast! Lots of shopping and eating and getting the tour of all the fun spots where Matthew and Megan used to hang out at as kids.
Me and the girls posing at Santana Row.
I went to visit the paper store at Santana Row and realized it was called The Paper Source. I had no idea Paper Source was a real store!!! That's where I bought the envelopes and labels for the Save the Dates but I had ordered them online. I walked in and was surrounded by all the wonderful papers, envelopes and stamps that I have been obsessing over for the last few months! I was in heaven!! I'm planning on doing the invitations myself, so it was so great seeing everything up close and in person!! Can't wait to go back!!!
And of course I found time to do some cooking when they were here. I got one of those angel food bundt cake thingys from the store, cut it up and made french toast out of it. Then I reassembled the cake and topped it with maple syrup, strawberries and whipped cream. It tasted more like dessert than breakfast! No worries, we burned it off shopping!! Get the recipe for French Toasted Angel Food Cake here! I found it on Pinterest of course!
We rushed home from shopping to help Megan and the girls get ready for an anniversary party of some family friends. Can you believe the girls are only 12!! I curled Cloe's hair for her, so much easier to curl someone else's hair than your own! I hope I have girls someday, it was so much fun!
I love my new family!!!!
