Last weekend, we attended the Destin wedding of friends Brandi and Nate. Those two weren't afraid to tempt Mother Nature--with Ike threatening Florida's Gulf Coast--and they succeeded in the end. They used the shell painted by Brandi's mother as their motif, and I loved her choice of orange on the beach. Trey threw in his Nantucket Reds for some more color, and we all drank hurricanes and had a blast.
I have enjoyed watching this year's Olympics so much, I'm probably going to go through a bit of a withdrawal this week. My best friend Heather and I won gold (she probably won for best hair) at our friend Olivia's birthday party many years ago.
Floral design, to me, is akin to magic. I'm always amazed at how flowers in buckets turn into works of art. My dear friend Kristin is one of those magicians. I think I've talked her into starting her own blog, soI'll keep you posted. In the meantime, if you need "fresh flowers or container gardens," give her a call.
The wedding, it was perfect and beautiful. And nothing beats a bunch of thirtysomething bridesmaids on stage with the band.
A few more pictures from Brad and Sarah's wedding. Please note the unbelievable sushi. Maybe they are enjoying some more of that right now in Hawaii.
