Work OOTD

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all having a fabulous week.  I've been watching the Olympics till midnight, and waking up early for work.  But it's totally been worth it!  The USA women's gymnastics team was amazing!!

Here is my work outfit of the day!  I absolutely love my Parker wrap dress.  I got this dress on sale at Saks awhile back and have worn it numerous of times.  I think the print I have is sold out, but you can get a similar dress below.  I paired the dress with my cute Missoni for Target heels. I've also been rocking the side braid. since my bangs have gotten way to long!!

More Parker...

XOXO,

Flowergirls!

I've been thinking of ways to cut down costs for me and my FI's wedding.  It seems like you never really understand how expensive a wedding is..until you have to plan your own!  I was slightly surprised how expensive flowers were..so my florist suggested that I purchase fake silk flower balls for my two flowergirls. Something they could keep after the wedding, and..it would only cost me around $20.

This is an option that I found on Etsy, which I thought was super adorable, they even have elegant crystals on them!  The seller has these in several different colors.  I'm thinking of getting mine with a ivory ribbon on it, instead of pink.

Details Details Details!!

Lets be real, wedding planning is super overwhelming  Nowadays, it seems like the details are EVERYTHING.  The first thing my bridesmaids asked me was..what are your colors?  I remember thinking..colors?  Hmm I don't know..I want to keep it neutral.  And then my bridesmaid said..neutral..there are a lot of neutral colors.  When I met up with my wedding planner she had me narrow down my choices of "neutral" colors to three.  I chose two accent colors (gold and ivory) and one main color ( blush).

I'm using gold chivari chairs as an accent, ivory table linens..and my flowers and lighting will be in blush.  I'm going for a romantic and warm feel.

Here are a few inspiration pictures that I am loving!
