What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I am playing along with Jaime today for What I'm Loving Wednesday! 

Go on over & tell us all what you're loving on this beautiful Wednesday, too!

I am loving that we BOOKED our HONEYMOON! We will be gearing up for Kauai in just 2 short months! I think our 5 month wait will be worth it! :) 

**I will need guest bloggers for that so if you all are interested, please let me know!**

I am loving that life has finally slowed down enough that I have time for myself again. I have started reading again & I intend to start blogging more frequently again!

I am loving that I ordered my Life Planner

I loved using my life planner this past year & can't wait for this years edition. Without any revisions I would have been happy with Erin's Life Planner but I can already tell that this edition is so much better!

I am loving even more that I got it for 50% off from my Plum District Code & Erin's discount code as well :)

I am loving that Adam & I have started containerizing! Having our house in order & ensuring that every item has a "home" is such a great feeling.

I am loving the idea of Menu Planning. Almost daily Adam & I will stare at each other for 15 minutes trying to figure out what we want for dinner.. Half the time only to find that we don't have the proper ingredients.. Menu Planning would end this. Any menu planners in the building? Tips, please! :)

I am LOVING that in 4 short weeks I will no longer "work" full time. I will still be working 5 days a week but 2.5 of those days will be working from home building my business while the other 2.5 will be working my current job. I am so anxious to see where this step takes us!

Most of all I am loving the following 2 things...

I am loving my title of "Aunt" to these 3 beautiful children!

I am loving that I am lucky enough to call this guy my Husband!

 

Happy Hump Day, friends!

What I'm loving Wednesday

I am linking up with Jamie today for What I'm Loving Wednesday! 

I am loving my new iPhone!

Seriously, how did I live without this device until now? iLove my iPhone. Pun intended.

I am loving the Pinterest App!

Speaking of Pinterest..

I am loving these pins this week: 

I am loving that I get to have dinner with my Sisters-in-law tonight! 

I am, as always, loving my amazing Husband.

Happy Wednesday! :)

Pinning

My name is Karli & I am a Pinterest Addict.

I easily spend 5 hours of my day pinning inspiration. That was before I discovered the Pinterest App - Yes, Apple is telling the truth when they say "There's an app for that". 

My pinterest obsession has become a bit out of control. 

If you haven't discovered pinterest yet, you're welcome. 

Tell your husband/boyfriend/fiance that I'm sorry in advance.

Happy Pinning!

Floral - Vendor Spotlight

When we first started looking at floral for the wedding, I knew two things, I wanted garden roses & texture. If I had those two things I would be happy. 

When we began looking at florists in the Portland area, I quickly became discouraged. Every florist I met with didn't seem to grasp what I wanted. I left every consult more frustrated than the last. I started to think that maybe I wasn't verbalizing what I wanted clearly. Maybe we really didn't have a large enough budget like one of the florist had said.  Or maybe all florist made adjustments to your wishes based on their own wants.. Just as I was ready to give up and settle on a florist who didn't get what I wanted & wasn't going to produce what I envision I received some awesome advice. My mom said to me "Honey, don't settle for something that you don't love. You have always been one to dig until you find what it is that you want, keep digging. There is someone out there who will not only provide what you want but will do so within your budget!" 

I listened. I decided to look once more on The Knot and that is when I found Stephanie of Petalos. My prayers had been answered. Stephanie instantly got what I was looking for & she exceeded my expectations the day of.  Our floral was beautiful. 

My bouquet was one of the details of the wedding that I was anticipating seeing the most. At one point I told Stephanie I was more excited to see my bouquet then I was to see Adam for the first time in his suit. Of course in the end that didn't hold to be true by my bouquet came in at a close second. 

My bouquet consisted of: David Austen Darcey & Juliet, Walzertraum, Romantic Antique & Yves Piaget Garden Roses, Peach Avalanche & Prima Donna Roses, Hydrenga, Calla Lilies, Ranunculus, Lilacs, Sweet Peas, Dusty Miller (Lambs ear) & Misty Lace. 

I love that with every angle my bouquet looked different & showed the different textures.

The Bridesmaid's bouquet's didn't contain as much texture nor did they contain any ivory or creamy shades. I really wanted them to strictly be color. 

Their Bouquet's consisted of: Lilac's, Calla Lilies, Sweet Peas, & David Austen Darcey & Juliet.

Flower Girls & Ring Bearer:

Both the girls carried Bi-color carnation pomedere's with coral ribbon & my nephew's pillow was a bi-color carnation pillow with fuschia ribbon. 

I honestly can't say enough positive things about Stephanie & Petalos. Her stunning arrangements speak for themselves. I can't wait to get the rest of the images back & to be able to share more stunning shots of our floral.
