BRIDAL SHOWER

A few weeks ago one of my best friends celebrated her bridal shower. Being that half of the bridal party (me included up until January) is from out of state, it was a little difficult for all of the bridesmaids to get on the same page about planning festivities! But in the end everything came together and we were able to pull off what we thought was a pretty Pinterest worthy bridal shower. My favorite part was a post-it game, where all guests had to write down a memorable (or not so memorable) moment of the bride that she had to read out loud to the group and then try to guess who wrote it. There were some pretty interesting post-it stories that made for a good laugh. The bride handled all the somewhat embarrassing shower games with much grace and poise! Let's hope that when it is one day my turn, such games are out of style ;)

We are now just two months away from the big day where she says I do, but first ... the bachelorette party. In a few short weeks we are going to Nashville to celebrate for the weekend! I'm excited to say I will definitely be documenting that weekend so stay tuned.

my brother's wedding is coming up in just three short weeks! i am getting so excited for my trip home and of course to celebrate the day of the wedding with my family and my sister-in-law! i am lucky enough to be one of the bridesmaids in the wedding and it is going to be my first time doing so.

 i've decided to do my own hair, as i like to normally experiment with braids and twists, etc. i'm not sure what kind of hairstyle i want for that day and i thought i would throw it out there to my readers to see if anyone has any suggestions. i know that i do not want my hair down because i would just get frustrated with it and end up throwing it in a ponytail anyway. i am also fairly handy with braids and french braids so i think i would be able to pull something like the above two right styles. my main concern is having the style stay where it is! my hair has been known to just fall out of any style i put it in fairly quickly so if anyone can recommend a way for it to stay put i would greatly appreciate it!

i look forward to your suggestions and in three weeks you will be able to see what i decided on :)
