Welcome to my blog!

This is my blog to created to share my decorating ideas. I'm no expert, so some creations may be my amateur version of experts'. I created this to help inspire other people like me who have big ideas and little know-how. This is to encourage you to believe that you can do whatever you dream of.

I also share about my life as a redhead with a lot of opinions, my experiences as a twenty-something year old nearing thirty, and the whole crazy wedding planning process for my fiance and me.

Wedding Plans in Progress!

Ladies and Gentlemen: We now have a venue! Wooo hooo!!! That's right. After looking at countless venues, we finally decided to go with the one that would have been my number one choice all along. I am not the type of girl who has thought about my wedding day before. Not at all. Not until after I got engaged. But, I did think that it would be magical to get married at this place the first time I went there. Believe me, this is an unusual thought for me. Daniel just so happens to love the place too. Once I moved here, he couldn't wait to take me to see it. It's basically a huge garden. I am so excited, I can barely contain myself. The venue is a place that I want to be at at all times. Seriously, I never want to leave there. As much as I am excited about the venue, I am just as excited about the flowers. I think I might be in love with my florist's talent. She is absolutely amazing and crazy talented. Don't believe me? Here are a few pictures of her work.

Venues Galore!

Dan and I have looked at every wedding venue in the whole surrounding 100 or so miles and now we are tired! It has been fun, but a little exhausting. We have been on the search for just the right place- and right price- to have our wedding. Every place we have looked at is beautiful, but has one thing or another that is a deal breaker- for example, guests having to use porta potties is not ok. They should be required to tell you that kind of stuff before you drive all the way out there to see the place! Here's the best pictures of the places we have seen.
