Wedding Planning weekend

My dear, dear friend Lindsey is getting married this summer and I just couldn't be happier/more excited for her and her fiance Nate. I just love both Lindsey and Nate as individuals and together I think they make one of the greatest couples I know. They've got six months to the big day, so I'll save some of the sap for a little bit closer to the actual date but, this weekend Lindsey rounded upthe friend star as we call ourselves or the bay area UPS alumni book club as Jack calls us and we got down to business - Lindsey and Nate have done so much work planning already and it was so fun and such an honor to have Lindsey ask us all for some help! We spent an entire 24 hours together - which meant girls sleepover!!! How fun is that?! We visited the park where the day before picnic will take place, we saw the venue, took some table measurements, did some dress shopping, purchased a few succulents for dreaming up centerpieces with, watched 3 girly wedding movies, had a big finnish pancake breakfast and then hit up a local bridal fair for some more inspiration.

The pre-wedding picnic site where we picnic lunched and got our brains in wedding mode.

At the dress whisperer's dress shop!


Wedding movies galore - boys don't get too jealous of this one :).

Blog/website inspiration.

Centerpiece brainstorming.

Lindsey's homemade Finnish pancake - how fancy is that?!

Succulent breakfast table!

Love, love, love these girls and am so excited for the journey leading up to the big day for Lindsey and Nate!
