Dunton Hot Springs

My older sister is getting married in less than a month, and I could not be more excited for her and her fiance. They chose the most gorgeous wedding location in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado, which is an hour outside of Durango, where my parents just bought a house. They have rented the entire “town” – which holds 44 guests (small wedding!). The scenery is beautiful, as are the bride and groom. McKenzie and Bryan are coming too, so we’ll spend the weekend gallivanting around Colorado before the wedding on Sunday evening. Check out these pictures on Style Me Pretty – eeps! Cannot wait.

Halfway to 30

One of my best friends since 3rd grade, Brittany, turned 25 today (i.e. halfway to 30). We had a dinner celebration last night at her and Aaron’s new gorgeous townhouse. The food, drinks and conversation were just perfect. Happy birthday, Britt!

Cupcake Decor

One of the first things that Sasha and I decided on was the fact we wouldn’t have a wedding cake, but would instead have vegan cupcakes. I haven’t eaten eggs in over 10 years, and so I avoid most desserts. We found the best vegan bakery in Oakland, Fat Bottom Bakery, that will be making all of the cupcakes for our wedding (see related post here). I’m meeting with Atheneum Creative today to review the invitation designs – I’m so stinking excited. I’m also going to ask them to help make signs for a variety of things at the wedding – the cupcake stand being one of them. I’ve compiled my five favorite options – how cute are those little individual signs? Have you seen any other creative displays before?

Wedding Shower Style

Sasha’s aunt, sister and cousin are throwing me a bridal shower at the end of the month, and I’m beginning my dress hunt. With all of our other expenses right now with the house, I’m trying to be good and not shop too much (quite the challenge). I decided to give myself a $200 limit on the shower dress, and I found a lot of great items. My favorite five (all within the price range) are above. And this one! A late find. Which is your favorite?

1) Zara Backless White Dress, 2) J. Crew Lace Stripe Dress, 3) BHLDN Nine Muses Dress, 4) Dolce Vita Eira Dress, 5) Anthropologie Greenwich Pencil Dress

Wedding Stationery Crush

We’re having our invitation design review on Friday + I’m like a kid in a candy shop – so excited. I went to Oh So Beautiful Paper the other day + spotted the most gorgeous wedding + rehearsal dinner stationery by Jay Adores Design Co. Are they not incredible? I super love the packaging. Then, I snooped + found their Save-the-Dates. Also amazing. Huge paper crush right now.
