Perfection

Luxury Monograms...

I first read about Luxury Monograms, over at my friend C's blog, I am obsessed! I really wish they had a wedding registry because you know I would be adding some items to my gift registry. I think I might just have to give in and buy a little prezzy for our home, like today! Seriously, if you haven't checked out Luxury Monograms, head on over!



Perfection!

Wedding Takeover...

With the wedding a little less than two months away, I feel as though the wedding is taking over my life...in a good way :) This week I have been working away on finalizing the wedding program for church and the itinerary for our wedding weekend that will go in our guests welcome bags.
I also realized that I needed to make a final decision on what we wanted to do for our guest book. I had tons of ideas written down but we decided to go with a photo station, where guests would take their picture with a polaroid camera and attach their picture to the book and write a note for MMB and I! I think it will turn out super cute and it will make for a fun coffee table book. I am working with our printer to make some pretty signage for the table.
What did you do for your guest book?!

Inspiration!

Wedding Details...

Well, today officially marks 2 months from our wedding day,
I seriously can't believe it!
Last week was very exciting, our wedding invitations were mailed.
It was such an amazing moment,
everything became so "real" and I couldn't be happier.
It has been so exciting having our family and friends receive the invitations
and tell us how much they loved them...
it especially made me feel wonderful
because I put a lot of thought and time into our invitations!
I think most of our guests have received our invitations so I wanted to share some little details.

We created a custom stamp with Ashley of Ashley Brooke Designs
and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
So perfect for our hamptons wedding!
Our invitations before they went in the mail,
I just love how the envelopes looked!
The stamps and calligraphy were perfect!

I can't wait to start receiving the response cards!

Late Night Wedding Shoes!

When I arrived on Nantucket last weekend for my bridal shower, I found an amazing prezzy waiting for me on my bed. Jack Rogers with my married monogram! I already have my wedding shoes but I think these will be the perfect shoes to slip on late night at the wedding, I plan on dancing the night away, so I am sure my feet will be throbbing. I love them so much and can't wait to wear them all summer long!

Love them...perfect!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter!
I am off to Florida tonight to spend the weekend in the sun
with friends and family!

Pazzo on Nantucket

MMB and I attended a restaurant opening on Nantucket last Friday night. Pazzo (which means Good Crazy) was opened by the owners of LoLa 41, so I knew the food would be delish and the atmosphere super fun. The Mediterranean bistro is located at 131 Pleasant Street and did not disappoint. We had a great night and I am sure we will be heading to Pazzo with friends this summer.

The menu included lots of small plates,
everything was delicious.
The cocktails were fabulous as well!
Shot of the bar.
The decor was amazing,
this picture does not do the restaurant justice.
MMB and Me...such a fun night!
