{Attire} His and Hers

This week has been about finding attire for the bridesmaids and the BFF. Success came today for the BFF! We went on the hunt for a gray suit and after a morning of hunting around the mall, and a yummy brunch, we came upon the perfect one!

Here's some pics of a few gray suits that inspired our search:

As for the girls, Leah and I went out this week to finally see what spring and summer lines were out.
We found a lot of purple and gray hues in various stores. I really like the flowery one from RW & CO, but because everyone has different body types, I just want them each to find something that works for them.

This is the one I like from RW & CO.

 And another one from there.

A pretty pop of purple from Banana Republic.

DIY {Centerpieces}

Keeping with the outdoor, rustic theme, I wanted something original and interesting for the table centerpieces. Of course I know that my mom will create a gorgeous floral arrangement, no worries there, but what to put it in?

I was first inspired by this idea a while back:

I like the feeling of a low, wooden box as it adds texture and a bit of character to the table.

Enter my grandfather, Pake Pete!

This is us on Easter weekend!

He is a semi-retired-ants-in-his-pants kind of guy. Love him to pieces, but both me and my grandmother know that he needs projects to keep him busy, especially when there is not enough to do on the estate (where we are having the wedding). So with enough barn board to go around, my dad and I mocked up a good ol' wooden box and asked Pake to copy it 20 times!

Le Sample!

 Small side note: Got this adorable ice bucket for the drink table! 

Don't ya just love the scoop!?

Checked in on his progress...and...

...Found four more were completed!

Totally awesome! Thanks Pake! I'm so thrilled by all the loving touches to everything.
