Wedding Inspiration

Don't you love Saturdays that allow you to just relax?? I love them. I used to think that I fed off of being busy. And to a certain extent, that may be true. I am a huge procrastinator. So, if I have a paper to write for school, or a project to accomplish and I have too much time to complete it--I will wait until it is crunch time to begin it. In high school and even in college, I was able to feed off of that last-minute adrenaline rush and get things accomplished quick and also well. However, I am noticing this is becoming less and less true of me. The last time I waited until the last minute to write a paper (okay, okay it was last weekend) I pretty much had an anxiety attack trying to complete it before bedtime (maybe it's more stressful because my bedtime is now 3 hours earlier than it was in college?). 
Anyway, this Saturday was lovely. I cannot remember the last time I had little to nothing actually planned. So, what did I do? Whatever I felt like doing. Whenever I felt like doing it. Basically. 

Woke up around 8:30. 
Ate breakfast (my Dad's famous scrambled eggs on wheat toast). 
Spent some time on Pinterest and Etsy looking for headpieces, flower ideas and cake ideas for the wedding.
Went with my Mom to the post-office to mail out, YES FINALLY!, the invitations. 
Then, we went to a few antique shops/thrift stores to look for a large frame to use for our place cards.

This is my inspiration for that:

We didn't end up finding anything remotely close to the size that we need for it. I think our next stop will be my favorite places: the Christmas Tree Shop, Marshalls, and HomeGoods. 
After that, came home to eat some lunchy. yum.
Went on Pinterest again....
Then went to the gym with my sister. She's home for the weekend and totally kicked my butt today!! 

Now,...you guessed it. Back on Pinterest :) 

I figured I share some of my wedding inspirations while I'm wasting my time some more.

Colors. Navy, Grey & Yellow (with hints of green)

The girls are wearing navy dresses (with nude shoes) and the guys are wearing grey tuxes with navy accessories. 

The girls will have yellow bouquets with hints of green and I will have a white bouquet with hints of green. 


And I want blue shoes!!


That's all for now. I really need to start working on figuring out what in the world to do with my hair...but that can be for another post. 

What did you do on your Saturday? I hope you took some time to relax :) Happy Weekend!
