An Intimate Reception, Cute Invite, and Classy Hurricanes

Here's a couple things I stumbled on during the week...

Love this reception picture from The Perfect Palette. The whole affair looks so intimate, carefree, and effortlessly chic. I'm picturing an upscale picnic theme; complete with french bread sandwiches, a large fruit bowl, and several pasta salads. Definitely the kind of event I'd like to attend!

This coaster slash invite from Greer Chicago is absolutely too cute! I'd love to receive one of these in the mail, stashed in a bright pink envelope. This would be great for any type of female get-together: bachelorette, bridal shower, birthday party, "just because" girl's night.

This last find is from a ridiculously amazing floral blog. If you haven't visited before, please take a looksie at The Treasured Petal. Their work is amazing and oozes inspiration for any type of wedding. I'm in love with the hurricaine pictured above. The bride and groom chose to have their favorite book excerpts or poems transferred onto the glass- what an ingenious idea. The light cast was so soft and glowing!

A Picnic for Two...or 100

We're here in Atlanta for Meghann and Adam's wedding. Mr. SE is a groomsman, and with a palette of espresso and champagne (does this sound like our living room?) the wedding is sure to impress. Tonight was the rehearsal dinner, and we had a lovely time. Mr. SE has taken Adam and the other groomsman to see The Hangover (yes, again). Not sure if that's the most positive message before the wedding, but Adam said he'd really enjoy seeing it. Tomorrow we'll be having the wedding in the early evening, so blogging will be on hiatus. Don't ask me why I didn't bring my laptop- or a toothbrush?!?! I'll definitely post pictures of the wedding- as if that's even a question.For now, take a gander at this lovely picnic inspired wedding from Oh Happy Day! I love, love, love picnics. Mr. SE and I are planning on taking a picnic to Arrington Vineyards next weekend. Also- my mom is planning a picnic for Mr. SE and myself at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore after K's wedding weekend! Purple is SO hot right now, and I'm loving all of the simple details that this event has to offer. Here's the link for more pictures.

Also- Duffie had her first hair cut in Nashville and I'm glad to report she looks fabulous! We went to Nashville Pet Products and she had the whole she-bang for $32. Not bad!
