Orange, Yellow, Red - Fall how I love you!

Fall is my second favorite season, next to spring. In fall everything looks beautiful.The trees change to the most beautiful warm colors, and when the leaves fall it just looks delightful. Not to mention fall fashion, people stop wearing nothing like in summer and put on cute sweater dresses, and boots, and fun jackets. Then there is Thanksgiving, a holiday that gives you an excuse to stuff your face with food until your stomach pretty much hurts, and when you have reached that point you fill it with pumpkin pie. Ahhh how I love turkey dinners!

For the past two years we have had a wedding on this Thanksgiving long weekend. Last year we were in Airdrie for my cousins wedding and it was snowing and cold out. It was a very beautiful wedding and they had the best midnight lunch I have ever had! At 11:00 like 10 different Pizza Hut pizza's showed up, it was so perfect!
So go figure this year it was about 20 some degrees out. The wedding we went to was in Regina and was a high school friend of Lorne's. Lorne is from Oungre, a town that has a population of about 20, and people say where they are from, based on where they get their mail not where they are closest to....this is very strange to me. But everyone farms and knows everyone and it just such a great atmosphere to be around. So when I seen the wheat and flax centerpieces with all fall colors, I just feel in love with this reception! Most weddings are always personal, but when you can incorporate something meaningful to you in your centerpiece I think that is so awesome!

I just had to share some of the pictures!

So I had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I hope you all did too!!

A Little Bit About Myself

Born and raised in Estevan Saskatchewan, by pretty great parents and with my three older brothers, I always had a "plan". I love plans..making plans...thinking of plans...but even better then plans are lists. I will write a To Do List for just about everything. Then have a highlighter on hand to check my duties off once they are done.
When I got engaged to my fantastic husband, I was on a mission to have this completely unique and personal wedding, an event that 100% represented us. As any bride to be I became completely consumed in all things weddings. From the centerpieces to flowers, the invitations to the photos. Except after I was married I couldn't get any of it out of my mind.
I have always had a passion for colors, decorations, and the feel of a room. So when Julie, a friend of mine, got engaged and asked for my help I was more than honored. It was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. To come in and take away stress from the bride and groom, then to have the privilege to contribute to throwing this breath taking event....it was amazing.
My family and friends, have always asked me why I don't get into this field and I never really had a good answer back. It wasn't until I went for lunch with Julie after her wedding and she said to me "I just don't understand why you wouldn't".... It was that line that got me to where I am today.
Starting a business can feel scary, like you're the new kid going into elementary school and all you hope for is that people like you. Then I think.... no starting a business is exciting, I get the chance to do what I love, showcase my skills while helping people. It's nothing less than great.
