I love Gerber Daisies.
Like really love them.
It is my obsession in the flower world. So when I got engaged I knew that I wanted gerber daisies.
One flaw to my plan? they don't come naturally in turquoise, lime green, and purple.
I love the way they look though.. So I had to make a decision... Would I be okay with fake flowers??
I wasn't so sure I was.... but to have my gerber daisies I figured I would have no choice. I had almost given up all hope to have fresh gerber daisies in my colors..
Every place that could get them in our colors costed us an arm, a leg, and our stomachs.
Then we found J's Fresh Flower Market.. A place that let us do our own bouquets and flower arrangements, but we could get the fresh flowers I secretly desperately wanted... without breaking our budget! We met with them on thursday. We are waiting to hear back on how much it is all going to cost. I really hope it fits inside our budget!
I will keep you all updated!

for the love of gerber daisies :D
I have to love his boys. They are great. Zach's friends are really quite amazing and we have created a little "group" of our mutual friends that all hang around each other. :)
First his two best men:
Jacob. He is the only other boy in the picture. He and Zach have been friends for years. He is a really funny boy, and he has a huge heart. Always ready with advice. Has a mouth like a sailor.... but we love him anyways.
This is Taylor. Taylor and Zach have been friends since Taylor was born. He is a cool kid to hang out with, not very punctional though. He seems to lose track of time. Hopefully someone will be able to inform him when to go to the wedding! lol. I know he will be there for that.
Now the rest of his boys (in no particular order)
Jaron is Zach's brother. He's a few years older than us and is a cool guy. I don't know him nearly as well as I like because he is currently away at college. Hopefully that will change soon because I'd really like to get to know him better!
Brandon is the one on the far right. He and Brandon have been friends for years and he is one quiet kid. I really like Brandon though. He is a nice guy and is a lot of fun to be around. A little plugged into his xbox, but what boy isn't? lol.
Chris "Adam" Armstrong. I have always called him Adam, so this is Adam. Adam is a really nice boy. He is funny and plays his music too loud.
And Last, but certainly not least Chris. Chris is a great mutual friend. He has one of those hearts that is giant. He is a fun :)
Those are the boys :D
I love them all! <3
Drama.
A five letter word that can cause more trouble than a five letter word should allow.
Unfortunately I have had my fair share of drama lately. I think it may have to do with the maturity of a many of my classmates.
Not to mention this week just has not been a very amazing week. I don't know about any of you, but I will be happy to start a new week on Monday. You know what they say... Every day is a new start. :] I just hope everyone is right. Last week it was finally decided flowers and bridesmaid dresses. Unfortunately also this week a falling out between one of my bridesmaids and I has occurred. I didn't realize how much it could hurt when you lose a friendship with someone you care about that much, but it does. So our wedding party count is 5-6. I am not going to add another girl. I don't feel like that is a good idea, plus I don't want any girl to feel like a "2nd" option. One of my maids of honor will just walk down with two boys instead of one. She didn't seem to mind that much xD.
This week has been crazy.
I am now eating mint ice cream and watching Alice in Wonderland... Seems like as good idea as any to make the weekend better.
No better way to make a bad weekend better than going back to your childhood :)
Next post?
I will talk about Zach's boys and then a post about bridesmaid dresses and flowers!
.Zachary and I finally figured out our wedding parties! It took quite awhile to figure out due to family issues on my side, and just trying to figure it all out. Anyways without further Ado... Meet our wedding party.
Miss and Miss of Honor. Yes I have two. And Zach has two mens of honor.
First one is Cassie.
This one is from the summer before my junior year of high school. She and I have been friends since I was 12 and she was 13 and we went to summer camp together. We've been inseparable ever since... She is also the next in line to get married (once her boy pops the question of course!) I get to be her MATRON of honor :D.
My other beautiful miss of honor is Aubree.
Aubree is my sister.. well to be technical she will be my sister in law. But we adopted each other as sisters long before her brother and I decided to tie the knot. She is one of my very best friends and has a strong head on her shoulders. I am so lucky to be surrounded by great girls like her!
My other girls (who are just as important which I love lots!)
My dear Alexandria.. aka Ali
Ali is the one with the short hair. The red head next to her is another one of my girls named Jade, but she gets her own little blurb a little down.. This little blurb is about Ali. Ali and I haven't been friends as long as every other girl on this list but Ali has one of my biggest hearts I have had the pleasure of knowing and calling my friend. She is honest and is stubborn but I love that about her. She and Aubree remind me a lot of each other. :)
Since Jade is up there I will talk about Jade next. Jade and I have been friends since 6th grade. She has one of the funniest and bubbly personalities I know. She snorts and she can't smell anything. But she is a loyal friend through everything. I love having her around me because she is always telling crazy stories and loves being a help whenever she can. Only downside of Jade.. her crazy busy schedule makes it hard to get an appointment to see her! Oh well I love her anyways!
Sarah.. the crafty one.
She's the one that is in the blue by me in the pink.
She has an amazing crafty style. She makes her own dresses and they are phenomenal. She and I have been friends since 6th grade as well. She is a funny girl and I love her quirky personality. She has lots of animals and loves them all very much. She has like 6 cats, a guinea pig, rats, two ferrets, a dog and a bearded dragon. A mini zoo, but they are so cute!
And last but in no way least... Emily.
This picture is in one of my old posts. Emily and I have known each other for two years now. We don't always see eye to eye about things but she is a sweet girl. She is a lot of fun to hang out with. We met through our boyfriends. Her (now ex) boyfriend was on the bowling team and so was Zach. we became the bowling teams personal cheerleaders and it was really what started to bond us together.
These are my girls. They are amazing and I love them all very much and am so glad that they can be a part of my big day :)
Next post? Zach's boys!
Being engaged is always a lot of fun, but it also is a lot of work sometimes. Lately I've been thinking about cakes. Cakes are a lot fun. We decided on a two tier cake and then 6 small cakes surrounding it. Our two tier is going to be chocolate cake and the 6 small ones are going to be marble. I am very excited. These are some of my latest Cake inspirations... too bad I am not a huge cake eater.. these cakes look like they would taste amazing!
Gotta love the polka dots!
I love polka dots they are amazing and I really enjoy them. Polka dots and hearts :)
Next post? My girls dresses inspiration maybe? Life post?
Hmm. One hundred things list?
Only time will tell :D
