{wedding decor}

I'm offically finished with this semester and Todd has a few exams left. It is really hard to believe that we only have one more semester left. Time flies!

This past weekend I enjoyed helping my mentor/friend/florist arrange and decorate at a wedding. I love the wedding industry. I worked for Shutterbooth back when I lived in Charlotte and always loved being a part of someones special day as a vendor. It was fun to play a different role. However, I never knew how much time and energy went into flowers and decorating!

Most of the assembly for this wedding was done at the venue, hours before the wedding. This was our "workstation" for the day. 

The setting for the ceremony was breathtaking. My favorite view was from the balcony which is where tables were set for reception dining.  

Everything was beautiful. All the flowers were white and we even created fake snow to use in vases. It was a very busy day but I had a great time. Never underestimate the florist industry. That is some hard work! Makes me want to call my wedding florist and just say thank you one more time! Can you imagine how dull weddings would be without flowers/decor? 

If you are looking for a florist in the high country for weddings or events, check out Millefleurs. The venue was at Crestwood Inn. I'm so glad I got to help. I love weddings! Next weekend a friend of ours, Daniel, is getting married. I'm looking forward to it especially since they are doing a Christmas brunch after the ceremony. Sounds lovely!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Thanksgiving Update...2 weeks late!

My brain is all over the place these days. We are just about to complete our next to last (woohoo) college semester and as you all know that brings lots of studying, lots of papers and lots of waiting until grades come in. So I thought in the midst of all my Christmas decor chat, why not back track and talk about our Thanksgiving. Seriously, my brain is a jumbled mess right now but I want to cover it before it gets too far gone. Our number one reason for this blog is to document our lives in diary form mainly for us to look back at in the future and I don't mind sharing it publicly for you all. We have some great friends and family that really care to know what the Davis' are up too and I appreciate you all for caring.

I love Thanksgiving. I love the food. I love spending time with family and I love shopping for good deals. Plus it kicks off the Christmas season which is always delightful. This was our first married Thanksgiving and actually spending it together. Although it can be sad to mix up my usual Turkey day routine, I loved making new traditions as a new unit. We are very thankful our parents live close by to one another and we were able to see everyone within the short few days we were home. I loved every moment of holding this sweet girl.

 We made a few purchases too. I cut the cord from my parents and joined Todd's phone plan which meant I got to upgrade to an iPhone. I was always that person that said I would never get one but now I must say, I really like it. It's much smarter than me and comes in handy. We also went out at 10 pm Thanksgiving night to try to get the incredibly good Xbox/Kinect deal. We were fortunate to get one of the last tickets and were home by 10:45 with the loot in our hands.

 Let me just tell ya. The Xbox rocks. I have been dancing my little heart out with Just Dance 3 and have asked for other games for Christmas (what am I, ten again? guess so). In my defense, the "game" I want is a workout program. Anyway, while I was supposed to be helping my parents decorate their tree/house, I found myself doing this...

You know you want to do it too! Come on over and join in on the fun!

Cheers,

Sara
