Pretty Pink Party
good morning! i know i'm not big on posting pink, 1 year old birthday parties here on Weddings Fresh but that doesn't mean i don't gush over them! i couldn't resist my good friend's beautifully sweet design from her little Anya's first birthday! she's one of those women, and especially moms, that you look at and wonder how she has time to be good at everything she does--cooking, photography, sewing, baby hair accessories design and now to the list, pretty party design!!love you, min! check her out, Mindy Strauss, for more!

Fabulous Comfort
well, ladies, i am sorry yet again for not keeping up with my posting. to try and keep this short i will explain just a bit. i have had a long year full of neck pain and doctor's visits, more back pain and lots more doctor's visits. i guess having two kiddos right in a row will do that to a body :) and so on wednesday i had treatment called prolotherapy done on my neck to try to stimulate healing in my weak and torn ligaments. that itself went well--yay! but i reacted to some other medication which caused 3 days of migraine headache pain that was so unbearable i didn't eat or leave my bed for much anything. i have slowly recovered from that incident but i definitely don't feel back to normal just yet. my poor kids (and husband) have to deal with a dizzy and aching mama for at least one more day. i would however like to spend my sluggish hours wearing these kimono robes by Plum Pretty Sugar. gorgeous and most importantly they look fabulously comfortable! (and not a bad idea to snag a couple of these for your lovely best girls who help make your wedding day so fun!) but i will need up to 8-10 treatments to really fix the damage in my neck. prayerfully, i will not need to take the medication that has caused all this extra pain! yuck! but thank you to all of you who so faithfully read Weddings Fresh, and i have noticed a lot of newbies, which i love!! i just wanted to let you all know i'm still here, i just may take a couple days here and there to recoup after each treatment...
Lavender Sachet Sets
i saw these cute bird & flower lavender sachet sets on Birde Blu's blog yesterday (nice work, Cat!)--lovely gifts for your bridesmaids to tuck into their lingerie drawers, keep in storage bins or even place in their cars to keep them feeling fresh and clean. check out Quintessential Quirks to buy your own!
and yes, this is a wedding blog, but check out their adorable baby onesiecakes!! oh my goodness!! you can buy them in sets of four too! to die for!!
nice and easy
oh yeah, it's friday! it's a stormy, rainy day here in portland, and i'm hanging with my boys in our pjs for a bit :) it's nice to to relax and take it easy in the morning. and it's even nicer that my hubbie and i get to have a nice date night on the town this evening! i hope you all have a wonderful weekend and i will see you on monday.

obsessed...
i know it's a little late for a post, but it's just one of those days...but my boys are napping (yay!) and i am staring at the new j crew catalog--goodness. i know. it's bad for my health. but can you see those booties? oh. my. goodness. and those pants? that's my look, ladies!! well, that's my look if i can get my hands on those items before they sell out! isn't that ruffle vest adorable as well? enjoy your day!
Photo Booth: Katie Anderson Photography
last saturday i threw my husband a surprise party for his big 30th birthday. it took a lot of coordination, phone calls "in code" and some sneaky maneuvering in order to make sure he didn't know what was coming, but well worth it! he was so surprised and extremely excited that we all celebrating him reaching "old-man-hood". ha! just kidding! i can only say that because i'm not 30 yet, and then it won't be funny :)
to make the party even more memorable, my sweet friend Katie and her husband, Greg, from Katie Anderson Photography offered to come by and set-up one of her new specialties: a photo booth! oh, so fun!! i wish i could have had one of these at my wedding--it's the perfect setting for guests to just relax and be a little goofy, and a creative and fun way to capture all the wonderful people in your life who you love!
so in the picture above you see me hubbie, tyler, my beautiful niece, karli, and me. technically there were "NO KIDS ALLOWED" at this party, but she had to stop by and see her aunt "D", so i okay-ed it :) my kiddos were home sick with my parents. i wish we could have had some photos of them too. if you want to see more of this little get-together and more of what the talented Katie Anderson can do, check her out here!
Oregon Bride Magazine
some of you may know that i was an assistant editor for the spring 2010 issue of Oregon Bride magazine these past months and i am so proud to announce that it has finally hit newsstands!!! i had such a wonderful time learning about the magazine, connecting with incredible Oregon wedding vendors, assisting with photo shoots, and interviewing and writing about beautiful brides who recently tied the knot. it was so much fun! i very much hope to continue working with Oregon Bride magazine this coming year. so all you Oregon brides, check it out--it's loaded with vintage inspiration, stunning designer gowns, real Oregon weddings and top of the line wedding vendors to make your day the dream you have always wished for!
Happy New Year!
so here is what i am wearing to my fabulous New Years party tonight....well, of course if money was not an issue and i had somewhere fabulous to wear it :) ...this gorgeous understated, yet sexy cream silk mini dress from RM by Roland Mouret, paired with these fabulous Roberto Cavalli chain 4.5 inch heels, with a touch of sparkle on my ears from these Kenneth Jay Lane crystal embellished earrings.
i hope you all have a wonderful New Years and wish you all the best in the coming new decade!! i am so thankful to have you all as readers of Weddings Fresh and couldn't be more honored to share with you my obsessions and thoughts throughout these last couple of years! may you be blessed as much as i am!

--dani
