Its Here!!!

Last week Andrew and I made a date and went to this awesome pottery place called Third Coast Clay at the Factory in Franklin. We had so much fun!!! I wanted something personalized at the wedding and also something that we would be able to keep so we made this plate that you see below. Though it is not perfect, Andrew and I totally made it together from scratch!

My Dog thinks She's a Cat...

This is my BABY...Abby. I really love her more than any person should love their dog...but I do. I work from home almost everyday because of my job as a photographer so Abby likes to crash on our couch in the office. Well since we have had so much pretty weather, I have been opening the windows to get some fresh air. Abby LOVES to people watch so she will stand on her back legs and put her little paws on the windowsill and look out and occasionally bark at the people passing by. Well on Saturday I had the windows open with the wonderful 70 degree weather we had. Andrew was on his way over and she saw him pull up from the window and she just went crazy so I put her on the windowsill so she could see him better. This has now become her favorite spot to hang out because yesterday she asked to be put back on the sill. Check out the photo for a smile. My crazy dog!

The Guest Book...

I finally found the guest book that I wanted! I know it is kind of silly to be so particular about these things but I love tying everything into a theme, all down to the last little details. I got this at the cutest boutiques in Brentwood, Hot Pink. They have the cutest most girly things ever! So here are some pics of the guest book that I took. Gave ya some detail shots too :) Now if I can only find the perfect pen for the perfect guest book...lol

Look what I got today!!!

They finally came in! These are the toasting glasses that Andrew and I will be drinking out of at our wedding. They are so FABULOUS! Kate Spade stemware is just to die for! They have little etched polka dots into the glass. I just love them! We got the fluted ones. I gave you a few pics to look at for the up close and personal. :)

All about the Wedding...

So here is the deal about the wedding. We are getting married at this fabulous location here in Franklin called Lille Belles. It is just off 3rd Ave. and it is an old Victorian Style Tea House. I just love the charm and style that comes with it. In the back is where the wedding will be held as well as the reception. It is a gorgeous garden patio.

These are the center pieces that I picked out for the tables. They are pink peonies and I forgot what the branches are called but they will have little lanterns hanging off of them with tea lights just as the picture shows. This is what I am the most excited about so far. I just love them!
This will be my bouquet. I think it is just so sweet and elegant and I love the yellow crown aster filler. 
The bridesmaid dresses that I picked out for all 9 of my girls are from j.crew in the weddings and parties sections. They will be wearing this dress exactly. All my bridesmaids just love them and I really think they will be able to wear them again. I haven't picked out the shoes yet. I am having a hard time with it. I am thinking kinda gold-ish strappy heels...what do you think?
Here is a view of the dress from all angles.
The planning is really coming along...so much to do still though. Our wedding party is pretty big. I have 9 girls and Andrew has 10 guys and we have 2 flower girls. It will be so much fun though. I am so excited. More posts to come soon!

CASA of Davidson County

If you can come to their red shoe party event in April it would be greatly appreciated. All the info is on the website, but if you have any questions contact me and I can direct you on who you need to talk to.

Our Home

In August of last year I was leaving for a trip to Daytona Beach with just my Mom, me, and my awesome little dog Abby. We were heading down the interstate just tooling along when I received a phone call on my cell. It was my realtor calling to tell me that the house that we had made an offer on was accepted! I about drove off the road with excitement. I couldn't believe it! We were going to be getting a home, well it is a condo but you know what I mean. I was so excited because it was just exactly what I wanted. Our home is only 3 years old and is so nice and new with all new appliances. We got such a great deal on it! It is located here in Franklin and for what an apartment cost here it is more economical to buy even though real estate is not the cheapest either here. We closed on Sept. 30th and started moving everything in that next week. Drew is from Brentwood where he lives with his family til we get married but it has been so nice to start all the little projects together and getting it ready for us both to live here in only a little over 3 months. I wanted to post some pics of what some of the rooms look like. It is taking time but we are finally getting there and I know some of you wanted to know what it looked like anyways so here it is...Enjoy!


The Kitchen...

The living room almost fully furnished

This is our Office...my favorite room in the house
Those are the only pics I have taken so far. Please don't judge me on the composition and the editing because I am a photographer. These are just snapshots.... photographers can take snapshots too ya know! :)

Another Beginning...

Ok ok...so I know I already have a blog but I wanted to have a personal one that didn't have anything to do with my business. I tried doing this a few months ago to keep everyone posted about the wedding plans and such but school and everything else got in the way so here it is again. Another thing...I know officially I am not Mrs. Andrew Skaggs yet but I wanted the header to say that so I did :) I am going to post all things about the wedding and our home and our life on here. I think it will be a neat thing to look back on and see what all was going through my head at the time. So sit back and relax and enjoy the up and coming future of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Skaggs!
