Squee!!! My drink stirrers were featured in the most STUNNING wedding a few months back on Style Me Pretty!

Doesn’t Kate make a beautiful bride? When she asked for tall drink stirrers in lavender and cream, I never knew I would be sending them to such a gorgeous celebration. See the rest of her photos, by the talented Samm Blake, here! (And if you’re wondering why it took me a few months to share, it’s because her wedding was just featured in Wedding Style Guide, an Australian publication, which landed on newsstands a few days ago!)

And if you’d like drink stirrers of your own, click here!

On another personal note, I am so excited that one of John’s sisters is engaged!! Seth asked for Marget’s hand a few weeks back (in Paris!), and the two will be married at the Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park next summer. We’ve had two planning calls already, and things are starting to take shape. Can you tell I am a little excited for them?!

Today is my parents’ thirtieth anniversary. My Dad is funny and smart, and incredibly patient, charming, and diplomatic. My Mom is also funny and smart, and the warmest, most welcoming, and kind person you’ll ever meet. They are two of the most special people I know, and I’m so glad they found each other and decided to have children :) I love you, Mom and Dad!

P.S. Doesn’t my Mom’s wedding dress kind of remind you of Kate Middleton’s?

Oh. My. Gosh. Deep dish chocolate cookies. With vanilla ice cream. So making these this weekend.
