Weddings and Babies...My Friends Are At That Age...

One day I go from helping one friend pick out wedding color schemes and bridesmaids dresses to the next day helping Sister pick out baby girl names and crib bedding. Come on people, slow down! Aunt Blain can’t keep up!

Well several things have been decided: Sister and Sam, as of right now, have decided on the name Olivia Claire for my new little niece! I think “Charleston” summed it up the other day when he said, “Sam better watch out” and when I immediatly asked why he said “because, I have never met or seen an Olivia that is not absolutely smokin hot!” Yeap, that’s right, my niece will be gorgeous and follow along this trend of all Olivia’s being absolutely beautiful!

Anyway,
During my journey of helping friends pick out wedding and baby stuff, I did find several things that I love and hope helped inspire the brides and mothers to be!

Bridesmaids Dresses:
These bridesmaids dresses are cute and practical. I love the styles and the pop of color used in the shoes with the blue dresses. The dresses are not too crazy but definitly unforgetable; classy but also very sassy.

Wedding Table Settings and Center Pieces:
This table setting is to die for! I love the elegance and colors of everything from the tall centerpieces to the small flowers on each plate. And speaking of the plate…I have to have that china pattern!

Baby Gadgets:
This ZAZA hammock is perfect to hang anywhere in your house. If it were up to me, I would have one in every room! Including one to take outside while you are out in the yard; got two trees?
