Backyard Fun and Games

Summer is all about one thing, hanging outside in the sun. When the day isn't bringing afternoon storms, you can typically find me sitting on the back deck, making dinner on the grill, and engaging in a little fun. That's what summer is all about, right? More often than not, our friends are joining in on the fun which makes the day that much better. I wanted to share some of my favorite outdoor games with you today so hopefully you can kick your weekends up a notch too. These are great when playing with a group or even just with one other person. They make a great addition to your back yard BBQs and even to your more formal affairs. Pick up a few of these or try making them yourself to add a playful element to your next get together.

Have a great Wednesday!

Goin' to the Chapel

I have great news! I have just found out that one of my best friends is getting married in August. With such a short timeline, planning must begin immediately. The summer nuptials will take place in North Carolina, the perfect setting for a rustic southern soiree. The inspiration behind the big day is a casual, laid back event full of fun and laughs. With friends gathering from across the country to share in their special moment, this isn't only a wedding but a reunion of sorts. The outdoor affair will feature vintage touches, handmade details, and a bit of southern flair. Imagine a rustic barn, warm candle light, white blooms, and summer fun including corn hole, late night dancing, and bon fires complete with s'mores when the sun goes down. With a color scheme of greens and white, the natural, rustic feel will be naturally fun too. Can't wait to share more details of her big day as time approaches!
