Looking At Flowers and The Dress Hunt is Over!

We are looking forward to our afternoon.

Part of it, at least, will be spent in a large flower warehouse

choosing the flowers for the wedding.

Chelsea gave me pause last evening when she reminded me

that the wedding is just 7 weeks from now.

It sounds farther when you say the number of days.

But I am very aware of how quickly weeks FLY by.

Seven will be here and gone before we know it!

She will then be Mrs. Pham.

Mrs.

Wow.

She is going to be a very good wife, I think.

Each day brings new fun wedding stuff to think about and plan.

And so today as we go off to choose flowers it will be a 

beautiful and special kind of a day.

Our friend, Susan, has begun her formal business

called Divine Florals.

I'm so glad to see it!

She is just so talented and great at what she does.

Let me share some of her work.....

 Our friend, Emma and her groom, Vinnie.

My daughter in love, Emily's bouquet.  She chose some very unique flowers

that had to be shipped in from Central America.  

Chelsea is going for a simple but elegant look.

However, flowers are key to the decor and so 

we are most excited to see if what we envision in our heads 

can be as beautiful in person.

My guess?

It will be even better.

I finally have the dress I will wear to the wedding.

Actually, I have two....but I do think I've decided on the one.

It is navy blue and a very classic knee length.

Not the fancy dress I thought I wanted but I've tried enough of them on 

to know that they aren't me.

Much better to just be myself and focus on my girl on that day

than be all out of sorts and miserable.

I know you will be so happy that I've come to my senses. 

Oh, the drama!
