Bye Bye Cacti

Update: Oops I meant tying “bows” not “boys!” 
I’m back from AZ and boy am I exhausted. This was my very last trip before the wedding so there are 1 billion+ things to do. And… my Mom’s friends threw me a lovely bridal shower! Below is my bouquet of ribbons from all the presents — I plan to use it at my rehearsal!
There were mimosas, yummy catered food (a salad with mangoes that was to die for, salmon and capers pasta salad, crepe turkey sandwiches, and roasted veggies!), an awesome cake, and lots and lots of people I grew up with. Oh, and I was spoiled rotten with presents!
I’ll blog soon about my nightly ritual of tying bows until 3a.m. and gift basket making and dress fittings and final appointments and confusion about timing… just as soon as I get over my “jet lag” (took the red eye back) and am a little more coherent. Let the count down to W-day begin!

Tying “boys” till 3 am? Do tell! 
My sisters made a great practice bouquet & veil for their NYC sister — a rubber Statue of Liberty crown and torch decorated with tulle and ribbons. Loved it!
I hope “boys” is supposed to be “bows” or you have some ’splaining to do!!

About Me: Here are some things I love?�‚�? painting, drawing, knitting and all other crafty things (including glueing popsicle sticks together); burritos (must be from Arizona); indie/70s rock; whiskey; dogs (if only my tiny apt could support one!); bad TV; and reading. I'm also crazy indecisive so fingers crossed wedding planning doesn't kill me.
Looks like it was a good time! I love those ribbon bouquets–such a cool tradition
