Laura's Bridal Shower #1: Canada

I had my first bridal shower on Sunday in Canada! I am still overwhelmed with joy at how beautiful it was and how generous Steve's family is. We are both so lucky to have such a huge loving family on both sides. It was a perfect day. Special thanks to my future mother-in-law and sister-in-law for all you did to put on such a lovely shower. <3

Wearing: There She Rose Blue Floral Print Dress f/ LuLu*s // Shoes, Necklace & Earrings-  Target

Thanks to everyone who made my first bridal shower so special. It was perfect.

Hung-Up on Summer Heels

I have been so taken by beautiful, strappy, vibrant high heels lately.  I don't know if it's the weather finally gracing us with the face of the sun or my mind being so caught up on formal wear and wedding festivities that has gotten me engrossed fancy shoes, but it's all I've been thinking about.  What heel trends have you all been loving lately?  I'm a sucker for an ankle strap. 

Here are some of my favorites:

1. Steve Madden Nevile Bone Leather f/ LuLu*s

2. Galelawen Heel f/ Aldo

3. Get it, Got it, Go See Heel f/ Modcloth

4. In the Sky Heels f/ Ruche

5. Bovary Heel f/ Shoemint

6. Sandalettes f/ H&M

Summer Preview

The weather this week has been absolutely perfect.  It's so great to wake up and already feel the 60+ degree temps followed by sunny afternoons and high 70s.  Michigan, I didn't think you had it in you this year.  Thanks for proving us wrong.  You're beautiful.  If this week is any indicator of what our summer is going to feel like, we welcome it with open arms.

On a kind-of related note of beautiful weather- how excited are you all about exquisitely brilliant blossoms this season? Steven recently bought me some of my favorite blooms: pink peonies. How beautiful are these?

What are your favorite spring flowers?  I'm generally a fan of anything that can make my house smell sweet and fragrant.  Lilacs and lilies are up there for me.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

xoxo,
Laura and Katelyn

Sparrow Fashion Show

Saturday night I attended the Sparrow fashion show & pop-up shop with my friend Kaitlyn (not to be confused with Katelyn).  She stopped over at my place and we headed out to Eve at the B.O.B. downtown.  If you recall, I showed some of my favorite Sparrow pieces in a January post here. They have fun, unique, bold and bright pieces that I'm sure you'll all love.  

Some photos by Kaitlyn of Artisan Happiness

The show was fabulous and well-executed.  I personally loved all of the work-inspired with a little bit of edginess pieces that were featured toward the beginning.  The girls all rocked it and it was a blast.
After enjoying a couple glasses of wine, Kaitlyn snapped some outdoor photos on the blue bridge, where I seemed to blend right in with the background.

Thanks Sparrow for putting on such a great event.  I had a lovely time and look forward to more pop-up shops around town!

GRSCC

Last night Katelyn and I attended the Grand Rapids Social Charity Club event at the Grand Woods Lounge, benefiting Ele's Place of Grand Rapids. I still can't get over how great it is to be living in the city again and being able to attend after-work events. There is just so much to love about Grand Rapids.

While at the Grand Woods Lounge, we ordered my all-time favorite appetizers: the southwestern spring rolls and the calamari. I could eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. SO delicious. Katelyn was impressed, too.

Crappy, cold weather aside, I hope you all have a great weekend! Steven and I will be working on more wedding plans and putting some finishing touches on high-priority needs. It'll be a relief when we get this stuff out of the way.

xoxo,
Laura & Katelyn
