2015: The Year of Mr. & Mrs. Thompson

Do most of my posts start with the statement "better late than never"? Cause I feel like they do.  This post has been a long time coming, but after I had already waited so long after our engagement shoot session I figured I might as well wait til 2015.  

Where: Asheville, NC
Hair & Makeup: @beautybycort

I set myself up for having a lot of anxiety about this photo shoot by writing this article on What to Wear for Your Engagement Photos before I was engaged.... long before.  I felt like I was dressing for Summer and he was dressing for Fall, but I think (I hope) the colors we chose made us look cohesive.
And I was happy to take my own advice on bringing a prop.... the dog & the bouquet I made in a hurry.

Also, I tried to narrow it down to 5 for the post, but I just couldn't.

 Him: Levi's Shirt/Wrangler Jeans/Lucchese boots

 Her: Dress & Bracelet from Anthropologie/ Frye booties/ Necklace from Vidalia Vogue on Etsy

My hair! Did Cortney do a beautiful job, or what?!  Waylon and Austin look handsome, as always.

Both Frye booties I wore in this shoot are ones I picked from this very lucky occurrence.

 Him: J. Crew vest/ DL 1961 shirt/ Lucchese boots/ Belt buckle from Waylon Jennings Merch Co.
Her: Dress & Bracelet from Anthropologie/ Frye booties/ Necklace from Elementality - Asheville, NC

 This is might be my favorite.

No, this one is definitely my favorite.  My version of American Gothic was executed beautifully.
Thanks for running the pitchfork out in a hurry and being a stand-in stylist [requesting Austin to roll up his jeans for this last one], Mom!

We were using truck headlights for light at this point.

That's all she wrote, folks! Thanks for being interested in this special, special moment in my life.   God has truly blessed me with my forever friend.

10 Fun + Easy Gifts for Your Recently Engaged Friend(s)

Recently, a friend at work had friends coming into town on their way back from Asheville, NC where they had just gotten engaged.  She wanted to make their one-night visit special and celebrate their new commitment, but was obviously a little limited on time.  She said "You just got engaged... what are some good gifts I can pick up after work?" 
Which inspired this post...

10 Fun + Easy Gifts for Your Recently Engaged Friend(s)


1. A fun card
If you're lucky enough to live in Asheville, you've got the perfect place for a cute &/or hilarious card for any event....Whist on Haywood Road.

2. A ring dish
Again, Whist has a great selection, but this cute little guy is from Anthropologie.


3. A bridal magazine to get the collection started
There are too many great bridal magazines out there to name... some that cater to DIY ideas, regional,  niche, etc. but The Knot is a great place to start.


4. For the bride who will readily admit that Bey is a Queen, the Feyoncé tank


5. Cold feet socks by Groom Socks via Etsy
Whether it's her or him, they're bound to experience that moment of doubt.
Forever? Are you sure? 


6. Ikat monogram letters from Anthropologie
Find a letter that represents the last name they'll soon share.


7. Don'ts for Husbands & Wives from Paper Source
Mini books that contain entertaining advice for a happy marriage.

8. Share a Coke
Take advantage of the times... how easy is that?


9. A nice smelling candle is always a crowd pleaser.
Duncan & York of Asheville has/had my personal favorite--Produce candles:



10. Last but not least, for the animal lovers, the I Do Too bandana



Cheers to love and friendship!
