Isn't this a gorgeous ensemble? I totally want to wear something similar to the wedding shower. I cannot find the original source but it seems it was originally uploaded to Pinterest <---(check out my style board here).

Wedding Bloom
Sorry for the late post! I was unable to pull together the one I had planned for last night because I got a call that my wedding dress came in early and went to try it on!! While I am definitely not posting a picture of the dress (which I finally have), I will say that a crinoline slip and a head piece were purchased...very excited!

Weekend Tidbits
Friday night dinner at Harmony Grill in Lakeview with Nicole & Victor (Alex's sister and her husband).

I started with OPI Glitzerland and Overexposed In South Beach

Save the Dates
So the future hubbs finished up grad school for architecture almost 3 weeks ago. (Phew, am I glad that's over!) One of the perks of marrying an architect is that they are quite handy with a computer and a laser cutter.

Sparkling Taupe: The Beginning
Welcome to Sparkling Taupe! I am in love with creating! I tend to go a bit stir crazy unless I am crafting or making something. With my upcoming nuptials, my brain has been in project hyper-drive so I decided to start a blog to release some of my pent-up creative energy.
