To fuel up before our appointment with the florist, I grabbed a strawberry Chobani Greek yogurt.
Strawberry Greek Yogurt
I had never tried this flavor before so I was excited when I saw that my mom stocked up on a variety of Chobani flavors. The strawberry flavor is my new favorite (I still haven’t had the pineapple!). It was creamy, sweet and very satisfying.
I also shared a big smoothie with Ryan.
Berry Smoothie
Into the smoothie went:
- Blueberry Chobani Greek yogurt
- Frozen strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries
- Banana
- Milk
- One scoop of vanilla protein powder
It was cold, thick and delicious.
With adequate fuel in our bellies, we took off to meet the florist. The appointment went really well. We explained the color scheme we like and selected flowers, bouquets and boutonnieres that we thought would make our day oh-so-beautiful. We’ll hear back from the florist with a proposal and price points. I think we’ll definitely be able to go with the guy we met and keep the flowers within our budget. Success! 🙂
Lunch
We came home and enjoyed a quick lunch of turkey sandwiches with Food Should Taste Good olive tortilla chips and salsa.
Simple Lunch
Olive Chips
Yummy
It was a simple lunch and provided me with the energy I didn’t realize I’d need to try on dresses for nearly four hours!
Dress Shopping
We first stopped at a boutique shop where I tried on a handful of unbelievably gorgeous gowns. I fell in love with two… both semi-formfitting, but with a little bit of “pick up” at the end. (Maggie Sottero makes some phenomenal dresses.) I have some seriously difficult decisions to make!
We then drove to another shop where I tried on a bunch of dresses that were… meh. Nothing special. I think my heart was stuck on the dresses from the first shop.
Rest of the Night
Now we’re chillin’ out on the couch watching the season finale of The Biggest Loser that my mom taped for us. We have an appointment with a potential photographer at 7:45 p.m. Afterward we may drive around and look at Christmas lights! Fun, fun!
Hope ya’ll are enjoing your weekend!

Glad you had fun dress shopping!!! I remember bringing TONS of snacks with me when I went because I was so concerned it would zap all my energy.. lol. The only bride to be with a baggie of trail mix standing in front of the mirror.
I love those chips.. yummyl lunch choice!! 🙂
Maggie Sottero is AMAZING!!!! You definitely can not go wrong with her! Glad you had a fun day! 🙂
ugh, I hated wedding dress shopping!! It seriously stressed me out. It sounds like you’re loving it though 🙂 Maggie dresses are beautiful. If I hadn’t fallen in love with the dress I ended up with, I probably would’ve gotten one of those.
Enjoy the wedding planning even if it seems stressful/tiring. It’ll be over before you know it!!
wedding shopping seems so fun! you are going to be a beautiful bride 🙂
& that smoothie looks aweosme

Dress shopping?! Sounds SO FUN to this non-bride-to-be, although I can definitely imagine it being stressful.. Have a great night!

SO exciting, I was just watching say yes to the dress the othernight with my mom and it looks so much fun! I can;t wait 🙂
delicious simple lunch, love it! I need to try those chips!!
I MISS THE SUN!!!
One tip from a former bride. Get a dress that you can go to the bathroom *alone* in!!! So much easier than convincing 3 of your poor bridesmaids to help hold it while you pee.
Maggie Sottero dresses are beautiful! I almost got one for my wedding, but fell in love with another.
Maggie Sottero makes some lovely dresses. Good luck deciding!
Post pictures of the wedding dresses! I want to see!
