I especially love lunch dates when the weather is gorgeous and you can enjoy your meal al fresco.
I met up with two of my former coworkers, Ryan and Ashley, at Caffé Ritazza in downtown Orlando. I enjoyed a yummy salad while we chatted away outside.
Outside Salad
My salad included:
- Romaine
- Beets
- Carrots
- Celery
- Cucumber
- Mushrooms
- Broccoli
- Onion
- Salsa
Using salsa as a salad dressing is one of my favorite ways to kick a salad up a notch. Salsa brings a lot of moisture, flavor and yummy nutrients to the table.
When I got back to my desk at work, I snacked on a small baggie of pistachios I packed this morning.
Wedding Hair Piece
Okay you fashion-forward ladies! I need your help.
As you may remember from my post on my wedding day hair and makeup trial, I am planning on wearing a pink flower in my hair on my wedding day.
My Wedding Hair
(The pink flower will replace the yellow one in the above picture.)
My veil will peek out underneath my up-do, just in case you were curious about how that will work. I am wearing this veil I had made by an Etsy designer and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. (It is due on my doorstep on October 22.)
Anyway, I am having some reservations about the pink flower I currently have to wear in my hair.
This is the pink flower I currently have:
Option One
I love it, but it’s a little big.
I am considering buying another option…
I think this one is gorgeous:
Option Two
And this one appeals to me too:
Option Three
Now I ask you…
Which pink flower hair piece do you like best? The first, second or third flower?

3 is gorgeous!
I like the idea of using a real flower. Every time I’ve seen that done it has added an elegant touch, and it’s not expensive either!
I like the multiple tones in number 1. If it’s the same size as the green one, I say go for it! But frankly, whatever you choose will look amazing.
Option two for the win.
Your hair looks gorgeous in that photograph. I almost want to bookmark it to stash away in my wedding idea file! haha.
You are going to be such a beautiful bride!!
#2 is my favorite! I love how it has the white with it to match the veil. so pretty!
The first one!!!! Def!
All 3 are beautiful and whichever one you pick, you are going to be drop dead gorgeous so it won’t really matter, but I definitely like number 1 the best. I say, the bigger the better! You have a lot of hair so it shouldn’t overpower your updo.
They’re all so beautiful, but I think I’m going to have to go with #3
Either way, you are going to be a beautiful bride!
I like 1 and 2, but it’s hard to tell the size difference! I don’t think you can go wrong, whichever you choose! 🙂
option 2!!
I loveee the 1st one!! All of them are gorgeous but that one really seems to pop 🙂
It was so good to catch up with you today — so I just had to visit the new look of your blog. I love it that we’re all in such good places now! Until the post-wedding lunch…
PS: I may also have to try that meatloaf recipe!
Option two looks the best, but option one is more worth the price 🙂 Good luck choosing!
Def. no to three. Two is the most bridal, but I don’t think one is too big.
I don’t think you could go wrong with ANY of them!
2!
i like #3 the best because it is a bit different but still delicate and feminine–#1 is very pretty two, but no matter what, you’ll be happy and look beautiful on your day :o)
NUMBA ONE!!
most definitely option 1…it is the most beautifully natural one and i think you being a natural beauty it would suit you perfectly 🙂
why put a fake flower in your hair if it looks fake? you want it to look real!
I like 1 and three! however note: i LOVE plain jane stuff so i’m not sure if that went into the option . The colors seem very mellow and I like that. It’s cute and feminine looking.
…ah i just went back and looked at two, and i really like that one as well! haha.
i’d say two or three actually.
I love #1, but I have to say #3 reminds me of the shoes you posted. They’d be gorgeous together!
3
I think two is the most bridal and it’s beautiful! Any will look gorgeous in your pretty hairdo.
option 1- it looks the most like a real flower!
Option 2!
I love love love option 1 – and when else are you going to be able to wear a gorgeous big flower in your hair?! I also love the look of option 1…looks the most “natural”…but #2 is very bridal and classy, too 🙂
Option 2. It is very classy and it will look best with the veil….which is beautiful by the way!
Option ONE. I’m not sure why 2 is winning so clearly here…I think it would be lovelier to have a flower that looks real, which number 1 does, and number 2 clearly doesn’t…
I LOVE option 2. It definitely looks the most classic and elegant.
If you end up sticking with option 1, have you considered maybe pulling/cutting out some of the outside petals to make it smaller? You could also buy mini-pearls at a craft store and sew/glue them in too make it more elegant like option 2.
option 2 is sure beautiful but I think option 3 matches your shoes best because of the color and fabric. 🙂
#2 is beautiful! Congratulations- can’t wait to see pictures!
Option 1 is my favorite!
I like #2 the best. Then, I’d say one, then three. 🙂 Good luuck!
I think #2 is the most “wedding” like. The veil is so beautiful!!!
I love option two! 🙂
I love the second one!
I like all of them and it’s hard to tell which one looks best without seeing it with your dress! However, I think Option 2 looks the most elegant! I like how Option 1 has a little bit of yellow in it because it makes it more cheerful, and I also like how Option 3 has so many thin layers…it looks so delicate. Whichever option you pick, you can’t go wrong!
I know everyone is a fan of 2 but it looks a little too fake for me. I’m a fan of 3 because the petals have such an airy and romantic look, unless it’s utterly ginormous:) I can’t tell from the pic. Good luck! How nice that you’re down to making hair piece decisions.
Can I throw another option into the loop? How about a a beautiful real flower?
It’s a tie between #1 and #2 for me 🙂 Both are so pretty and classic! LOVE the hairstyle by the way!
I love number two. It has an ethereal look and also follows the delicate look of your shoes.
Number one for sure!!
I love option 2!! Will go great with your shoes!
I am a new reader and just catching up on your wedding posts..(since I’m getting married this year) which one did you go with? They are all amazing!!
i actually went with an all-white one like option #2! you can see pics on the wedding tab above!
I like this its very loveable thank you
