Weekending | Mother’s Day Edition


Happy Monday lovelies!! Thank you all so much for the positive vibes for our event launch last Thursday and your sweet words for the new design!!! You all are just so overwhelmingly nice ~ THANK YOU!! I also wanted to mention that something weird has been going on with my Bloglovin and my posts are not updating as I post them, so if you follow me on Google Friend Connect (GFC) you’ll see it right away – I also added that widget to my sidebar…I do post Monday through Friday πŸ™‚ 




Now that we have that out of the way – let’s get on to the recap! 




Spring Dress Party

Bespoke Boston Weddings and Events


We were all about details for this event and wanted brides, friends and family to see that!! Our business cards and custom water labels were made by the incredibly talented Lynn from The Inviting Company. We invited three of our favorite Boston Bloggers to be the models for the night and Shauna, Georgina and Sarah could not have been more beautiful!

A huge thank you to Amanda from Fabulous Frocks Boston for opening up her gorgeous store for the event! Without her stunning gowns there would have been no reason to have a Spring Dress Party!! We could not have been luckier to have Matthew, from Matthew Jason Photography as our photographer for the evening because he truly captured some fun moments and has a wonderful eye for details! 

Bespoke Boston Weddings and Events


Through looking at all these photos I’ve realized my “arm pop” is out of control!! 


My mom and I spent some quality time together on Saturday doing what we do best…shopping! I did something really out of character for myself – I bought this Longchamp bag and then promptly returned it and now I’m thinking about it again! I actually wanted to buy this bag in Paris and when I went back to get it someone had already bought it – then I couldn’t find the style and sort of forgot about it and then Saturday saw it again…so here were are again, I’m still thinking about it and this time just waiting for it to go on sale and I’m going to get it! Sorry…that was really long winded! 


Ended up winding down the evening with a delicious glass of Riesling. 

BLoved Boston


Sunday we spent the day with my parents and sister and could not have had a more beautiful day – it hit 86 degrees and we clearly skipped Spring! 


After eating a little bit of this….

You can find me at the gym this week!! 




How was your weekend? Hope you’ll link up below to share with us

    I LOVED all of the details from the party!! And I'm so glad you enjoyed Sunday with beautiful weather. We did too! Oh, and I hope your bag goes on sale so you can snag it again. I'd like one too!!

    SO glad the event went amazing, I knew it would! And you looked gorgeous! And glad you and your mom had a great weekend. That bag is so cute and my philosophy on shopping is, if you see it and love it but can't decide whether to get it, walk away. If you're still thinking about it later and you go back and it's there, it was meant to be πŸ˜‰ Happy Monday love!

    So glad that the event went well!!! Sounds like you had a great weekend (it did totally skip over Spring and head right into Summer–we have a 90 degree day this week!) Love the bag that you bought…then returned haha. I think you are having reverse buyer's remorse where you regret NOT getting something. Definitely get it if/when it goes on sale!
    So glad you had a nice weekend! πŸ™‚

    Looks like an awesome weekend! I'm so glad your event was a success – it looked great! I bought a Longchamp bag from the Saks outlet, it was definitely cheaper than at a regular department store. I use it all the time – it seems pricy for a simple bag, but they really are well made.
