Weekending | Photo Shoots & Picnics


Welcome back to Monday friends! I’d say both Friday night and Sunday were the perfect relaxing book ends to an absolutely full and exciting Saturday! Here’s a few fun moments from the weekend.

Trying out a new to us restaurant called The Regal Beagle on Friday night 





We split the hummus plate which was delicious and you can tell was freshly made and I tried the vegetable bolognese – I have to be honest I really wanted the Mac & Cheese, but that came later this weekend! 




Saturday was the big photo shoot day with Valerie from VS Photography! If you follow me on snapchat (@blovedboston) you saw some of the set and a few of the setups. We’ve partnered with Valerie and few other vendors for a really fun Bridal Pop Up Event on June 25th!! There will definitely be more details to come, but this was the start of our fun! 





After a full day from 7:00 AM to almost 2:30 PM I was exhausted, but nothing a little picnic in the park couldn’t fix! 






Messy fishtail braid, 70 degree weather and some Stoked Pizza – pretty perfect Saturday night!





We ventured into Somerville & Cambridge on Sunday afternoon. Mostly for the Local First Spring Market which was a much smaller scale SOWA, but we had a fun time supporting local artists.



 


A quick brunch at Five Horses Tavernwhere I finally had my Mac & Cheese fix, followed by a much needed manicure and some relaxing! I’ve also been reading like a machine these last couple of weeks afterposting my reading guide. I’ve already finished Thirty Days to Thirty and Chasing Harry Winston and am half way throughLove and Miss Communication. After I finish a few more I’m definitely going to be a full recap post!

How was your weekend? Link up below to share with us! Hope you have a great start to your week! I’ve got a few fun posts coming up this week including a delicious recipe & my go-to dress dress for special occasions and events this week!

    Um, yes to that first picture: adulting is so hard! (Currently sipping a cup of coffee as I write this.) All of that food looks and sounds to die for!

    How beautiful are those laced crop tops paired with the tulle skirts!? Swoon! The desserts look SO delicious, too, I can't wait for you to share more about the pop up! I'm telling you, you always have the most delicious food, that hummus looks beyond delicious and you can definitely tell it's homemade just by looking at, I'm sure it was delish! I also can't wait for you to share your thoughts on the books you've read, especially Love and Miss Communication, that was one of the ones I was most interested in when you shared that you'd be reading it in your other post! Thanks so much for sharing your weekend with us, beautiful, I always look forward to reading! Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!

    Ah! I totally get you girl on that mac & cheese craving! We road tripped this weekend and all I wanted was a frosty from Wendy's but we never found one on our way there. I made my husband make it our mission to hunt one down on the way home and we did! I didn't stop thinking about it all weekend long. Ha. Also, that bridal popup looks so fun! Your photoshoot seems like it was a blast! Glad you had a great weekend!
