Happy Monday friends!! We finally had two nice days worth of weather so you know that means everyone, myself included, spent as much time outside as possible!! Between Friday night relaxing, wedding coordination & Sunday Funday – it felt like this weekend was only a few hours long!
Sam Edelman Espadrilles (30% off right now)
Jackie & I sometimes work with a florist here in Boston that books us to assist with the reception coordination & we were really excited for this weekends’ wedding at Glen Magna Farms. This is one of those venues that when the weather is truly perfect, it makes the wedding even more magical because it’s all outdoors. The ceremony took place in what can only be described as a Parisian garden infused with New England charm- beautiful flowers & stone arches that made the backdrop gorgeous!!
The focal point of the reception was definitely the flower / escort card wall! This was dreamed up by the bride & brought to life by the florist!! You may have seen a few behind the scenes stories on Instagram of it coming together!! The guest book was filled with instax mini photos & the backdrop was the beautiful flower wall!
All real flowers!!
Checkout the sweetheart table – some of the most unique flowers went into that arrangement!
Since my weekend was basically one day I was going to take full advantage of the amazing weather! G’s only request this summer is that I attempt to learn how to ride a bike so that we can explore not only Boston but other cities on a bike! We went over to Kendall Square in Cambridge and rode along the Charles River Bike Path! I’m happy to report that after Santa Barbara and a few times on a bike since – I feel confident in my abilities!
We tried out a new Legal Seafood concept out in Kendall Square – Legal Fish Bowl. You basically build your own bowl and add whatever protein like tuna, salmon, shrimp or chicken – it’s sort of like chipotle for seafood – so pretty much my heaven! We ended up walking all over the city – sweating the entire time, but we’ve been patiently waiting for summer to arrive so the heat was welcome! Oh and those espadrilles, totally held up without so much as a blister for over 16,000 steps – that’s close to 7 miles of walking!
How was your weekend friends? Link up below to share it with us and hope you have a great start to the week!

What a beautiful wedding venue!! And those flowers are all gorgeous!! I'm gonna have to check and see if they have anything similar to Legal Fish Bowl in Dallas because that sounds amazing! Have a great Monday!!
I am still rushing in those espadrilles! And that wedding venue is absolutely gorgeous. Yay for learning to ride! It's been years since I have but now that the boys are starting to learn, I want to get a bike of my own! Happy Monday!
*crushing :))
What a gorgeous venue! Definitely New England charm! All the arrangements are so pretty too! Love the idea of Legal Fish Bowl, how fun! Happy Monday!

i cant get over that venue and those flowers. the color palette is just to die for! and i'm stoked you're learning to ride! i swear i can bike but not in a straight line so i probably need practice myself haha.

The wedding looked so lovely, love all the flowers. And your pictures are always so beautiful.
Such a gorgeous wedding! That wall is going to be all over Pinterest! I love your wedding posts! Yay for learning to ride a bike! I need to figure that out again because it's so fun to get around (and burn calories!)
That flower wall is so beautiful! It sounds like you definitely made the most out of your shorter weekend, and good for you for riding a bike! I'm definitely not the most coordinated person and don't know if I'll ever feel comfortable on a bike!
Wow, the wedding reception looks absolutely beautiful, definitely my cup of tea with all the gorgeous and unique flowers! Girl, I don't feel as bad now because I have nearly zero skills at riding a bike, lol. It's crazy because growing up, I was ALWAYS on my bike going around the neighborhood. I hadn't ridden one in years, until we went on vacation to Cozumel, Mexico and Eddie wanted to do a tour on bikes. When I tell you I nearly knocked off the mirrors on all the parked cars on the side of the road, I'm not kidding, lol. It was so scary, but I have to try and get familiar again because like Gary, Eddie wants to be on bikes this summer :/ Anyway, that Legal Fish Bowl restaurant sounds AMAZING and one I'd surely love, too! Thanks so much for sharing your weekend recap with us, beauty, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!

A bike ride is the perfect way to spend a summer day! I love your espadrilles and that venue is so gorgeous!
Legal Fish sounds like a cool concept. The venue for that wedding is stunning, and all the flowers are just gorgeous!!!!!! I think it would be awesome to explore cities on a bike. Birmingham has this new concept that started last summer where there are bikes all over the city that you can rent for a few hours or you can have a membership card and ride them an unlimited amount of time. There are stations all over the city, especially in the most trafficked areas that you can grab one. I want to do a brewery tour with them one day!
Perfect wedding weekend and weather! Those florals are to die for… and I am loving your super cute outfit! Great post!

Oh my goodness, that wedding venue is positively gorgeous! So picturesque!
Girl you always have the best weekends! That wedding venue is so breathtaking – I miss those huge old mansions from the East coast so much – we don't have them over here. Also loving that biking outfit. Your top is adorable!

I love those espadrilles. I love the flower wall – great idea and great execution.
And yes, you definitely need to learn to ride a bike. it opens up the city for you in a way you can't imagine otherwise – better scenery than driving and gets you to more places, faster than walking.
I'm so happy it's finally sunny and warm (aka hot, haha), but no complaints after spring we so lackluster this year. The wedding looked so gorgeous– what a stunning location & those flowers! So glad the bike riding went well– it's such a fun way to explore.
Sounds like a great weekend! Love the flower wall that the bride designed. So beautiful. Yay for learning to ride a bike again!
What a fun weekend! Those flowers are beautiful and love the backdrop! Yay for being confident on a bike and for the warm weather to ride in!
Xoxo,

Um that tablescape and those gardens are gorgeous! Loved your outfit too! Glad you had a great weekend and happy Monday! xo
Gorgeous venue! And those flower arrangements…wow!! xx
I knew I'd love this post from the title. I too don't know how to ride a bike and neither does my husband so either my brother or dad will teach my daughter. Your espadrilles are gorgeous, especially next to those pretty flowers. And what a beautiful wedding girl.
That fish place sounds like something I would love. Believe it nor not I have never had Chipotle but we have one pretty close by so I need to try it soon.
Happy MonSlay!
hooooray for bike rides!!! I'm glad you agreed to learn how to ride a bike! it's the best way to explore 😉 xo jillian – cornflake dreams
What an absolutely gorgeous wedding! It looks like you had a wonderful weekend, and I'm loving your espadrilles!

I want to try that Legal Fish Bowl place!! and you're brave biking in boston; I stick to the stationary bike at the gym.
That wedding venue looked like a Parisian dream 🙂 Good for you for the bike learning! It's so much fun to see a new spot that way instead of walking. Happy Monday!

Sounds like a great weekend. The venue was gorgeous.
And yay for you and your biking skills.
So excited you learned to ride a bike! That wedding location..wow! Hope you have a super week.
The wedding flowers are amazing and I love that flower wall! Every since Kim and Kanye did one I keep trying to think of a reason to have one ha! Maybe my next birthday! Great job on the bike riding!

The flower wall is INCREDIBLE. Dreamy.
Re-learning how to ride a bike as an adult is like whoa. LOL
What a gorgeous venue especially with perfect weather! Adore the flower centerpieces and the escort wall…how gorgeous and unique! I've never seen one like that before…so Pinterest pretty. Awesome Gary wanted you to learn how to ride a bike so you can start exploring more…it's no easy task at first. I haven't been on a bike in years but it is fun and good exercise once you get going.

What a gorgeous venue!! It looks like you had a beautiful weekend 🙂
I cant get over how perfect all of those flowers are! And how fun that you learned to ride a bike!!! I make my husband ride a tandem with me– allows me to do less work 😉
This sounds like a perfect future, you looked so gorgeous!
