Happy Monday friends! This is going to be a bit of a hodgepodge of Weekending post because half my weekend was spent coordinating the last wedding before baby & that didn’t leave time for a lot of other things! So let’s get to a few non-professional photos from the wedding at one of the most beautiful venues in New England, Wentworth By the Sea!
First look was in this beautiful gazebo
The floral arch was crazy beautiful and then repurposed for the reception. Florals done by Floral Lab
Beautiful mix of high & low centerpieces
We are in the middle of a bit of a heatwave here and doing my best to stay inside, but Sunday early afternoon we had to get out of the house so of course I requested Shake Shack!
Didn’t get much while shopping, but this sign spoke to me – especially since what I did buy was makeup related!
New dress came in right in time for the 4th this week!
If you’re planning on lots of pool time this week, these are definitely fun reads!
Lie to Me || What a read! Think Gone Girl with way more twists! Ethan and Sutton seemingly have it all in their perfect house with their perfect life, but of course that’s not their reality. Plagued with lies and betrayals, everything comes to the front when Sutton leaves a note saying that she needs time to think and to not look for her! Did she really just leave on her own accord, is Ethan responsible – all their lies start to come out as the investigation into her disappearance moves forward! It’s about 300 or so pages and I honestly couldn’t wait to keep reading the book – definitely a page turner!
The Foxe & Hound || Another Kindle Unlimited book – this was fun and lighthearted and just a bit steamy! Adam is new to town and also happens to be one of the only available men in the small town. Madeline is has lived in the small Texas town her entire life and it shows by her tinder profile since she has resorted to expanding her search for a few towns over. Madeline’s dog just may be the matchmaker that she needs because Adam is the new vet! Mixed signals and blurred lines – make this the perfect chick lit book!
The Fortunate Ones || The second R.S. Grey novel that I’ve read and it was cute, light and fun. Brooke works as a cabana girl at the country club where Austin’s most elite crowd hangs out – including James Atwood who happens to take a liking to her. Even though their age difference and their five year plans are extremely different – they still somehow can’t stay away from one another! There was an unexpected twist that I really liked and it would be the perfect pool / beach reach!
Hoping everyone enjoys the week and the 4th of July festivities!
What a beautiful wedding! All the flowers are just stunning. And such a cute stripe dress for the Fourth! Super excited for the book recommendations. You know I always love those! Happy Monday, BIana!

The florals for that wedding are absolutely gorgeous! I love how they did the arch! And we are getting a Shake Shack in AL and I cannot wait! I've never eaten at one so I'm really excited since I hear it's a really good place 🙂

What a beautiful wedding!
Thanks for recommending Lie To Me. I'm going to add it to my TBR list.
That picture of the bride and groom is gorgeous – the flowers are insane and I love how she used a long ribbon for the bouquet – so pretty!
What a beautiful wedding! Ugh shake shack! I have never had it, we are getting one at our airport, hopefully that means we get a free standing one! I need to check out Lie to Me, sounds right up my alley! Enjoy your holiday!
That wedding was gorgeous!! My mom wants to go somewhere cooler for her birthday, so I was looking at Wentworth by the Sea after you reminded me about it! You're looking great, girlie!! I can't believe your little one is going to be here soon and you're all over the place doing all the things. You're kind of my hero!!
Such a gorgeous wedding- those flowers are insanely pretty!
Hope you had a great 4th, sister!

I feel like I've heard of Lie To Me, and I'm definitely going to add it to my list. It seems right up my alley! I also keep on hearing great things about The Fox & The Hound too, but let's face it, just RS Grey in general! The last wedding y'all did is gorgeous, especially all of those flowers!
This is a brilliant post! I never got a summer glow this year, which I don’t mind but great post for those who want to keep it!

It was crazy hot and humid that weekend, as it was Aviah's birthday party outdoors, so I remember all too well, lol! I'm glad things have been cooling down though. I love hot summer days, but I'll pass on the humidity. I love your cute new dress it looks so good on you and great with the LV bag. The wedding also looked amazing; I love the center pieces and the cake! Thanks for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have a great week ahead!
XO,
