Wedding Flowers
The major theme of this wedding is keeping everything as local as possible. For the wedding flowers what could be more local than our front yard, a whole four blocks from the ceremony site. While I don't expect every flower to come from our own dirt, I do hope that we can have a large enough crop to adorn the tables at the reception. So far these little sprouts are enjoying our bout of California weather... cross your fingers for continued success!

Cake!
Wedding planning most definitely has its stressful moments, but one of the exciting thing that comes with all the planning is tasting the food. Even better than food? Cake. After meeting with Holly from Couture Cakes we got to take home a few cupcakes to try. Lets just say I can't wait for our wedding cake{s}!

BHLDN
It was a very happy Valentine's Day and now it is officially less than three months until the wedding...Wow!
Yesterday was also the opening of the online wedding store BHLDN (pronounced 'beholden'), and can I just say.... dreamy. Though would you expect much else from Anthropologie? Here are a few pieces I'm lusting over:
Invitation production continues!

Hotel Indigo
This past weekend Travis and I had the privilege to stay at the Hotel Indigo before it opens on February 17th. Some friends of ours helped make the hotel a reality, and hosted guests for two nights in an effort to get feedback on the rooms, experience, atmosphere, and any quirks that might be lurking. Being that Hotel Indigo is one of the main hotels for wedding guests we couldn't turn down the offer.
Our findings? Pretty fabulous.
Pictures of defining local icons are blown up to adorn the walls, making it feel like the hotel was actually meant to be in Baton Rouge. The downstairs bar/restaurant has huge picture windows, which becomes a prime location to sit for a drink and watch the sunset over the river. But what really sold it for me was the shower heads. Yes that's plural. For someone that often has to crouch under a too-short shower head that has mediocre pressure let me tell you.... I was sold!
Though they don't open until February 17th everyone is more than welcome to book their room for the wedding now. For more information check out the Hotel Indigo website and our accommodations page.

Inspiration
It has taken months of paging through magazines and getting lost in blog after blog, but when it comes to this wedding I know exactly what I want. While I'm not sweating, some might be a little concerned of how it will all materialize on the big day. For a glimpse into what I'm dreaming up in my head, check out some of these images from my favorite wedding blogs.
