I know some of you only care about the coffee talk posts and my extremely witty commentary, and hey, who can blame you, I’m hilarious, and few things are more important in life than this week’s TV and celebrity gossip….But the wedding posts excite me, and I have a lot of pics, so just X out and come back the next day in search of celeb gossip if need be 🙂 I’m trying to figure out the best way to share all of the wedding events without having it span over too much time.
For today, the Bridesmaids Luncheon!
It kicked off the wedding weekend officially on Friday and it was absolutely amazing. One of my mom’s best friends hosted it at her gorgeous home in the Virginia Highlands and it was the perfect start. We relaxed, drank, ate amazing southern treats (I’m still waiting for the tomato pie recipe and I’ll share! it was so good!), and never stopped smiling. I was so happy to have everyone together in one place. I think that is one of the best part about the wedding — having your friends from all different places and parts of your life be together in one place.

the amazing hosts
Now I can finally share what I gave them as bridesmaids gifts!
I found an etsy shop that does monogrammed longchamp bags
(knock off longchamps of course, and they are really good knock offs! it shocked me when I opened them…. I wish I had ordered one for myself and probably will! )
Inside the bag I had monogrammed stationary and monogrammed shirts for them to get ready in.
the vendors on etsy I used were great to work with:
more to come… rehearsal dinner, wedding day, honeymoon…..
soooo hopefully you like weddings as much as you like drinking and watching andy cohen.
Such a fun weekend, I want to do it all over again
I think I've gone Etsy crazy with my bridesmaids. I haven't purchased something from Etsy in about a week and that's a record as of right now 🙂
What a beautiful group of women! Pretty purchases and I love your dress!
love seeing more of your wedding details! those monogrammed bags are stunning, i might need one!

Loved your dress and you look so happy!!
So fantastic! Congratulations.
Looks amazing so far, and from what I've seen on Instagram, it just gets better! I'm loving the wedding recaps! Obviously love Coffee Talk, but hello, this was your wedding, it most definitely deserves some blog time.
First of all, I absolutely LOVE your dress! It is so gorgeous! Also, I'm getting married in November and I want to get those monogrammed shirts for my bridesmaids! Did you get one size for everyone? I like the oversized look that your bridesmaids had. Thanks!!
Thank you!! The shirt sizes were in mens sizes, so I ordered some smalls for the girls and some mediums for the taller girls. They still had to wear shorts underneath but the sizing worked out well!
What a fun day! I love all the details and I'm obsessed with your dress!! What Etsy shop did you get those bags from?? I need to get myself one!
thank you!!! 🙂 hey're from here ::
