Wedding Dress Shopping - Charleston, SC

{King St. in Charleston, SC}

It's been a while! I've been pretty busy this month...plenty to write about but just not enough time.  Anywho - 2 weeks ago I went down to Charleston, SC to find THE dress (I'll go ahead and tell you I was successful!!).  I've always wanted to make a weekend out of it - just the girls - brunch, champagne, shopping, and a few wedding dresses thrown into the mix.

{Brunch & a round of mimosas at High Cotton Restaurant to start of the day!}

I must add that Sandy (Paul's mom), Jenny and I woke up on 3:30am that morning and flew down to Charleston - by the time we arrived at the hotel to meet up with everyone - we had already been up and moving for 7 hours!!!  We were all troopers and kept going the entire day - including dinner at Social Wine Bar that night!

{My cousin, Ashley, and Jenny - so glad they were there with me!}

It was suchhhh a perfect weekend - I couldn't have worked out any better. 

Last weekend Paul and I went back down South to Alabama for a wedding.  It was so fun to see all of my college girlfriends again... and I will be seeing them next weekend at the AU/UGA game in Athens!! 
War Eagle!

We are doing a low key/stay local (finally) weekend.  Date night tonight - then dinner with Paul's fam on Saturday and Church on Sunday...(and I managed to fit in a massage appt while Paul is playing golf on Sat AM - we are both pumped). 

Happyyyyyy Fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - finally.
