Hello! Happy Monday! I hope all of you were able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather we had in New England this past weekend. Enjoy the highlights!
- Friday night sushi from New Ginza in Watertown- this totally hit the spot!
- Super energetic class on Saturday morning! And, I loveddd that some of the gym girls came!
- RM and I went for a super long walk on Saturday afternoon.
- Later that day RM dropped me off at my friend Amy’s brother’s apartment above Boston Chops in the South End and we had a girls night complete with a pretty awesome array of food… and bubbly!
- Sunday morning pancakes- enough said.
- We went for another long walk after breakfast
- I went food shopping and prepped a roast chicken meal to have throughout the week
- I also bought myself flowers because when WF has $6 tulips, you don’t pass it up!
- I worked on my Box FIIT certification and submitted a few videos which felt good. Mid-afternoon I broke for a run- it was too beautiful not to! 3.75 miler with sub 8-min. splits- the wine and the cheese the night before must’ve been good fuel!
- We ended up going to the Chateau in Waltham for dinner and it was fantastic!
Wedding Updates: The Flowers
My friend Jen works at Watertown Main Street Flowers and when she heard I was engaged she said I should stop in to discuss options for the wedding. I had pinned a bunch of options and the owner pulled them up in preparation for our meeting which was great. All along I’ve wanted the details of the wedding to be simple- no wedding colors (hate that), very simplistic decorations and flowers, small wedding party, etc. Therefore, the flowers I pinned were all of the white varietal.
My bouquet will be similar to this, but with green hydrangeas instead of white to add a little color.
My sister’s bouquet will be a variation of this: 
and then the guy’s boutonnieres will be this the corsages will be 3 of these flowers.
For the centerpieces, we are going to spray paint mason jars gold and then do a combination of daisies and babies breath to keep with the white theme. Plus, they are super durable flowers and inexpensive 😉 It feels so good have this checked off the list!! I can’t wait!
And that about does it! I hope you all have a great week- check in with you later!
Questions for you: What was something fun you did over the weekend? Did you go out at all? Did you do anything to enjoy the nice weather? Have anything planned this week?
Burpees to Bubbly 
Your flower ideas are super pretty! I love the idea of the gold mason jars! Spent most of the weekend celebrating my hubbys birthday with our family and friends! It was so fun but I am tired today 😀

Thank you!! I think it will look really nice and simple. Weekends like that are always hard to recover from- hope you had a great time! xo
Simple and elegant–what is better than that!!!
my thoughts exactly, Jean!
Love your flower choices, especially your bouquet!
Thanks Cathy! I think they will come out great!
I need to get a small group of girls or even one person to just do home workouts with me! I’m too broke to go out to classes but still want the camaraderie. I love tulips! And my wedding flowers were pretty basic too, best to keep it nice and simple…no one (but maybe you) remembers the flowers from a wedding!
I totally get it! A lot of the girls here workout together but I always seem to be on my own when I go to classes and do my own workouts. I don’t mind it most of the time but sometimes I get lonely! I totally agree- simple is the theme of my wedding!
your flower choices are so pretty!! I have a spray painted gold mason jar on my dining room table as a vase – it was leftover from a party. fun choice. glad you had a nice weekend and spent a lot of time outdoors! it was nice getting back to Boston and having it feel like spring
Thank you!! Yeah I feel like people can totally reuse them after the wedding. Welcome home!!
