Where have I been, you ask? Planning a wedding! Whew, its lots of work...and so much fun! I wanted to share a little sneak peek of all the wonderfulness to come, so, for those of you who are coming to the wedding, act surprised! Our colors will be Robins Egg, Grass, Pumpkin, & Chocolate. We have chosen The Barr Mansion & Artisan Ballroom for the ceremony and reception. Its gorgeous, and happens to be a green facility.
Here are some awesome green facts about Barr Mansion:
- The nations first and ONLY Certified Organic events facility
