Okay, so we’re not really going to a chapel, but we are getting married this Sunday!  Thank you to all of you for holding my hand throughout this crazy process.  You’ve given so much great advice from the dress, to the jewels to the nail varnish—I couldn’t have done it without you!  John and I are beyond excited for the big day.  We’ll be honeymooning in Hawaii for a week, but I’ll be back August 2nd with lots of photos!  In the meantime enjoy some daily quotes about L-O-V-E.  Can’t wait to return officially Mrs. Katie Armour : )

Rikshaw Design is having a SALE (yippee!) on a variety of their block-printed goodies and I am swooning over this lali elephant pillow.  I mean really, could it be any cuter?  No, I think not.

These cast stone tufted ottomans by Colleen & Company may just be the most fantastic piece of garden furniture I’ve ever seen.  I love how they’ve used a classic skirted design and made it modern by using an unconventional material.  Wouldn’t they look chic on your lawn holding a tray of mint juleps?

The new fall J.Crew catalog is out and these images from the “Simply Iconic” spread made my heart flutter.  I just love all those whites with tiny pops of red, khaki, tortoise, and plaid.  Now, whether to be daring and wear red nails in the wedding on Sunday….?

Tomorrow is our big engagement shoot (better late than never!) with Cooper Carras and his lovely assistant, Ali.  I’ve been corresponding with them for months via email and am so excited to finally meet face to face.  The duo has shot weddings from Argentina to Indonesia so we’re beyond flattered they agreed to take part in our humble little nuptials.  These fun candid shots taken from their website had me at hello.  Cooper’s work is so beautiful—I just hope our modeling skills don’t disappoint!

These illustrations by Mexican artist Melissa Chaib are equally hilarious and fantastic.  I think I need the Audrey one framed in our new apartment.  Too cute!
