A fun and flowing dress, a matching clutch and cute shoes (with a low heel) to dance in!
As I mentioned earlier, it was Rich’s 25th birthday on Sunday, and we were trying to remember what I gave him last year on his birthday. After searching through our pictures, we realized I gave him a bar cart, so Rich could practice his mixology skills. I found a great rolling cabinet on craigslist, and I sanded, stained and tiled it. I then equipped it with bar tools such as hand juicers, wine keys and decanters. I think bar carts and bar accessories like the ones I listed below are a great addition to any registry, and experimenting with making different drinks can be a fun activity to do as a couple.

…in the Fort Omaha Hy-vee Health Market aisle!
Ok so my updated jingle doesn’t quite fit with the original tune, but I just wanted to announce that my wonderful sister, Lindsay, will be the new Hy-vee Dietician at the Fort Omaha location starting this October. She’s gonna rock it! Love you Winny!
And no worries – she’ll still be contributing bi-weekly to the Lovestru.ck blog with her Fit Friday Posts.
Check out Lindsay’s past work with Hy-vee here.

I featured Primary Petals two weeks ago in my Wedding Awards post. I immediately knew I wanted to showcase the floral arrangements Samantha Santana designed for Diana and Josh’s wedding. Her flower creations range from bohemian styles to vintage and even whimsical. I think you’ll agree that Primary Petals’ creativity and ingenuity is beyond amazing. Read about Samatha’s business below!
In early 2009, my husband James and I were asked to help a friend with her wedding flowers because we were the “artsy friends.” Needless to say, the flowers were a hit and a flow of requests for wedding flowers hit us. James and I come from a fine art/graphic design background, so we started using our knowledge in those fields to design and style events with seasonal flowers and as many recycled/found containers and props as possible. We also decided to customize each wedding to each couple, which has been successful because we have never done the same design twice.
Luckily we work in Southern California with some of the most creative clients around, and they openly invite James and my crazy ideas and color schemes. Our favorite clients are those whose ideas seem impossible, such as floating arrangements for a pool or a Super Mario themed wedding. We like the challenge and opportunity to make such ideas possible. We also love the DIY crowd because we want our clients to be involved in the creative process and for their finger prints to be all over their wedding.
Although we had our pictures taken a lot later than most engaged couples, I think our decision to wait allowed us enough time to come up with a concept that really showcased our relationship, and we were able to find Brighten Photography which perfectly complements our style. Ben and Whitney of Brighten effortlessly work together as if they can read each others minds, and they make the entire process so much fun. (You can see us hysterically laughing in a lot of our pictures.)
As a wedding planner, I have seen a lot of creative engagement sessions. I knew I wanted a lifestyle shoot rather than posed portraits because I wanted the photos to capture how Rich and I interact. I also knew this photography style would help me overcome my camera shyness.
Brighten took our pictures as Rich and I browsed the Lincoln Farmer’s Market. We chose this location because it’s important to us to reduce our carbon footprint and cook with local and fresh ingredients as much as possible.
Ben of Brighten chose our second location. He helped us “MacGyver” our way into an old school building. Most of the building had been refinished, but the auditorium and gym hadn’t been touched. They looked like they had been frozen in time.
