Mad ♥ Mondays
: Monday, August 8, 2011
So, I promise I’m going to do a post and actually show you pictures that I take. Honestly, I’m trying to hold out until my new blog is here. Which seriously is just around the corner. It’s going to be here so soon, I can taste it! But until then I’ll just share with you my favorite things from around the interwebs.
#1. Loving this wedding dress! {ps. One of my weddings this year is going to be at a private estate and they’re going to have all sorts of games for their guests to play! I love that idea!!}

#2. I know I’ve blogged about lavender bouquets but I just cannot get enough of them. I think they are so simple yet drop dead gorgeous!

#3. I always swoon for long wedding gowns but a wedding like this one, in Hawaii, on the beach, deserves a perfect little white wedding dress.

#4. Ruche did a blog post about a week ago and it was titled, 10 ways to Love yourself today. How amazing is that. Read their list and go out and do at least one of them today.

#5. Spruce up those place cards with something out of the ordinary! I love the idea of using coke bottles with the wooden tags!

#6. Navy and Peach. I’m kinda obsessed with this color combo.

Wrap it all up…

Ah, this week. This week has been full, full of just about every emotion a heart can handle.
My first best friend, the girl I grew up with for 20 years and who made me laugh like no other passed away this week. I’m much better at writing things than actually speaking them so this is my outlet right now. I’m pretty sure without Katie, I wouldn’t be who I am today. We learned so much from each other growing up. We were next door neighbors, sisters at heart and best friends. We played barbies till we were into our teens, had matching bowl haircuts (Mom, that was not ok) and even though our lives may have led us in different directions these past couple years, she will always and forever hold a special place in my heart. I’m looking forward to celebrating her life this weekend because there really is so much to celebrate.
As incredibly hard as it has been this week, I’ve had some really great things happen.

Alicia and Brook’s wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty this week! I am so honored and humbled to be on such an inspirational blog!
My new favorite cover song, Billie Jean by The Civil Wars (Click on the middle performance). I already loved The Civil Wars, now I love them more.
I’m back to being a brunette!
My new blog is ALMOST here!!!!! Thanks a bajillion to Karrie Pyke and Sean Duran. They rock my socks off. I am SO freakin excited to have it and hold it and share it =) Wanna sneaky? Ok! 
If you didn’t already know, I’m a total musical geek. I saw Hairspray last week for the 2nd time and it was so much fun that I saw it again last night. But one of my absolute favorite musicals is Rent and I’m so excited to go see it tonight! By the way, the actual show is 1,000,000,000,000 x’s better than the movie.
And last, but most definitely not least. Lola is a whopping 1 years old today! I realize that posting this makes me “that woman” and I may never get asked on another date but she’s just so darn cute!

Yes,Megan. It’s like, wherever Katie was, you were there also. It’s like
your mom’s second daughter & my second g’daughter. It was a truly beautiful farewell, but a very tough one. We have her memory tho, in so many pictures & so many videos. Even your dance recitals. Yes, Lola is precious. (When she’s clean) She is a country girl at heart you know. xoxoo -

..Boudoir Session.
Today’s what to wear post is dedicated to all you beautiful women who are stumped on what to wear to a boudoir session. Since our boudoir marathon is less than a month away I wanted to share some of my favorite photos and inspiration I’ve found to help you out!
I’m going to start off by saying, you don’t have to be nude for a boudoir session. The whole purpose of a shoot like this is to photograph how beautiful you are. So whatever makes you feel beautiful is what you should put on. That can be anything from; a lace dress, your man’s favorite t-shirt, lingerie or if you want, nothin. Confidence is key when it comes to boudoir, so wear what makes your body look and feel good.
One of my greatest inspirations is by far Elizabeth Messina. Her photographs radiate beauty and her boudoir photos are no exception. Here are a few of my favorites.
Unless you’re blind, you can see how much I love lace. I think it’s the perfect attire for boudoir. It shows just enough without giving it all away.
The following group of photos show that you can really wear anything. I love how simple the first photo is. She’s wearing a sweater. A sweater, people! All of these photos have been acquired from Pinterest. I have a whole board dedicated to boudoir. To see some more inspiration, head HERE.
We have very limited spots left for our Boudoir Marathon next month. If you’re interested email myself, megan@meganwelker.com or Raquel Leal, raquel@raquelleal.com
