Well, Spring sure is a sassy thang this year. She is just having a good ol’ laugh at all of us in New England right now with the pretty snow she presented us overnight. So sweet of her. However, my head is currently fluttering in the idea of a beautiful, al fresco dinner – full of fresh flowers, food, and friends. I would even invite Miss Spring – if she promises to apologize. With that little dinner party in mind, for this week’s Inspiration From Anywhere, I present the perfect Spring affair…with not a flake of snow in sight.

By now, you might have seen this beauty of a wedding on Style Me Pretty. Funny story is – this very wedding is how I ended up meeting the lovely Sarah True. I was a certified SMP addict (and guest blogger – so it was part of the job), and just drooled all over my keyboard when seeing this affair. To me, it’s the perfect combination of tradition mixed with personality mixed with modern mixed with so much style it’s not fair. It’s all around perfect to me. So, after getting the nudge from the Abby at SMP to reach out to Sarah – I did just that. Little did I know Sarah would end up helping me plan my own wedding and then we would end up working on weddings together. Funny how things work out. It’s also how I found and booked (immediately) Elysium Productions. Long story short, I owe a lot to this wedding.

Thanks Libby & Patrick

Those of you that follow me on facebook know that I have discovered a new workout love, and that is Mad About Crossfit.  A good friend of mine Lisa Goldenberg opened the gym in January and it quickly became part of my weekly routine.  Since being there I continue to be inspired by the energy that comes into the room, the laughs that somehow make any day better and the constant encouragement that gets me through some of the toughest workouts I have endured.  I find myself excited about working out again, love the challenge of pushing myself to a level of fitness I didn’t know existed within, and most importantly I love that it is an hour in my day I can devote completely to myself.  While I will always love running and continue to build it into my day to day, as I get ready to run the half marathon in Providence, this is a workout program/ community that is unlike any other.  I can’t help but spread the word about Lisa, Jason and Dan who instruct at Mad About Crossfit.  For all you shoreline brides and grooms it is the perfect way to get in shape for your wedding day, and for everyone else beach ready for summer.
