We have yet another giveaway for you all this week! We’re so excited to give our readers the chance to win an amazing, unique gift box of your choice from Sesame. Since so many of you guys are tech-forward and iPhone/Android fanatics like us, I know this giveaway is going to be right up your alley.

If you haven’t heard of it before, Sesame is an app that allows you to select and send a variety of gifts to yourself or your loved ones, right from your phone! Sending a gift on the fly is super easy with Sesame: you simply download the app, browse their great selection of gifts, and enter in the gift recipient’s info. Or you could browse their selection online. Just like that, a thoughtful and beautifully packaged gift will arrive right to the gift recipient’s front door in a few days. Each gift set is composed of luxe, unique items curated by an expert at Sesame. Our favorites are the Indulgent Escape, Cocktail Hour, Ultimate Unwind, and Wake-Up Call gift sets — I mean, how can you resist fancy bath salts, custom drink mixers, or gourmet coffee? However, there really is something in there for everyone; so even if our favorites don’t appeal to you, something by Sesame will!

A Woodsy Pacific Northwest Wedding from Ryan Flynn Photography

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Stephanie in Weddings | 1 Comment

We’re really excited to feature a gorgeous wedding from talented photographer Ryan Flynn. We stumbled across his photos on another wedding blog, and have been obsessing over his art ever since. Luckily, Ryan was kind enough to share some photos with us to share with all of you — which is great, because I’m sure you’ll adore his photography and this Washington state wedding as much as we do!

So how did Ryan feel about this woodsy wedding and the couple, Melissa and Matt? He says, “You can’t really go wrong when your wedding plans include gathering your favorite people on the shores of a beautiful lake on the Olympic Peninsula for the weekend, with plenty of sun, food, drinks, campfires, and stars to go around. I love weddings like this.

Melissa, Matt, and their guests spent the weekend at the Lake Crescent Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula.”
