October 22, 2018 2 Comments

Oh HELLO. When you have a wedding there’s this thing no one tells you. There is an endless list of things. End. Less.

We’re officially in the holiday season. Which also means tons of gatherings to stuff into 4 weekends, which can be somewhat overwhelming. Thank goodness I have a solution for us. Brunch.

I know, ANOTHER PACKWOOD POST. By now you’re well aware that I was able to attend the event of the summer in Calgary…. Packwood Grand.

The day started with mimosas {OBVI do not miss my How To Throw Your Pre Packwood Party post.} and frantically perfecting my fascinator so that we were on time to the Starting Line at National on 10th Ave. This was where we all met for a breakfast buffet, mayyyyybe a few drinks, and ofcourse registration for the main event.
