Beautiful Wedding Invitations: Styles for Every Couple

Wedding

I cannot believe it’s been almost a year since our wedding! The entire planning process and the aftermath have certainly been a whirlwind, which is why I’m excited to talk to you about beautiful wedding invitations from Basic Invite. Wedding invitations was one of my absolute favorite parts about planning the wedding. I had a very specific idea in mind, and it was exciting to find the perfect invites, RSVPs and wedding detail cards with my now husband. That’s why I’m excited to share my reasons why Basic Invite is perfect for any couple to find their perfect, beautiful wedding...

The Bridesmaid’s Checklist to Keep the Traditions Alive

Wedding

Modern weddings are a great deal different than their vintage counterparts in all ways. The arrangements, the executions and everything has now got the contemporary touch. Weddings have become a lot more lavish and fancy than they used to be in previous times. With the change in lifestyle, modifications were also seen in the way people get married. The ceremony changed, the party changed, and even some of the traditions changed. In the modern day hectic lifestyle, people hardly have time to get married peacefully and experience the beauty of the age-old traditions that were once part of all...

A Year in Review: 2017

Lifestyle•Travel•Wedding

Hello friends! It’s time for another year in review (you can read last year’s review here) – and let’s talk about this year! The best one yet personally – I GOT MARRIED and so many personal wonderful life events, but yet another year of tragedy. Who knew that it could get worse than 2016 – with all that happened last year, it’s surprising to feel like this year was even worse. The natural disasters and the worst mass shooting of all. It is heartbreaking. I have A LOT to share about this year, many amazing life events for me and my...

We are… MARRIED!

Wedding

Not many words are needed for this post… on Ocotber 14, 2017 at 1 p.m., our ceremony at Our Lady of Lourdes started and we were husband and wife as of 2 p.m. Marriage thus far has been magical. My husband and I are the happiest we’ve ever been and taken aback by the outpouring of love, support and well wishes. There will be a lot more to come, but just wanted to share one sneak peek of our day. Photography: Brovado Weddings

Loving Him is Red…

Wedding

I don’t think my fiancé will be too impressed with the Taylor Swift reference, but I’ve been on a Swift kick lately, so he shouldn’t be surprised. The reason that matters is because I want to dedicate this post to my fiancé – my soon-to-be husband – and everything I could ever want in life. Speaking of Taylor Swift… my very first memories with Joe go back to one of her songs, Mine, which was very popular at the time we met back in 2010. The more we hung out, the more that song made me giddy. Because even though we...

One Month…

Wedding

You must be my once in a lifetime…  We are officially one month out from our wedding day. It’s surreal. We’ve been planning this moment since our engagement in January of 2016. And let’s be honest – I’ve been planning this day my whole life… Right now, I have a lot of emotions and minimal brain space. It’s crazy that no matter how much people tell you, until you go through it yourself, the last two months before the wedding get chaotic – and the chaos won’t stop until every item related to your wedding (including thank yous) is complete....

Wedding Registry: Pottery Barn Picks

Interior Design•Wedding

As you may know, our wedding planning has been coming along! From finding the venue to sending out our Save the Dates, there have been many exciting moments along the way. Don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of frustrating moments (and a few, why are we doing this again moments), but planning our once in a lifetime day shared with the best friends and family is more than worth all of the frustrations. And, as you might imagine, registering for our wedding is definitely one of the most fun moments! Creating a Pottery Barn Wedding Registry has always something we’ve...

Thanks to @natureboxbeauty, I know my hair will be frizz-free all summer long using their 100% Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. What’s cold pressing exactly? 🤔 Cold pressing oils is the process of using extra pressure without excessive heat to extract the natural oils from fruits and nuts without chemicals or hot processing. Nature Box™ has a variety of shampoo and conditioner sets that include cold pressed oil from coconuts, avocados, apricots, almonds, and macadamia nuts. The set I got is exclusive to @cvspharmacy!
