I never go to an event without this in my bag. It gives the perfect, non-sticky high-gloss finish that keeps your lips looking hydrated.
Sephora Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
Old stone chapels can hold a chilly draft even on warm days. Draping this over my shoulders kept me completely comfortable during the ceremony.
Anthropologie Cashmere-Blend Wrap Shawl
Totally smudge-proof. It survived the emotional ceremony vows without running a single bit.

I love the texture of brushed brass against a sleek satin dress. It feels highly intentional and artistic.

The exact floral scent I wear whenever I want to feel a bit more elevated. It completely suits a fairytale property setting.
