Navy and blush is one of those wedding guest combinations that never misses. A navy off-the-shoulder gown brings timeless elegance, while blush satin heels and pearl-drop earrings soften the look with a romantic finish. Add a neutral pashmina for outdoor ceremonies and a beaded clutch for just enough sparkle, and suddenly you look like you absolutely understood the assignment. This formula works for vineyard weddings, rooftop receptions, formal garden ceremonies, and those black-tie-optional invitations where everyone secretly goes full glam. Classic, flattering, and impossible to regret later when the photos come back. For the full styling breakdown and more wedding guest outfit formulas, visit Jersey Girl Glam. (jerseygirlglam.com)

When it comes to weddings and elopements in this era, there are so many vendors and expenses that fall into your lap. I am a huge supporter of hiring local business owners, but sometimes that's out of budget. Luck for you, I have had to put together a bouquet and boutonniere a handful of times as an elopement photographer. Here are my favorite places to find florals around the greater Portland area and all the things you'll need to put together a stunning floral arrangement for your wedding/elopement!

Planning a wedding and everything looks fine but nothing looks wow? I spent weeks staring at my reflection thinking something was missing — turns out the dress is just the canvas. These are the exact accessories and details that made my bridal look click into place, for any bride who knows she looks nice but wants that stop-the-aisle moment. Took me four months of searching so you can skip straight to the good stuff.

You spent months picking out your dress, and now it's the morning of your wedding and it looks like it was balled up in a suitcase. Garment bags don't prevent wrinkles. Hotel irons are terrifying near tulle. If you're a bride, bridesmaid, or mother of the bride who needs everything crease-free without the panic, this is every tool and product I actually used. Took me three weddings (two as a bridesmaid, one as the bride) to figure this out so you don't have to.

When my sister died in 2017, we really wanted a funeral that would pay tribute to her in a beautiful way. I know everyone wants to make a celebration of life, funeral or memorial service for a loved one really special, but it can be challenging when you’re grieving and dealing with a lot of admin.

This is a list of fun ideas for gifts (and experiences) you can buy for a romantic couple. Little to large trinkets for both of them to enjoy, even if they already have everything they need. These gifts celebrate their love for each other, and give them another opportunity to cherish their time together. Maybe you can use this list to inspire you think about how you can celebrate your own relationship with your husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend. You can use these ideas as Anniversary or Valentine gift ideas. Many of these ideas are very similar to (or exactly) gifts I have purchased before. In face, I have a pair of Korean wedding ducks sitting in a shelf at my front door! Some of the links associated with this list may be affiliate links.

I had so much fun putting this list together, I want to get married now! Let one of these designer wedding invitations inspire your creativity! I love looking at wedding theme ideas, and I am definitely drawn to the more luxurious deeper color palettes. The themes that feel cozy, but rich, and sometimes colorful and eclectic! I imagine these weddings would be romantic, at night, maybe in the fall or winter, and definitely romantic! My personal favorite is the first one, with the rustic poppies and parchment paper. I imagine a evening fall wedding with lots of fairy lights and mulled wine. All of these themes are represented by an invitation. These invites are all found on Zazzle.com, a wonderful website for personalized stationary, cards and invitations. If you are looking to save a few bucks on wedding stationary and decor, you can order from collections and personalize everything yourself. Awesome!

Wedding guest dresses and jumpsuits from my favorite brand! I own at least 6 of these. Lulus never disappoints! Their fabrics are luxurious and flattering, and the styles they release are never boring or plain. Even the most simplistic dress has small details that make it stand out.

Fall is literally the most popular time of the year for weddings. So it would stand to reason that it's one of the most popular times of year to elope too! Most of the country has ideal weather in the fall (there's a reason Tennesseee Fall is my favorite season) and there's always so many fun things to do when you go somewhere fun in the fall, I mean what town or city doesn't have some sort of fall festival? Here's my list of the top places to elope in the fall based on their weather and potentially how busy it'll be around that time of year.

Updated constantly with the standout, special ones. 💌

Every wedding has that awkward moment where the DJ plays something weird and everyone suddenly needs to refill their drink. I spent months building playlists, testing speakers, and figuring out the gear that keeps a dance floor packed from first dance to last call. This is for couples who care more about the party than the Pinterest board, and want their guests talking about the reception for years.

We spent months picking out the perfect dining table after the wedding, then left water rings on it within the first week. If you're a newlywed couple moving into your first place together and you want coasters that actually mean something — not just random cork circles from a dollar store — I tracked down the ones worth keeping forever. Grab these before you host your first dinner party and panic.

Planning a wedding or dinner party and realizing place card holders cost more than the actual food per plate? I spent weeks comparing bulk options after nearly dropping $200 on tiny metal clips for my sister's reception. These are the ones that fooled every guest into thinking we splurged, and most came out to 30-40 cents a piece. Grab them early because shipping times get brutal closer to wedding season.

I started developing this kit when I was planning my wedding; truly a “just in case everything goes wrong” bag for any small day-of emergency. It became one of the best ideas and creations I've had, so much so that I began making and giving them to my friends on their wedding days. Now, I keep one in my desk at work, one in my gym bag and I pack a “mini” version for travel. It's a simple solution for massive peace-of-mind (and it makes as a GREAT wedding day gift!!!).
