With how saturated the wedding market is, I highly recommend going out of your way to support local and small business owners and contractors! They will put so much more care and attention into you and your day than a big corporation. If something isn’t perfect, they will make it right and provide great customer service every step of the way. Check out some of these vendors I used for my 2023 Maple Grove, MN wedding!
Destination guests land fried, then they hit 110-degree sidewalks and a 2 a.m. after-party. These are the things I tell couples to drop in the hotel-room bag so people actually show up on time and still look human in group photos. Not the couple’s day-of kit. That list is separate.

I’m on a mission to learn how to make crepe paper flowers for my wedding decor. I plan to make the flowers for table decoration, chair posies and to decorate the cake.
My dad owns a printing business, so paper has oddly been a big thing in my life. From helping him when he brought work home (e.g. stuffing envelopes, glueing photos and binding calendars) to asking him to bring paper home for me to draw on.
The art of paper flowers is a beautiful but personal incorporation into my wedding day. Of course, if I had the budget I’d rather not do the manual labour but wedding tax is real 🤣. Creating this list for anyone starting out the new hobby!

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.

Items that are must haves on the big day!! After being a bridesmaid one too many times, I’ve learned a thing or two. Some of these items are no brainers but some of them were a lesson learned because the bride was searching for the item the day of. So it’s better to have them ready so that she has a smooth day :) All of the links are the cheapest price found online to help make things easier. You’ve got enough to worry about prepping for the big day! Most of these are from Target so you could do a mass pickup order if you wanted to.
We just had our wedding and here is everything that I’d totally buy again if we did it all over. Outfits that are affordable but still look phenomenal in photos. We did the bare minimum for decor since our venue was stunning on its own but Polaroids and guest book was 100% worth every penny!💍💕

I have never been 100% sold on traditional wedding dresses. The thought of investing close to $10k for your dream dress always sat uneasy for me.
Wearing something more simple or not necessarily “bridal” branded really speaks to me.
Here are a list of some of those dresses that I love for a more laid back bridal look that you won’t find in a bridal store.
As a 2027 Bride, I'm always on the lookout for bridal looks in the mid-size range. Here are some of my recent lookbook selections by designers who offer inclusive (and flattering) size options. Everything should go up to an XL or 14 or higher!
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!!!).
