Hello beautiful humans! I'm standing up in a wedding this summer and these are a few of my favs to get me ready for their big day!

With wedding season right up the alley, I personally have a lot of weddings to attend to (some friends, some family) and in the past it's always been a hassle for me to figure out what to wear based on the theme. I think I'm finally at a point where I've perfected each theme to a T, so this is my way of giving back!! I know how hard it can be to find a nice dress and sometimes even find one last minute. So here is a run down of my favorite guest outfits for a black tie theme wedding.

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 🤣.
