I got engaged December 11, 2023 in St Maarten and we got married June 20, 2025 in Toronto at Hotel X! It gave us (aka me) a year and a half to plan the wedding and prepare everything we needed. Here is a glimpse of the things I bought and wore for the big day 🤍

As a 2025 bride who did a bunch of DIYs but also doesn't love the "look" of a DIY here are the things that absolutely saved me leading up to the big day.
If you're heading to a black tie wedding and have no idea what to wear—don’t stress, I’ve got you. I rounded up the most stunning black tie wedding guest dresses that are chic, classy, and totally photo-worthy!
As a wedding and couples photographer who prioritizes comfort while still looking professional, these are my tried and true go-to repeat outfits! As someone who tries to be money-conscious, I do try to find cheaper options of my favorites, or buy clothes when they're on clearance from my favorite name brands.
As a maid of honor, one of my duties was hosting the bride's bridal shower. Coming up with the theme and buying items for it was a blast. Here is a list of some of the items the bride and/or guests loved the most that stood out.
Accidents happen. Emergencies happen. People forget stuff. You want to be prepared for it all! I promise things went wrong at my wedding and so many of these things saved my life!
Vibrant theme for July/summer bridal showers with a patriotic twist. I Do BBQ, Let Freedom Ring, She's a Firecracker, etc. USA military and patriotic holidays.
These are my fav items that I got from my wedding registry. TBH, I felt kind of lost when I was creating them and I wish I had a list to pull from. Hope you love these recs from both Crate & Barrel and Amazon!!
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!
This playful theme is all about celebrating her new “engaged” status with fun market touches like a flower bar. Think chic signage, soft neutrals, and a mix of rustic touches that make the whole shower feel lighthearted, stylish, and totally memorable.
List of potential dresses to use for weddings. These are targeted for formal to semi formal weddings not black tie. Mainly for weddings in warmer areas. Most dresses are also targeted for a mid size body type with a lower belly and smaller chest.
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.
