My girls have shown up for me through every single step of this wedding, so their gifts had to be just as special 🤍 These are the trendy, chic, and actually practical picks I'm giving my bridesmaids and maid of honor: personalized Etsy finds, getting-ready essentials, and pieces they'll use long after the last dance.

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.

Planning your big day on a budget? Don’t stress 🤍 I’ve put together this list of gorgeous SHEIN wedding dresses under $150 that are stylish, elegant, and perfect for saying “I do” without breaking the bank. Whether you’re having a small wedding, courthouse ceremony, or just want a stunning second dress, these affordable picks will have you feeling like a bride while keeping your wallet happy 🤍

So our ring bearer was three years old and I realized two months before the wedding that a satin pillow from a big box store would last approximately four seconds in his hands. If you're planning a wedding and your tiny ring bearer has sticky fingers and zero chill, these handmade pillows actually hold up, look incredible in photos, and won't slide the rings off mid-aisle. Took me weeks of scrolling so you don't have to.

Nobody warns you that six hungry, nervous women in robes will absolutely spiral before the ceremony if you don't feed them properly. I planned a gorgeous wedding but almost forgot the morning-of fuel — cue one bridesmaid nearly fainting during photos and another snapping at the makeup artist. Took me way too long to figure out the right spread, so here's everything I'd buy again in a heartbeat.

Pink themed bat mitzvah party decorations, invitations, and favors with personalized name over the white Star of David. Lots of cute desserts and welcome signs with your photo. Favorite pink dresses at the bottom of the list.

These are locations in and around Richmond, VA that I delivered wedding cakes to on a regular basis when I made custom wedding cakes.

What I have added to my personal wedding registry! We have already lived together for almost 5 years so it was a little tricky to start this. Hope this can help you ⛪️💍

Take a look at everything I bring to a wedding as a wedding photographer. Wedding days require a lot of equipment and a lot of back up equipment. There are some fun things I like to use on a wedding day as well!

Based on my own wedding prep, I don't have much time or room for buying mistakes, so I compare options, read reviews, and check what other people say before I spend. I haven't tried these myself, so this is research, not a testimonial. Here's what kept making the cut for a bridesmaid proposal box, from a silk sleep mask to the card itself, plus a few small things that save the day, like blister cushions and a stain pen. Tell me what you'd add!

for all of the bride-to-be's and their besties looking to splurge on them!

Planning a wedding on a budget nearly broke me — I spent weeks scrolling through overpriced favor options that all looked like dollar store rejects or cost $8 per guest.
