I donned the cap and gown (many moons ago), and was I glad not to have planned the convocation ceremonies for this milestone (or, for that matter, the smaller graduation party for myself!) But celebrating graduation is a must today, whether your kids are graduating from preschool, elementary or college/university.

Wedding registries are honestly so stressful to build! But if you don’t register for /something/ people (especially great aunts) will go off-book (and you’ll have to figure out how to return seasonal, quilted table runners…) so I do recommend taking time to register for literally anything that’ll make your life together easier! And after a couple years married, there are definitely items I swear by and others that we could totally live without- so here’s the list of my fav things we got that have really come in handy!

I was a 2024 bride and work in the wedding industry so I see weddings every day and am always keeping up with what's trending. I love seeing brides show their personal style! Whether it's a bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, or reception dress change I love to see people's style. Because when else do you get to wear all the white glitz and glam?!
