I've been blessed to photograph quite a few weddings in the last twenty years. I've seen quite a few brides and grooms struggle with the most basic tasks because they forgot that one thing. so I decided to create a list of everything I think a bride & groom should have on their special day.

I had so much fun putting this list together, I want to get married now! Let one of these designer wedding invitations inspire your creativity! I love looking at wedding theme ideas, and I am definitely drawn to the more luxurious deeper color palettes. The themes that feel cozy, but rich, and sometimes colorful and eclectic! I imagine these weddings would be romantic, at night, maybe in the fall or winter, and definitely romantic! My personal favorite is the first one, with the rustic poppies and parchment paper. I imagine a evening fall wedding with lots of fairy lights and mulled wine. All of these themes are represented by an invitation. These invites are all found on Zazzle.com, a wonderful website for personalized stationary, cards and invitations. If you are looking to save a few bucks on wedding stationary and decor, you can order from collections and personalize everything yourself. Awesome!

Every December I'd panic-buy some generic ornament and write our names on it with a Sharpie — it looked terrible and my partner definitely noticed.

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!

Things I loved for me and my girls as a bride, so I wanted to share them :)

Summer is here and I am adding all of my dream coastal European wedding guest dresses to this list! Think chic and effortless elegance that will have everyone asking you,"where'd you find that dress?"

Just call me the Hostess with the Mostess lol. One of my favorite things to do is host friends and family for gatherings. These items help make sure they are gatherings to remember.

The suite still has four wire hangers and no steamer. That is how portraits start 40 minutes late. These are the things I tell brides and planners to set up in the hotel so the dress is hung, the irons stay in the closet, and nobody is steaming over a toilet at 9 a.m. Not the day-of emergency kit. That list is shine, stains, and a dead phone.

Outfit inspo for all of the big bridal events you may have during your bridal era!

Custom wedding favor tags from a print shop were going to cost me over $400. That quote made me physically ill. So I bought a decent printer, some cardstock, ribbon, and a hole punch, then did the whole thing myself in two weekends. If you're planning a wedding on a budget and refuse to let favor tags be the thing that breaks you, scroll through everything I actually used.

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!💍💕

Let's face it, I'm a horrible gift giver. My wife could probably get a better present from a vending machine, but somehow, these gifts actually went over well with her discerning taste. It turns out, I might not be a gift-giving genius, but I did manage to find a few gems that made her smile.

Escape to paradise and say 'I do' in the breathtaking Dominican Republic! Exchange vows amidst stunning beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant culture. I married on the beach, barefoot in a light blue dress, holding few yellow roses, nothing compares to that.how could I separate this list. This list is about many places in Dominican Republic that you could go to and tie the knot. You will have the best experience in DR just as I had and many of my friends.

Planning an outdoor ceremony and terrified the unity candle will blow out mid-vow? Yeah, I watched mine flicker and die at a rehearsal in a light breeze and panicked. Spent weeks testing hurricane glass sets, windproof tapers, and backup options so the actual day went perfectly. If you're getting married outside — or even near an open door — save yourself the stress and scroll through what actually worked.

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!

I was a DIY bride and my husband and I planned and executed our whole wedding by ourselves. So this list is for any brides doing the same on a budget and needing some ideas! If you have any questions about how we executed our backyard wedding on a budget, let me know! <3

You bought the ring. You planned the speech. And then you realized the generic velvet box from the jewelry store looks like it came from a mall kiosk in 1997. If you want the box to match the moment, these handmade options are what I landed on after weeks of scrolling. Grab one before proposal season hits and lead times double.

Here are my Etsy recommendations for digital products that are perfect for long-distance couples and couples who are soon-to-be married! 💕

I recently got married and struggled to find a dress within my budget. Going to bridal boutiques was always so stressful, but one day I thought to check small businesses.

Bridal showers cluster in the weeks before a wedding, which is exactly when a bride-to-be is running on caffeine and checklists.

Everything here comes from Ulta, Sephora or Anthropologie and most picks land between $10 and $60, so you can mix a splurge with a few small extras.

Things that make a great bridal perfume: 1) Performance - you want to be able to create strong scent memories of the day and need it to be long-lasting as well. 2) Scent (obvs) - when I think of a bridal scent, I think elegant florals. Something unique, complex, mature, classy, and sexy. 3) Bottle aesthetics - how will it look in those bridal flat-lay wedding pictures?
