My fiancé and I have started our wedding planning for our 2025 wedding!! Here is the start of a super fun year we have planned. I thought I would share how Mat and I proposed to our bridal party to help you find some ideas for your party!

I've definitely been team JOMO(Joy of missing out) for a while now. Perhaps it was the pandemic which made me a happy recluse. These days, I find myself embracing those little dress up moments. I am a Fashion Designer and stylist by profession with a keen eye for detail and highly knowledgeable on textiles. A happy occasion like a wedding is something I love assisting my clients with. I've curated this list to help you decide on your perfect wedding guest outfit. Whatever the theme, dress code or season, I hope you'll find exactly what you need.

Moms everywhere can now get it in one guess what they will be gifted for a special occasion like Mother's Day - the horror! The last thing you want is to become so predictable that your mom is now outsmarting you! There is no time like the present to shake things up and keep her guessing about her gift, one that also has just the right touch to convey a strong "I love you to bits" message. These gift ideas may very well be on her wishlist!
