All things I Do. Any and everything wedding day. From the dress to small personal details.

Weddings can be a big investment. That is how my (now) husband and I saw it because this was likely the only time all our friends & family would be together. We had people traveling from all over the US, including ourselves. Planning a wedding from out of state is stressful but I was so lucky to have great family and vendors to support us. This wasn't just “MY big day”. It was about having fun and sharing love with our favorite people, and this is how we made it possible.

When my sister died in 2017, we really wanted a funeral that would pay tribute to her in a beautiful way.

From timeless classics to trend-forward styles, discover wedding invitations that set the perfect tone for your celebration.

In 2025, wedding themes are trending toward personalization, immersive experiences, and intentional design, reflecting the way couples want their celebrations to feel as unique as their love stories. Themes like celestial, Regency romance, and fairy-tale fantasy tap into the desire for magic and escapism, while sustainable, eco-friendly, and micro-weddings reflect conscious living and meaningful connections. On the other end of the spectrum, bold looks like maximalism, retro disco, and royal jewel tones celebrate joy, color, and extravagance after years of minimalism dominating wedding culture. Meanwhile, futuristic tech-infused weddings show how innovation is shaping modern events, and natural styles like desert boho, garden party, and tropical luxe highlight the ongoing love for outdoor, organic beauty. Altogether, these trends speak to a generation of couples who want their weddings to be deeply personal, visually striking, and memorable for both themselves and their guests
