Wedding Day Lifesavers! (I used every single one)

Sharing the research from my wedding planning

Everything from wedding events leading up to the big day and everything in the middle from a bridal consultant!

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!💍💕

Looking for something for that wedding, I've got recommendations for garden/outdoor, beach formal/cocktail and city weddings? I've got you! Plus Size Edition.

I had a year between engagement & my actual wedding. Within that year there was so many different events (family party, bachelorette, photos, etc) and I found myself circulating these websites the most for some bridal looks. Note: I wasn't strict about always wearing all white, I'd mix with other colors or wear a nude, etc.

Whether you are buying a gift for newlyweds or for each other, here ar some sweet romantic gifts.

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. The road to a lifetime of learning has just begun … but first, the party (and all the madness that it entails): namely, the invitations, gifts, the party favors (edible and otherwise) and supplies, and the signs.

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!

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.

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 🤣.
