I got engaged December 11, 2023 in St Maarten and we got married June 20, 2025 in Toronto at Hotel X! It gave us (aka me) a year and a half to plan the wedding and prepare everything we needed. Here is a glimpse of the things I bought and wore for the big day 🤍

Family and celebration go hand in hand for me. These are wedding finds I'd recommend to anyone planning a day to remember, from thoughtful keepsakes to details guests actually talk about afterward.

Showpo has the cutest, best quality dresses I’ve found. Although they can be pricey, they’re well worth their money with the comfortability, material, and chicness.

I worked as a bridal stylist for years, which means I’ve seen it all- happy tears, panic sweats, and moms with opinions 🙃 When it was my turn to be the bride (pre-mom life!), these are the things I actually loved! My tried-and-true bridal favorites. ❤️ I started working in Bridal when I lived in South Fl, got engaged while working in PDX boutique, and got married in Golden, CO. So I have lots of recs all over!

stepping off of my bridal era, I have so many thoughts and recommendations for all you brides to be ⭐️ this is such a fun time in your life!

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 LOVE the look of mismatched bridesmaid dresses, and even though I’m married already, I want to help you source your dresses! 💕 This list is PINK dresses, including gorgeous ditsy florals! Follow along for some great finds 💄🌸💍

When I was wedding planning in the fall of 2022, it was so important to me to thank the people in my wedding party and family with sentimental, heartfelt gifts. These loved ones put in so much time and effort to be there for you to celebrate your big day! I'm a huge believer that these thank-you gestures don't have to be expensive to be touching, useful, and memorable.

A collection of stylish, practical, and slightly life-changing home finds that make everyday life feel easier, cozier, and more put together.

Perfect for modern wedding registry ideas, apartment essentials, home upgrades, and creating a space that actually feels warm, personal, and lived in.

After all the work of planning the wedding, there's also gifts for others to consider. There are some ideas I used to thank my girls and parents for being a special part of my day.

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!

Pro wedding dress flipper since 2016 ~ Only sharing tried and tested products ➕ Details & Tips in the CommentsI use all of the following to care for my gowns & refurbish worn dresses.Although I am a professional, these are all household-level items that perform at a professional level and can benefit you in other ways.I also try to keep things budget-friendly and cute ~ because let's be real, no one wants to put their wedding dress in an ugly overpriced bag or outdated box.

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
