Are you planning your destination wedding at a tropical resort? Well look no further than this list to get all your bridal & wedding outfit inspo for the whole week! You're only a bride once (or twice :)) after all! Make the most of it! I've included a ton of different sections for different activities you might be doing leading up to and after your wedding day! If you don't have some of these that's okay, they're still great to have! For the purposes of this list, I am including not only things for brides, but grooms as well! For the purpose of this list I did not include actual wedding day outfits or jewelry. I have a separate list for that! Check it out on my profile!
Planning a wedding reception nearly broke me — between mismatched plates, flimsy cups that crumbled in guests' hands, and centerpieces that looked cheap no matter what I tried. If you're drowning in tableware options and your Pinterest board is mocking you, this is the lineup I landed on after returning way too many things. For brides, grooms, planners, or the friend who got voluntold to handle the tables — grab these before your RSVP deadline hits.
These are my favorite pieces of decor and memorabilia from our wedding day. Enjoy! So much of these items we are also now using as home decor, as you might notice on my Instagram profile.
Fall is literally the most popular time of the year for weddings. So it would stand to reason that it's one of the most popular times of year to elope too! Most of the country has ideal weather in the fall (there's a reason Tennesseee Fall is my favorite season) and there's always so many fun things to do when you go somewhere fun in the fall, I mean what town or city doesn't have some sort of fall festival? Here's my list of the top places to elope in the fall based on their weather and potentially how busy it'll be around that time of year.
Every wedding season I used to panic-buy something off the registry that ended up in a closet. After watching friends unwrap their fifth decorative candle set, I started paying attention to what actually stayed on their counters, in their kitchens, and in their daily routines. This list is for anyone tired of giving forgettable gifts. Everything here is under $30 and I've personally seen couples reach for these months after the wedding.

With how saturated the wedding market is, I highly recommend going out of your way to support local and small business owners and contractors! They will put so much more care and attention into you and your day than a big corporation.

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!
