I am sharing with you my list of templates I recommend a bride to use.

You just got married, you're staring at a stack of mismatched towels from college and your partner's gym bag, and your bathroom looks like a dorm room. I spent way too long hunting for personalized towels that actually felt luxurious and didn't look like a craft fair reject. This is the full lineup that made our new place finally feel like a real home together. Grab these before your next set of guests comes over and judges your bathroom.

I recently got married and struggled to find a dress within my budget. Going to bridal boutiques was always so stressful, but one day I thought to check small businesses. I ended up purchasing my dress on Etsy from a seller in Ukraine and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful dress. This lists is curated of so many beautiful dresses from small business owners.

I just exited my bridal era with a wedding in Fall 2025 and loved every minute. Here are some of my favorite picks for anyone entering their bride era! 🤍👰‍♀️💍🕊️

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’ve been married 10 years and these are all the things I registered for and loved or wish I would have registered for!

Planning a simple ceremony sounds easy until you're three weeks out, staring at a bare aisle, wondering how Pinterest couples pull it off. If you want handmade wedding aisle decor that looks intentional without hiring a decorator or spending your honeymoon fund — this is the list that would've saved me about forty stress-tears and a fight with my florist.

Planning a wedding or baby shower registry from a laptop at midnight felt impossible when I kept spotting things I loved while shopping in person. If you're the kind of person who finds the perfect towel set at the store but forgets the name by the time you get home, this whole list is the setup that finally made registering feel effortless. Took me two registries to figure this out so you don't have to.

Finding a wedding gift that doesn't end up in a closet is weirdly stressful — especially when every couple already has a blender and matching towels. If you're the person standing in a store thirty minutes before the reception panicking, this is every personalized Mr and Mrs gift I've given that made someone tear up, laugh, or immediately post on Instagram. Took me about eight weddings to nail this list so you don't have to waste the money I did.

Wedding stuff I loved + wedding stuff I forgot because I was in full panic mode. Don’t be me. Learn from my weddingchaos 💅

Getting married soon? Check out my must haves from Amazon that I immediately added to our registry! These items are going to help us stay organized and will keep our counters clear for more cook prep.

Are you a new bride looking for it all in your bridal dress shopping experience? Look no further. This list includes the most exclusive bridal boutiques in and around Charlotte, NC where you'll have that once in a lifetime experience with your friends and family while finding your dream dress.

Unless you ARE a DJ, just know music can make or break your wedding or event. Don't setle for guests leaving early - hire a DJ that gets your style and let them do what they do best!

Spent two wedding seasons wearing either boring bobby pins or tiaras that screamed prom queen — there was no in-between. If you're someone who wants a little sparkle woven through a braid or updo without looking like you raided a costume shop, this is the lineup that finally nailed it. Took me a lot of returns to land here so you don't have to.

There’s nothing like dark, moody colors for a gorgeous fall wedding. My wedding was in October and these were my favorite picks!

These are the top wedding venues I toured or received information packets for in the Chicagoland area.

Everything you need to host (or show up) in style—fun finds, crowd-pleasers, and little details that make any gathering unforgettable. Consider this your go-to party kit!

Planning an outdoor ceremony and terrified the unity candle will blow out mid-vow? Yeah, I watched mine flicker and die at a rehearsal in a light breeze and panicked. Spent weeks testing hurricane glass sets, windproof tapers, and backup options so the actual day went perfectly. If you're getting married outside — or even near an open door — save yourself the stress and scroll through what actually worked.

Planning a wedding with 150 guests and a paper seating chart taped to my fridge was a disaster waiting to happen — I moved Aunt Linda six times before I even picked the font. If you're deep in reception planning and the table assignments are making you question everything, these place cards actually made the whole process feel manageable. Grabbed most of these months before the wedding so I wasn't panic-ordering at 2am the week before.

A stress-free, step-by-step digital checklist that turns the chaos of bar/bat mitzvah planning into a joyful, organized celebration. Designed for busy parents, you’ll honor the milestone without losing your mind.

Everything here comes from Ulta, Sephora or Anthropologie and most picks land between $10 and $60, so you can mix a splurge with a few small extras.

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!

Custom wedding favor tags from a print shop were going to cost me over $400. That quote made me physically ill. So I bought a decent printer, some cardstock, ribbon, and a hole punch, then did the whole thing myself in two weekends. If you're planning a wedding on a budget and refuse to let favor tags be the thing that breaks you, scroll through everything I actually used.

Spent thousands on a dress and then panicked about storing it in a regular closet where dust settles and moths appear out of nowhere.

Planning a birthday or wedding and staring at generic plastic cake decorations that scream ‘I grabbed this at the grocery store ten minutes ago’? Same. I spent way too long settling for toppers that looked nothing like us until I finally tracked down ones that actually felt personal.
