Destination weddings are becoming more and more common. The special thing about them is that there's not as much of a pressure in looking so formal. Destination weddings are all about feeling pretty, light and dainty. So here goes...

I was a 2024 bride and work in the wedding industry so I see weddings every day and am always keeping up with what's trending. I love seeing brides show their personal style! Whether it's a bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, or reception dress change I love to see people's style. Because when else do you get to wear all the white glitz and glam?!

Items you must have on your bridal registry. I like items that are multi-functional and appeal to many different tastes.

Quinceanera invitations can get really repetitive as far as the designs go…I've been making some and I'm going to be adding some that don't follow the “normal” design themes, but are a little more sophisticated. I'll add more here as I get to them, and I've also added some that I've found on other sites.

Items that are must haves on the big day!! After being a bridesmaid one too many times, I’ve learned a thing or two. Some of these items are no brainers but some of them were a lesson learned because the bride was searching for the item the day of. So it’s better to have them ready so that she has a smooth day :) All of the links are the cheapest price found online to help make things easier. You’ve got enough to worry about prepping for the big day! Most of these are from Target so you could do a mass pickup order if you wanted to.

Here's some of our favorite wedding venues in the Tampa Bay Area!

As a June 2025 bride, I planned my dream wedding all within our limited budget without missing out on anything! I turned into a DIY bride quickly and fell in love with the process. From our signage, faux florals, crossword puzzle, program fans, to every single detail. I loved the entire process and being able to share it with future brides who want their dream wedding. I’ve compiled all of my go-to recs and items I used to DIY to help you plan your wedding.

Shopping from Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Shopbop, Mumu, and a few surprise finds.

As a September 2024 bride these are the gifts I gave to my bridesmaids and tbh… I think I killed it! I know it may look pricey but I’m telling you… START SAVING NOW!

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.

p.s. save this list if you like it because i'll be updating it occasionally with new dresses! let's face it, these sites have hundreds and hundreds of pages of clothing, and it's a nightmare to sift through. but i stand by the fact that you don't need to be spending hundreds of dollars on a dress, AND that you don't need to be wearing the same (plain) dresses as other people. i've searched through hundreds of dresses to find ones that are $100 and unique. both are also they're typically fairly quick and have a great easy return policy so i can order a bunch to try on and return.

I started developing this kit when I was planning my wedding; truly a “just in case everything goes wrong” bag for any small day-of emergency.

Now, I keep one in my desk at work, one in my gym bag and I pack a “mini” version for travel. It's a simple solution for massive peace-of-mind (and it makes as a GREAT wedding day gift!!!).

Here’s some things I used to plan my wedding! I’d like to help out some other ladies by recommending BUDGET FRIENDLY options. :)
