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 🤍

Shopping for a wedding guest dress can be really stressful, but hopefully this list can give you some inspiration or help you find the ideal dress!

This list is full of resources for professional photographers, from camera gear to printing services and other essentials. I've been a pro-photographer for nearly 20 years, so everything I recommend has been tried and true.

One of my best friends is having a tropical destination wedding, and these are some of the dresses I've been eyeing. I'm trying to keep everything on a budget so I am looking for something below USD 350. The wedding is Encanto-inspired so definitely looking for something colorful, floral or ruffly that matches the vibes.

Looking for some inspiration for gifts - you have found the right list with options for a variety of occasions - espeically for bridal showers, baby events, and more.

Things I bought for my wedding weekend that made our day a success (All linked products are affiliate links)

Wedding hacks from a graphic designer (paper items!) and wedding looks that I scoured the internet for!

Everything I purchased for DIY to make my dream wedding possible!! Invitations, wax seals, iron on vinyl & more.

As someone who is recently engaged, I have included everything bridal for a photoshoot, bridal shower, or the big day!

Tossing the clichéd floral bouquet and coffee mug is a necessity at this point. Moms everywhere can now get it in one guess what they will be gifted for a special occasion like Mother's Day - the horror! The last thing you want is to become so predictable that your mom is now outsmarting you! There is no time like the present to shake things up and keep her guessing about her gift, one that also has just the right touch to convey a strong "I love you to bits" message. These gift ideas may very well be on her wishlist!
