My bachelorette party was themed Last Trail Before the Veil. We stayed at the cutest cabin in the Red River Gorge.

Some of it is gifts for your bridesmaids and friends.

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.

I got engaged last year— here is what I am looking into for all things wedding, just a place to start for decor, details and anything else!

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.

A laid-back girls trip theme with a mix of western touches and winery weekend vibes. Think boots, wine tastings, neutral tones, pops of red, and simple decor that feels fun without trying too hard. It’s the perfect balance of cozy, playful, and easy to pull together for a bachelorette weekend with the girls.

Need help with finding the perfect wedding guest dress based off the wedding type. I am talking that garden/outdoor, beach wedding. formal/black tie wedding, city modern wedding. I got you!

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. If you're the type who puts real effort into celebrations but keeps getting stuck on the cake detail — this saves you the three-hour rabbit hole I went down.

Planning a wedding or dinner party and realizing place card holders cost more than the actual food per plate? I spent weeks comparing bulk options after nearly dropping $200 on tiny metal clips for my sister's reception. These are the ones that fooled every guest into thinking we splurged, and most came out to 30-40 cents a piece. Grab them early because shipping times get brutal closer to wedding season.

Seriously, though, this is MY royal wedding. To celebrate, here's a mood board for the wedding. And Taylor, if you see this, I'd LOVE an invite!

I had so much fun putting this list together, I want to get married now! Let one of these designer wedding invitations inspire your creativity! I love looking at wedding theme ideas, and I am definitely drawn to the more luxurious deeper color palettes. The themes that feel cozy, but rich, and sometimes colorful and eclectic! I imagine these weddings would be romantic, at night, maybe in the fall or winter, and definitely romantic! My personal favorite is the first one, with the rustic poppies and parchment paper. I imagine a evening fall wedding with lots of fairy lights and mulled wine. All of these themes are represented by an invitation.

If you find yourself in the life season of going to plenty of weddings, you need a good arsenal of great dresses, comfortable shoes and a stash of secret essentials to get you through! This is everything you need

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.

List of potential dresses to use for weddings. These are targeted for formal to semi formal weddings not black tie. Mainly for weddings in warmer areas. Most dresses are also targeted for a mid size body type with a lower belly and smaller chest.

Every veil and comb in those glossy bridal magazines looked stiff and overdone — like a costume instead of something I'd actually wear. If you want soft, romantic hair pieces that don't scream ‘prom queen 2007’ and you're tired of scrolling through thousands of identical rhinestone clips, this is the shortlist that took me four months of obsessive searching to build.

Fall weddings are so beautiful! Here are a few dresses I will be wearing this fall and other options as well!

Guest attire you can wear again & again 🩷💍

Fall wedding? I've got you covered. Whether you prefer solids or prints, short or midi these are great options for your special occasion.

We spent months picking out the perfect dining table after the wedding, then left water rings on it within the first week. If you're a newlywed couple moving into your first place together and you want coasters that actually mean something — not just random cork circles from a dollar store — I tracked down the ones worth keeping forever. Grab these before you host your first dinner party and panic.

Different options for Father’s Day gifts ! Google shows the same gifts constantly so these are out of the ordinary from that.

From the "yes to the dress" spiral straight through the last dance, here's every bridal shoe and accessory I'd actually put on a bride — comfortable flats for getting ready, statement heels for the aisle, something blue for tradition, and the bags, jewelry, sunnies, and little extras that pull the whole look together. New England sentimental, Nashville practical.

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!

Althought I'm not getting married for at least 4-5 years, here is everything I can NOT wait to buy for my wedding (that I've been planning since I was 12)!

From a bow-themed birthday party to a “She's Tying the Knot” bachelorette party, here's a roundup of the best the bow-themed decor and party favors!

I loved my wedding, but the planning was not for me. Keeping it as budget friendly as possible was super important to me! I found so many cute wedding gifts/ accessories for myself, my bridesmaids & groomsmen that didn’t break the bank!

Wedding favors can be useful or not, and I've been to weddings where there were favors everywhere you turned. I've also been to weddings with no favors at all, and that's fine. But if you do want to give your guests wedding favors, you should try to make them something that you can eat, or something that's actually useful. These are some ideas for things that your guests can use after the wedding.

Elegant wedding guest dresses for women over 50: draped satin, velvet, lace and feathers from Valentino-level ateliers like Oscar de la Renta, Elie Saab, Victoria Beckham, Safiyaa and Brunello Cucinelli. Mother of the bride and black-tie looks, edited by a creative director.

I have never been 100% sold on traditional wedding dresses. The thought of investing close to $10k for your dream dress always sat uneasy for me. Wearing something more simple or not necessarily “bridal” branded really speaks to me. Here are a list of some of those dresses that I love for a more laid back bridal look that you won’t find in a bridal store.

Curated picks for couples building their wedding registry or decorating their newlywed home. From plush bath mats to personalized doormats and charming ceremony accessories, these finds make setting up your life together a breeze.

These 20 1 year anniversary gift ideas for him mix small, thoughtful add-ons with real upgrades to the things he carries, wears, and uses every single day, so the first paper anniversary feels like more than a card. I built this one after watching my own husband wear through three wallets before I finally bought him one meant to last, so every pick here had to earn its spot the same way mine did. From a $17 tin of tea to the one splurge he will actually brag about, there is something here no matter what your first year together looked like. Tell me in the comments which one you ended up wrapping.

Spent months watching generic wedding favors end up in trash cans at the end of every reception I attended — koozies nobody wanted, stale Jordan almonds, candles that smelled like a department store. When it was my turn to plan, I refused to waste money on stuff people ditch in the parking lot. These are the handmade favors that guests actually took home, used, and texted me about weeks later. If you're deep in wedding planning and drowning in Pinterest boards, this saves you the trial and error.

This is the lighting I actually pack for Vegas weddings and corporate events. V100 and a FlashBender on camera, AD200s off camera, continuous for speeches, and the Bowens boxes they sit in. I've tried MagMod. I didn't like it. For shooters who want one speech-light kit that already lives in the bag.

Somewhere between opening gift number 47 and losing the little scrap of paper where you wrote down who gave you the KitchenAid, things fall apart. This is for the bride, groom, or couple who actually wants to send every thank you card without the guilt spiral three months later. I put this system together after almost losing my mind during my own wedding, and it saved friendships. Grab these before your registry gifts start rolling in.

Bridal showers cluster in the weeks before a wedding, which is exactly when a bride-to-be is running on caffeine and checklists. Build her a self-care gift basket around three moments: the getting-ready morning, the late-night wind-down, and the first week of married life. 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.

A collection of stylish, practical, and slightly life-changing home finds that make everyday life feel easier, cozier, and more put together. Think ambient lighting, luxury bedding, smart apartment upgrades, kitchen essentials, cozy home decor, and the kind of “boring” adult purchases you suddenly become obsessed with after moving in together. Perfect for modern wedding registry ideas, apartment essentials, home upgrades, and creating a space that actually feels warm, personal, and lived in.

The season of “yes” to forever 🤍 These are the items helping me plan, prep, glow, and soak in every moment before I say I do.

Everything I’ve loved (or wish I’d had) for wedding season — whether you're planning your own, helping a friend, or just looking for inspo. From bachelorette party ideas and outfit finds to makeup, wedding day must-haves, and vendor recs, this list covers a little bit of everything. Most of it can work for anyone, but since I'm in Kansas City, the location-based ideas (like venues, vendors, and activities) are KC-inspired.

I have been in the wedding industry for over 15 years and I LOVE seeing new trends. These are some of my favorite for guest books!

Escape to paradise and say 'I do' in the breathtaking Dominican Republic! Exchange vows amidst stunning beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant culture.

Our grand exit was supposed to be magical — instead half the guests couldn't get their bubble containers open and the other half blew sad little drips onto the sidewalk. If you're planning a wedding send-off and don't want your photographer capturing confused faces instead of floating bubbles, I tested a ridiculous number of options so you can skip the trial-and-error phase.
