With wedding season right up the alley, I personally have a lot of weddings to attend to (some friends, some family) and in the past it's always been a hassle for me to figure out what to wear based on the theme. I think I'm finally at a point where I've perfected each theme to a T, so this is my way of giving back!! I know how hard it can be to find a nice dress and sometimes even find one last minute. So here is a run down of my favorite guest outfits for a black tie theme wedding.
Planning your big day on a budget? Don’t stress 🤍 I’ve put together this list of gorgeous SHEIN wedding dresses under $150 that are stylish, elegant, and perfect for saying “I do” without breaking the bank. Whether you’re having a small wedding, courthouse ceremony, or just want a stunning second dress, these affordable picks will have you feeling like a bride while keeping your wallet happy 🤍
So our ring bearer was three years old and I realized two months before the wedding that a satin pillow from a big box store would last approximately four seconds in his hands. If you're planning a wedding and your tiny ring bearer has sticky fingers and zero chill, these handmade pillows actually hold up, look incredible in photos, and won't slide the rings off mid-aisle. Took me weeks of scrolling so you don't have to.
Nobody warns you that six hungry, nervous women in robes will absolutely spiral before the ceremony if you don't feed them properly. I planned a gorgeous wedding but almost forgot the morning-of fuel — cue one bridesmaid nearly fainting during photos and another snapping at the makeup artist. Took me way too long to figure out the right spread, so here's everything I'd buy again in a heartbeat.
Pink themed bat mitzvah party decorations, invitations, and favors with personalized name over the white Star of David. Lots of cute desserts and welcome signs with your photo. Favorite pink dresses at the bottom of the list.

Take a look at everything I bring to a wedding as a wedding photographer. Wedding days require a lot of equipment and a lot of back up equipment. There are some fun things I like to use on a wedding day as well!
Based on my own wedding prep, I don't have much time or room for buying mistakes, so I compare options, read reviews, and check what other people say before I spend. I haven't tried these myself, so this is research, not a testimonial. Here's what kept making the cut for a bridesmaid proposal box, from a silk sleep mask to the card itself, plus a few small things that save the day, like blister cushions and a stain pen. Tell me what you'd add!

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.

Floral wedding arches are so expensive even if they are made with fake flower and you're renting. I decided to make my own to save some money because weddings are already so expensive!! I made my own floral decor with purchases from amazon for under $250. It did take some time to put together but I was so proud of it, and it saved me so much money. I put together this list to help other brides who are trying to DIY some items! This list is everything I purchase to make my arch and a little summary of how I put everything together! I hope you get some use out of it and honestly DM me or leave a comment if you have any questions! I would be more than happy to help!! <3 Also, I was able to sell the arch for $500 to another bride after my wedding!

Finding a gift for the groom that doesn't feel generic or forgettable is surprisingly hard. Every search returns the same boring flask or cufflink set. This list is for the best man, groomsman, bride, or parent who wants to hand him something that makes him pause and get a little misty on the morning of the wedding. Took me three weddings and a lot of trial and error to lock this lineup down.
