You spend months planning every detail of your wedding, then hand guests a blank notebook from a craft store and hope for the best. If you want something you'll actually pull off the shelf ten years from now and read cover to cover, these are the ones that made me stop scrolling. Grabbed these before our spring wedding and zero regrets.

I have always adored a beautiful, personal invitation and am cognizant that it's the first impression your guests have about your wedding. I found myself incredibly overwhelmed selecting my own invitations, but I also found it an incredibly creative and fun process once I narrowed down my style. Here are some of my favorites - I hope they inspire you! Note: may contain affiliate links where I get a small commission at no cost to you. I only share products I love!

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.

Planning a wedding reception nearly broke me — between mismatched plates, flimsy cups that crumbled in guests' hands, and centerpieces that looked cheap no matter what I tried. If you're drowning in tableware options and your Pinterest board is mocking you, this is the lineup I landed on after returning way too many things. For brides, grooms, planners, or the friend who got voluntold to handle the tables — grab these before your RSVP deadline hits.

I've been blessed to photograph quite a few weddings in the last twenty years. I've seen quite a few brides and grooms struggle with the most basic tasks because they forgot that one thing. so I decided to create a list of everything I think a bride & groom should have on their special day.

What to wear to someone else's wedding can be overwhelming. Is this too white? Is this too formal? Is this too casual?

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.

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.

I have a few spring and summer weddings I'm gearing up for so I've curated a list of wedding guest dresses I'd actually wear. Most of the weddings I'll be attending are cocktail attire or semi-formal, but in this list I'll also include some formal dress options as well.

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.

These are the gifts I received for my wedding that have been the most used and loved in our home. Includes what I *wish* I had registered for as well!
