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.

Everything i tried and received for my bachelorette party and wedding events

My go-to wedding planning finds that helped me keep everything together without losing my mind. 😂💍

These are items I bought and used in my 2025 wedding! They are great quality and I highly recommend them!

Everything I bought and used to plan my best friend's Camp Bachelorette themed weekend which had a few little naughty touches to it! This was great for a girl's weekend in the woods!

We had a destination wedding in February 2025 and while we were able to purchase most of our stuff for the wedding through the resort, there were some personalized items we brought for our own personal touches!

These are my tried and true gifts that I always fall back on giving during birthdays, engagements, you name it! These are mostly personal and customizable that you don’t want to miss

Look, I’ve been to my fair share of weddings—some in vineyards, some in Vegas chapels, one in a barn that smelled faintly of hay and regret. And every single time, the same question pops up: “What on earth do I wear?” This isn’t some stiff, rule-heavy manual. It’s a friendly, no-BS roundup of dresses that actually work—whether you’re dealing with a “cocktail” invite that means nothing, a destination wedding in July, or your cousin’s ultra-formal church ceremony. Plus, real photos, real price ranges, and a gentle reminder: please, for the love of all things holy, skip the white.

Here are some ideas that I love and some that I went with for my Bridesmaids gift bags! I tried to gift a mix of cute things and also useful bits that my Bridal Party could use again.

I got engaged on December 5th, 2021, and married on October 1st, 2022!

This list is filled with the invitations, stationery, signage, and little extras that helped me bring my wedding vision to life. Think of it as your shortcut to the pretty pieces that make the whole day feel seamless and special. If you’re in the middle of planning, I hope this saves you time, stress, and gives you a touch of inspo for your own big day!

My bachelorette party was themed Last Trail Before the Veil. We stayed at the cutest cabin in the Red River Gorge. If you are looking at a similar theme such as Camp Bachelorette or Last Trail Before the Veil I hope this gives you some inspo. Some of it's decor. Some of it is gifts for your bridesmaids and friends.

Everything I used and loved for my daughter’s wedding and shower. So helpful, budget friendly, and beautiful!

Planning a wedding and drowning in generic bridal accessories that all look the same?

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. These invites are all found on Zazzle.com, a wonderful website for personalized stationary, cards and invitations.
