I GOT MARRIED and it was the most magical day ever. I can honestly say that after dating my husband for eleven years, I have NEVER seen him as happy as I did on January 26, 2018. We seriously feel like the LUCKIEST people in the world to have celebrated with our closest family + friends.  I’m telling you…you could feel the love in that room.

I’m SO excited to share all the pretty little details, best memories and biggest regrets with you! Links below to pretty much everything. And if you’re a bride who is planning a wedding, please feel free to reach out with an questions you may have, or moral support (I know it’s a stressful time, but soooo worth it in the end). I used to be an event planner, so this kind of stuff is my LIFE BLOOD and I’m happy to help!

 

PRETTY LITTLE DETAILS

BIGGEST REGRET 

Spend the money on a videographer! DO IT! Everyone told me not to because they never end up watching theirs, but at least you have the option to if hire someone! Seriously, the day goes by so fast and you’re so busy, you don’t get a chance to take everything in!

DIY 

For brides on a budget, DIY + Amazon Prime + Spray Paint are your best friends. Order the little things that nobody else will notice off Amazon (table numbers, picture frames, escort cards) and then pretty them up with spray paint or my personal favorite, wax stamps!
