Today’s 4 months since our big day and I’m actually nearing the end of my wedding content here on the blog! Welcome back to yet another wedding post – and this will be a big one. To go along with all my planning pages, I figured I would put together a list of absolutely EVERYTHING from our wedding – all our resources, where we bought stuff, and everything in between. It’s something I would have found helpful in planning our wedding and I also just want to share and show appreciation for everything and everyone involved. So…here’s the scoop! Here’s…

Wedding Week Preparations & DIYs!
We’re going a bit out of order here on our wedding posts but who really cares anyway? Today I’m writing all about the last minute preparations and DIYs that we did the week of the wedding! This will basically be a catch-all for the little DIY things we did that don’t really warrant their own post, but I wanted to write about somewhere anyway. My parents drove down to Florida a few days before the wedding, and with them came all of the DIY things that they had been working on at home. My mom already wrote a separate post…

Stila Glitter & Glow Shadows Review & Rundown
Time for something totally different today…! I haven’t done a makeup post in a LONG time so this will be fun! This post wasn’t originally in the cards but I was inspired to write it after the response I got to this photo I posted on my instagram story the other day: And I got a LOT of questions and responses about it on instagram and twitter! These are my favorite Stila Glitter & Glow liquid eyeshadows – it seemed like everyone was really interested in them so I decided to write a full review post 🙂 You may recognize…

Wedding DIY: Centerpieces
Surprise surprise it’s another wedding post today! I know there have been a LOT lately (aka it’s pretty much all I’ve been writing about) but I really want to finish up most of my DIY posts before I get on to the next huge and exciting blog project which will be our honeymoon! Today I’m talking all about our centerpieces. This post should actually be pretty straightforward because our centerpieces were actually one of the easiest things to put together… once we had an idea and all the necessary pieces. So here’s how it went. We had been floating around ideas…

Wedding DIY: Programs
Welcome to my third (!) post about DIY paper products for our wedding! I previously covered our signage and table numbers/escort cards, and today I’m going to show how I made our programs. Spoiler: it’s a lot of borrowing ideas and concepts from other people on the internet haha I previously showed a sneak peek of our programs in my pre-wedding post when we were one month out from the big day. As I mentioned in that post, we knew that we wanted an infographic-style program that was simple, informative, and fun. These were some examples I shared in that…

DIY Disney Cruise Door Magnets
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we’re going on a Disney cruise!! We’ve been busy planning away and getting ourselves excited for an amazing time. One of the things my family and I didn’t do last time because we booked on such short notice was decorate our stateroom door. While we were on the ship we saw tons of fun magnets and signs on people’s doors and it was super cute! This time we had more time to plan and prepare and I stumbled upon those door decorations again, and this time I wanted to do some for our…

Wedding DIY: Sola Flowers
Hi and welcome to another wedding post! This is going to be a big one – today we’re talking about how we made the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for my wedding from sola flowers! And this one’s a little different because… this post was written by my mom!! That’s me and my wonderful mother!! She was the mastermind behind the sola flowers, so I wanted to get her input before writing anything…and then I decided it would be easier to just let her tell the whole story rather than having me retell it. A little background first: our flowers were…

Wedding DIY: Wedding Signs
Welcome back to another DIY wedding post! Last time I wrote about how I made our FastPass inspired table numbers and escort cards. Continuing on the train of paper products, today I’m going to tell you all about how I made most of the signage for our wedding! Honestly, this was some of the easiest DIY we did for the wedding. Once I was confident in my ability to photoshop some FastPasses, I knew that some simple signage would be super easy. And it was! First, I made a list of all the signs we would need and what sizes…

Wedding DIY: FastPass Table Numbers
I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t consider our wedding to be a “DIY wedding” until I realized how many things we ACTUALLY made ourselves. I think one of the easiest things to DIY for a wedding is paper products. If you have any experience with graphic design (like I do, from all the livejournal icon contests I entered in the mid 2000s), photoshop, and access to a nice printer, you can do a lot of it yourself. The main reason I decided to design a lot of our stuff myself is because I had an image in my head of…

Our Wedding Album (+ a Shutterfly Sale!)
Just a quick post for today – things have been crazy but I wanted to at least post SOMETHING since it’s been a while! I have a ton of posts in my drafts I’ve been working on but nothing to post just yet…until today haha. I wanted to pop in and just share a short post about our wedding album! As soon as we got our wedding photos back I knew I wanted to use them in a bunch of different ways, to display and look at forever! One of the ideas I had was a huge album full of…
