    Before I say anything else I just need to put it out there that I AM SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS POST!!!!!! I know many people have been looking forward to this post ever since I posted this pic on instagram during our honeymoon: I got so many questions from everyone about what and how and “omg please take tons of pics” and I am going to answer all of them now! Today I’m telling you all about what it was like to dine inside Disneyland’s Club 33!! I had to check to make sure that I was allowed to…

    Shopping for My Wedding Dress

    March 1, 2018 / 8 Comments

    Something I’ve really been looking forward to writing about after we got married was the process of shopping for my wedding dress!! I obviously couldn’t post any pics or talk about this before the wedding because I didn’t want Chris to see any of the dresses I was looking at. This post isn’t really meant to be anything super helpful or informative, I kinda just wanted to talk about my experience. Also, the shop that I bought my dress from has since gone out of business so it’s not like this post will be any help to anyone now, but…

    Away Luggage Bigger Carry On Review

    February 25, 2018 / 8 Comments

    It’s been almost two weeks since we got back from our amazing honeymoon and I’ll probably never stop talking about how amazing it was!! We had so much fun and so many fabulous new experiences – it was the perfect way to celebrate our wedding and spend time together. In the midst of our honeymoon planning, we realized that it would probably be a good idea for us to get some new luggage. Up to this point we had kind of just used whatever we had around for travel – I have a Vera Bradley duffel bag I like, and…

    DIY Bridesmaid Emergency Kits

    February 22, 2018 / No Comments

    If you’ve done any wedding planning or research, I’m sure one of the things you’ve come across has been some kind of list or “emergency kit” of items the bridesmaids & bride should have on the wedding day. I know I saw them all over Pinterest in my planning. There’s a lot of cute ones you can buy – this one has been a popular choice to pop up in my searches a lot: Or, if you’re like me and remember that you wanted to make bags for your bridesmaids like a week before the wedding……you can make your own! I…

    My Wedding Makeup

    February 20, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Here we are with another wedding post! I know you’re all excited. As I’m sure you’ve noticed if you’ve been reading my blog for more than a few minutes, I really love makeup. I love doing my makeup, buying new makeup, even just going into Sephora is a stress relief for me. So it should come as no surprise that I did my own makeup for my wedding! However, you may be surprised to know that I was actually really hesitant to do it myself! Idk, I was just worried that I wouldn’t be able to get it perfect, or…

    2017 Year in Review & Favorites

    January 5, 2018 / No Comments

    Before I jump into this post – check out my new blog theme!! I decided the start of the new year was as good of an excuse as any to spruce things up around here. The sizing and details on some stuff is still a little wonky while I work everything out but go ahead and have a look around – I hope you like it! I figured with the new year it was time for me to write a “end of 2017” post or something, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it. I want to include…

    Chraela Wedding Planning: One Month!!!

    January 2, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Happy new year!! I know – two wedding posts in a row! If it seems like all I write about now is the wedding, that’s because all I think about now is the wedding. I hope you had a great holiday and lovely new years’ celebration. While January 1 represents a lot of things for many people, for us it means that we are only ONE MONTH away from the wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are equal parts stressed and excited. Well, honestly I’m actually probably feeling more excited than stressed, but rest assured I am definitely still stressed haha We are down to…

    November 2017 Favorites

    December 6, 2017 / No Comments

    I cannot believe it is already DECEMBER 2017! Where did the year go? I also can’t believe how little I have been writing on here lately. I always say that I never want this blog to become a chore for me, and lately I just haven’t been motivated to write. I feel like it’s really annoying to point out how long it has been in every post lately…so from now on I am going to stop acknowledging when it’s been a while haha. Unless it’s been like, a LONG while haha So anyway… with all that being said, here’s my favorite…
