My Wedding Dress
Let’s talk wedding dresses! In my mind, the dress is one of the first things you should check off your list (after your venue is booked, date is picked, and your photog/videographers are booked – a full version of my wedding timeline is coming!) Here were my requirements for a dress: I wanted straps- thicker than a spaghetti strap but not too wide A deep, plunging v-neckline Something that was fitted through my torso and then just fell to the floor (this part was extremely tricky – I didn’t want an A-line shape, but not a mermaid style either. I just wanted […]
The Wedding Series
I bet y’all forgot about this little blog of mine, didn’t you? With Instagram at the tip of my fingers, I’ve found that over the last couple years my blog has taken a back seat when sharing content and I want to change that – starting with The Wedding Series. Almost four months ago now I got to marry my best friend in the whole world down in Cabo with our closest friends and family there to celebrate with us. To say it was the best day (and week) ever, is a huge understatement. Hayden and I had the time […]
Finding My Wedding Dress at d’Anelli Bridal
Shopping for your wedding dress is one of the most special and fun parts of wedding planning. And seeing yourself in a wedding gown for the first time, even if it’s not the one, is a super surreal. I was one of those brides who was super picky and particular and the kind that I’m sure bridal boutiques hate (lol). Luckily for me, d’Anelli bridal had exactly what I was looking for and I had the best experience while shopping there. Research Before I went into d’Anelli I did a ton of research on which designers they carried by checking […]
Engagement Photos
Sharing the photos from our dreamy engagement session today on the blog! These photos were done by Mado Photo and to say she is super talented is a major understatement! Not only that, but she is the absolute sweetest and we had a blast shooting with her. I have linked her website here and her Instagram here and I would highly recommend giving her a call if you are in the market for some photos! I have pinned all of these photos on my Pinterest account so make sure you follow me over there and save those to your boards […]
Bridesmaid Proposals
I’ve. Got. BRIDESMAIDS!! I can’t even explain how excited I was about this! Right after getting the venue booked, my next top priority was bridesmaid proposals.

We’re Engaged!
HOW IT HAPPENED: For about four years now, Hayden and I have had the tradition of heading to Vail for our anniversary and enjoying a relaxing weekend together – this year was no different. We decided to head up on Friday morning and leave Sunday morning so that we would have two full days in the mountains. About a month before our weekend getaway, Hayden suggested that he make plans for us on Friday, and I make plans for us on Saturday. That sounded good enough to me! The night before we left we went to my parents house for […]
