I haven’t stopped smiling since Saturday. Our wedding was more perfect than I ever imagined. It still feels like a dream and I’m so ridiculously happy. In the days leading up to our big day, I barely slept. The forecast for May 30th kept getting worse — rain and storms all day. By Friday, we […]

Wedding Wednesday: The Final Countdown
We are just ten days away from our wedding. I still can’t believe it’s almost here! Earlier tonight, James and I were talking about how it hasn’t really hit us yet that we’re finally going to be married. We’ve been talking about and planning a wedding for so long that we don’t feel any different […]
Wedding Wednesday: Letting It Go
We’re just about two weeks away from the wedding, y’all. HOLY COW. I can’t tell you how excited I am for the big day to get here. James and I have been engaged for about a year and a half. It’s been great because we’ve been able to spread the planning process out and really […]
Wedding Wednesday: The Food
James and I made our last trip home before the wedding over the weekend. It still hasn’t hit me that we’re getting married in a matter of weeks! We went home to finalize some details with vendors, finish up some DIY projects and do a little much-needed relaxing. One of the many things on our to-do […]
Wedding Wednesday: CAKE!
Our baker made the best mistake ever. When it was time for us to choose the flavors for our wedding cake, she accidentally gave us someone else’s samples.

Wedding Wednesday: Picking Out Bridesmaid Dresses
Did I fail to mention my bridesmaids are all total babes? They can wear anything and make it look good. But, I want them to feel good when they’re at the wedding, too. One of the many things I love about these girls is how unique all of their personalities are — including their styles. […]
Wedding Wednesday: Choosing Your Bridal Party
I’m extremely lucky to have so many amazing gal pals. From college, to my first job, to my new life in Bloomington, I’ve formed friendships that will last a lifetime. If I could, I would have every single one of my girls standing up next to me on my wedding day. But, having 18 bridesmaids […]
Wedding Wednesday: Choosing A Venue
In about eight weeks, James and I will be standing in that very spot, saying “I do.” Is this the point in the wedding planning process when I panic? Or maybe just drink a lot of wine? Luckily, we have most of the details of our big day nailed down (the benefits of a year and a […]
Wedding Wednesday: Planner vs. DIY
Two months. That’s how far away James and I are from getting married. It’s hard to believe because we’ve been planning our wedding for a year and a half. From the moment we got engaged, I knew I wanted a DIY wedding. I love hosting events and believe the little details that go into them […]
