We had a blast celebrating my brother and sister-in-law’s marriage with a wedding luncheon over the weekend.

Our Wedding: The Rehearsal
After spending all day the Friday before our wedding getting the venue setup, I was absolutely exhausted. I had about an hour of downtime to shower and get ready for the rehearsal and dinner and I was starting to silently panic. The weather was awful on Friday and the forecast for Saturday wasn’t looking much better — […]
Our Wedding: Setting Up The Venue
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you’re enjoying the long weekend so far. We’ve kept things pretty low key because it’s been so long since we had some down time to relax and get chores done around the house. Today’s been the perfect balance of laziness and productivity! Today I’m rolling out the first in a […]
Reliving Our Big Day
I can’t stop smiling. James and I have spent the past two days constantly looking through our wedding photos, which we got back this week. It’s so much fun to relive the special moments of our big day through pictures. Our photographer, Stephen Haas, did a great job capturing the mood of the day. […]

Confession: I’ve had my wedding bouquet sitting in a brown paper bag on our kitchen table for nearly two months. Parts of it were molding. Gross, I know. I saved it after coming across this awesome idea for a wedding shadowbox during the wedding planning process. I thought it was such a touching, unique way to […]

As the daughter of a homebrewer, I grew up hopping from brew pub to brew pub on family vacations and helping my dad bottle his beer in our basement. It’s no surprise I inherited my dad’s love of hops. James shares that passion, […]
Wedding Wednesday: Bridal Party Gifts
It’s no secret that wedding costs add up quickly. You pick out a cake, a dress, the flowers — pretty soon you’ve spent enough to buy a car or put down a mortgage on a house! The costs can be overwhelming at times — and not just for the bride and groom. Being in the […]
Wedding Wednesday: Writing Your Own Ceremony
Good morning, loves! I hope the first half of your week is off to a great start. I’ve been home sick for the past two days dealing with a nasty ear and sinus infection. I’m finally starting to feel a little bit better after two days of barely getting out of bed. There’s been a […]
Wedding Wednesday: My Favorite Etsy Finds
(Photo by Stephen Hass Photography) I am so, so glad I planned a wedding in the age of Pinterest and Etsy. How did people do it before?! Both sites were invaluable when it came to finding inspiration for our big day. We knew we wanted to go with a tandem bike theme, but looking through […]
