This was such a fun planning month for me! I had the most stunning bridal shower thrown for me by my Maids of Honor, we started planning the bachelorette party and there was so much less on my plate, so it was great! We also sent out our save-the-dates and I am so excited to … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Eight Months Out
An Ode to the To-Do
I figured I’d take a break from writing about wedding planning and events to talk about the true love of my life - writing lists.

An Honest Bride: Nine Months Out

You’re My Rock, My Colorado
If you have me on social media, you know by now that my Grandmother died a week ago. It’s been hard. Brutal, really.

An Honest Bride: Eleven Months Out
I love how strong I was a month ago, saying that I wouldn’t hire a wedding planner.

Aside from that, June - July … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Eleven Months Out
The Bebe Edit: Ballparks & Babies & Balloons
Sometimes it's really hard for me to remember 2019 - the year of the weddings! 2021 is definitely the year of the baby (shoutout to COVID-19) and I think I love it more! Being able to take a break from my own wedding planning to love on my girls and their soon-to-bes is one of … Continue reading The Bebe Edit: Ballparks & Babies & Balloons
