It’s me…hi… It’s been a while, to say the least, and not totally by choice. I’ve been overwhelmed and, therefore, this online journal took quite the back burner in comparison to everything else. I did have the wedding of my dreams (with some hiccups) and am finally excited to share all of the excitement from … Continue reading Choose Your Fighter: Bridesmaid Edition

An Honest Bride: Three Months Out
The Bachelorette Getaway is done, the invitations have been mailed and we are less than three months away from our wedding day! I’m not going to lie, this is the first time it’s started to feel real to me and I’m starting to get nervous about everything coming together perfectly but I’m so excited for … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Three Months Out
A Palm Sprung Bachelorette
I recently went from Moët to Mrs. in Palm Springs with my bridesmaids, Matron of Honor and Maid of Honor and…you guys…it was the bachelorette weekend of my dreams! We all escaped pretty brutal winters from Oklahoma, Texas, Washington D.C. and Oregon so going to the warm desert in the middle of February is truly … Continue reading A Palm Sprung Bachelorette
An Honest Bride: Eight Months Out
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!

An Honest Bride: Nine Months Out
August really put me on my butt - with a busy baseball schedule, I fell way behind in what I needed to get done for this month’s timeline. The good news is that I was pretty far ahead of the curve so I had a cushion of time to fall back a little on planning! … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Nine Months Out
An Honest Bride: Ten Months Out
I feel so behind on the wedding planning after having a game-filled July to take up pretty much all of my time. The positives are that we went to Colorado to take our engagement photos but everything else just fell, sort-of, flat. Timeline - 10 Months in Advance Save Flower Photos: The flowers are my … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Ten Months Out
An Honest Bride: Eleven Months Out
I love how strong I was a month ago, saying that I wouldn’t hire a wedding planner. I am now eating crow and paying out for A Toast Custom Event Planning and I’m already so obsessed with these ladies so I know it’s going to be totally worth it. Aside from that, June - July … Continue reading An Honest Bride: Eleven Months Out
An Honest Bride: One Year Out
I thought it would be super fun and potentially helpful to provide an as-I-go list of wedding planning and tips that have helped me through the wedding planning process. I love planning parties and I think of a wedding as just a large gathering of all of your favorite people, so I decided to forego … Continue reading An Honest Bride: One Year Out
To Have and to BHLDN
Wedding dress shopping has come and gone for me and I am so beyond thrilled with my gown, it’s not even funny. I went to BHLDN to look at dresses in Houston and honestly, it was amazing! I also had ordered two dresses to try on that were from online and I got to sip … Continue reading To Have and to BHLDN
My Turn to Pop the Question
If you’ve been following this journal of life (aka my blog) for a while, then you know by now that I am anything but traditional. When it came to asking my bridesmaids if they...well...would be my bridesmaids, I wanted it to be different. I love all of the weddings I’ve been in and all of … Continue reading My Turn to Pop the Question
