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
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
At the end of April, G and I went to Scottsdale, Arizona to see his siblings, celebrate birthdays and spend some time away from home and in some sunshine! I haven’t ever traveled with Garrett’s family so I was a little on edge, but it was the best time ever. One of my closest friends … Continue reading Scottsdale in the Zona
I figured after a much needed creative refreshment, it’s finally time to share my birthday brunch at LAW, a restaurant in the Four Seasons Resort and Club at Dallas (Las Colinas). This was 100% my plan for my birthday brunch last year, but seeing that my birthday falls right in the middle of April, 2020 … Continue reading The LAW Around Here
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
A couple of weeks ago, I got to share all about our cottagecore Engagement Party and this week, I’m so excited to chat about the Bridal Brunch that I hosted. Since I had my best girls in town (well most of them) for the engagement party, it was the perfect opportunity to pop the question … Continue reading Will You Be…
It’s officially engagement season and to kick it off, Garrett and I started it with an engagement party! Although we got engaged in November, we hadn’t had the opportunity to celebrate with family and friends because...idk...a pandemic is happening. However, most of our guests had already received the vaccine and the rest quarantined or got … Continue reading Horton’s Getting Muery’d!
We’re not totally into the full-wedding-planning period yet, but we have started locking some concepts, colors and creative ideas that we’ve had. We’ve decided to say no to kids being at the wedding and that we want it small; we’ve chosen the style and season; now - we have to lock down the venue. After … Continue reading I Do, Venue
I haven’t been too vocal about being furloughed for six months, unfortunately due to feeling humiliated and embarrassed, as well as having bitterness to the entire situation. I returned to work at the beginning of this month and it’s been quite the adjustment. I learned to reframe my mindset after having a strict schedule of … Continue reading Laying Off My Furlough
This year, I set a goal of reading two books a month, or 24 total books for the year and I did it! I was really proud of myself because none of them were re-reads and they were all different types of genres. One plus side of my six month furlough was that I had … Continue reading 2020’s Best Books…In My Opinion
