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
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
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
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.

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
“It was always you.” Jim and Pam; Ross and Rachel; David and Patrick; Hannah and Garrett. If there’s anything I’ve learned from sitcoms and scripted series, there’s nothing simple about love and living happily ever after. If I’ve learned anything, romance isn’t flowers being brought to you every day after work. It’s not chocolate and … Continue reading Tale as Old as Time
