One of my favorite experiences during wedding planning was wedding cake tasting. It was delicious every time, but there were some things I wish I had known beforehand. Here’s a few things to expect from wedding cake tasting in this little know before you go guide. Know Before You Go: Wedding Cake Tasting Come with an empty stomach – Ever heard the phrase, Eat Cake for Breakfast? This is a good approach for wedding cake tasting. We found it best to show up on a mostly empty stomach. Even though samples are small, there’s a lot to try and you don’t want to fill up too soon! Have an idea…

There is just so much to catch up on post wedding. I’ve certainly been slacking in the blog post category. While photos are easy to snap and share on the gram, blog post take a little more time and thought. While it may take a little more time to put together, I sure have a lot of blog content I can put together. Like our mini moon at Disney.  The night of our wedding we ventured over to Disney’s Riviera Resort for a mini moon of 2 nights. While we could have just “gone home” it was a magical experience to stay a Disney for a couple of nights following…

It should be noted that I’m having way too much fun as a bride to be. So much in fact, that I’ve failed to take photos at most every wedding and bridal event. There’s snapshots taken here and there by friends and family, but certainly I’m not posing pretty for these photos. So while my bridal shower(s) were certainly ones to remember, there might not be the best photos to prove it. None the less, I had to share because my bridal shower completely blew me away. A Surprise Bridal Shower Unbeknownst to me, my maid of honor, mom, and future mother in law, threw me a surprise bridal shower…

Well it’s hard to believe but, my bachelorette party has come and gone. It was actually a jam packed weekend, but still a party. As much as I’ve planned and thought about the wedding, I haven’t felt much like a bride through it all. At least, not what they tell you being a bride feels like. But this weekend has certainly changed that. I am a bride. I am getting married in less than 2 months! My bachelorette party really put that into perspective for me. It’s the same perspective I had when I found the dress. (But not so much when picking it up, or going to my first…

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to write this post! I have had a wedding board since I first signed up for Pinterest back in high school. The wedding inspiration I’ve pinned has certainly changed over the years. From red and gold to themed weddings, my Pinterest board has seen it all. But I think it’s always been rooted in wanting something classic. While red, gold, and black are still classic, they are a bit more gothic than my taste are currently. My wedding inspiration has changed from gothic style to a more romantic style. I’d still consider both classic and timeless, one is just…

If you’ve been following along with you’ll know I’ve been to a handful of weddings the past few years. If I’m keeping track correctly (I’m probably not) I’ve gone to 8 weddings since the end of 2018. I guess when you say it, that doesn’t sound like that many, but trust me, it’s taken a toll. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally happy for all of them! But weddings are so draining. The weddings in 2019 especially drained me. Every month that spring had a wedding I attended. Even though they are draining (especially when traveling) they’ve all served as little inspirations for this moment! Planning my own wedding. (God…

Now that I’m a bride to be, I feel even less guilt for my blue floral obsession this summer. In fact, I’d say I’ve been wearing more bridal blue than I have white. (Though most of the time it is floral so there is quite a bit of white as well). I find myself using my Rent the Runway subscription looking solely for bridal blue and white. You never know when you’re going to need something for a bridal appointment or gathering. (I’ve had a handful of bridal appointments, but not so many gatherings. Can someone please just buy a bunch of balloons and pop some champagne and call it…
