Wedding

We got married on January 25, 2020 in Austin, Texas and had the best time! We got engaged in August of 2019 and moved to Denver shortly thereafter. With only a 6 month engagement, things happened very quickly and that Fall of 2019 was quite the crazy time for both of us! In this category, you’ll find blog posts about all things wedding-related from our engagement story to my bachelorette and our wedding recap!

Our Engagement Photos

With all the hustle and bustle of the wedding planning and moving to Denver (and then all the trips back and forth for planning meetings + the holidays), I realized that I never actually posted about our engagement photos on the blog. And since it’s something I often get questions about, I wanted to dedicate a blog post to it! Before we took ours, I put together a blog post…

All About Our Wedding Ceremony

I’ve shared this with y’all before, but the ceremony was the most important part to me and Duncan and we wanted it to be extra special and meaningful. Of course we were excited about the celebration, but the ceremony is what we looked forward to the *most* that weekend! That being said, we put a lot of thought into the music especially and order of events that went on during…

What I’ve Been Using From Our Registry So Far

Outfit Details: Colorblock Crewneck Sweatshirt (wearing size xs) // High Waist Joggers (wearing size xs) I seriously can’t believe it’s been one month (yesterday!) since Duncan and I got married! It’s honestly been such an amazing last 30 days or so. Between moving in together, settling in as Mr. and Mrs., and enjoying married life, it’s been one of my favorite months of my life. It just feels RIGHT ya…

Our Honeymoon Recap & Some Tips on Planning Your Own

I’ve gotten several questions about our honeymoon so I thought it might be helpful to put together a blog post outlining the trip for those of you planning your own. Also if you have any questions I didn’t address, feel free to leave a comment below and I can do my best to answer! We knew we wanted to do it right after the wedding so that we could decompress…

Our Wedding Recap

As I’ve been putting this post together, I cannot help but smile! I honestly can’t believe it’s all over and I’m kinda said it is, but I’m also so glad at the same time (ha!). But all that to say, it truly was the best day of my life. To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out which photos to put in this blog post because I didn’t…

All About My Reception Dress

Hi friends! I’m so excited to be writing this post and sharing all the behind the scenes of creating a dress from scratch. It has been such an AMAZING experience and I’m so pleased with how the dress turned out. Since my ceremony dress is princess style, I knew I wanted to something a little more fitted and that would be easier to move around (and dance!) in. I worked…

What I Packed For My Honeymoon

Happy Friday y’all! It feels like we just got back from our honeymoon but dang, looking at this first picture of Duncan and I makes me miss it SO much! We honestly had the best first week as husband and wife and I can’t wait to share more with y’all. I have a full post on where we stayed, tips for planning a honeymoon, and all that fun stuff coming…

What I Wore To Our Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party

I’ve gotten some questions about the dress I wore to our rehearsal dinner and since I had *so* much fun designing it, I thought it would be fun to let y’all in on the planning process! I hadn’t originally planned to get a dress made for our rehearsal dinner, but I had so much fun working with Mackenzie to create my reception dress that we decided to create another dress…

Our Wedding Invitations

When it came to planning my wedding, I’ll admit that all the “paper” involved was not something I’d really thought much about before. If you’ve ever been married you know there’s a crazy amount of paper goods involved, which TBH kind of overwhelmed me pretty quickly. I wanted to keep things classic and easy, which is why I went to the Bell’Invito showroom. Once I was there I’m happy to…

The [Decor] Vibe I Want For My Wedding

I meant to write this post months ago, but I just never got around to it. I thought it might be fun to sort of spell out what I *hope* my reception to feel and look like! And I seriously cannot wait to walk into the room and see it all come together. I know I’ll be happy no matter what it looks like, but I thought it might be…

Bachelorette Recap

So excited to be sitting down to put together this blog post recapping this past weekend! I had pretty high hopes for my bachelorette weekend and I have to say, it was exactly what I wanted! I’ve never really been a big party-er, so I knew I wanted something extremely relaxing and rejuvenating. I’ve always LOVED Cabo and knew it would be the perfect January getaway to escape the cold…

What to Wear for Engagement Photos

If you followed along on Stories last weekend then you saw Duncan and I got our engagement photos taken!! Ahh, I’m SO excited to see how they turned out!! We went down to Colorado Springs to Garden of the Gods Park, which is absolutely stunning and I highly recommend it for engagement photos or just to visit! Such a cool Colorado sight! But anyway, let’s focus on the task at…

How I Asked My Bridesmaids

Doing something sweet and personalized for my bridesmaids was one of the little things I was really looking forward to when it came to wedding planning! I might not have ever thought about what kind of dress or wedding I wanted, but I DID dream about what little gifts I would get my friends! I think it’s such a fun little personalized touch and way to thank your friends for…

Wedding Dress Shopping at Stanley Korshak Bridal

I’m so excited to finally share my experience of finding my wedding dress! It was SUCH a fun process and honestly, it still feels surreal! Obviously, it’s a HUGE moment and one of those things you loosely think about and then when it’s here, you don’t even know where to start! Before beginning my hunt, I asked around and began looking for reviews online – I knew I wanted to…
