Our Wedding Day: Wedding Day Attire, Part Two

Of all the things that go into wedding planning, I thought choosing Andrew's outfit and the groomsmen's looks would be the easiest by far. Well, I was wrong! Andrew and I went back and forth a lot on what he was going to wear. Initially, we wanted suits instead of tuxedos. This was really because we didn't want an old-school tux, with thick satin stripes down the pants and an ill-fitting jacket. That's all we'd ever seen! We also considered going with navy suits because it's both of our favorite ... VIEW THIS POST

Our Wedding Day: Wedding Day Attire, Part One

Pretty much the first thing anyone thinks of when they think of a wedding is the bride's dress. It's a fairy tale moment - the chance to wear something so iconic and special that you'll never wear anything like it again.

Our Wedding Day: Special Touches

It's finally time to dive into all the little details of our wedding day! I have been waiting soo long to share these special touches with you all. Thank you for your endless patience!

Ultimate Wedding Planning Timeline

Now that all is said and done, I know every single thing I did throughout the wedding planning process and when I did it (or wish I had done it!) and the ultimate wedding ... VIEW THIS POST

Engagement Photoshoot: Part Two

If you haven't seen Part One of our engagement photoshoot, go here. This stunning location is what inspired the entire photoshoot and I am so glad it did! We traveled about 2 hours outside of San Diego to get to the sand dunes and it was worth every single mile. Our photographer, Charissa Magno, originally suggested the dunes in Glamis as a potential location and after a two second Google, I was in. I immediately started dreaming up outfits that would stand a chance against the incredible ... VIEW THIS POST
