Wedding Wednesday: Palm Springs Bachelorette Weekend

Since we're currently in one of the peak engagement and wedding planning seasons, I thought I would finally share my Palm Springs bachelorette weekend details! In April last year, my maid of honor, 2 close friends and I went to Palm Springs, CA and stayed at The Saguaro Hotel for one night. I've been to that hotel many many times for events or just photos, but had never actually stayed there until then so I was super excited. The Saguaro is one of the most Instagrammable places in Palm Springs, so it was perfect for me :) My maid of honor, Jordan, organized[...]

Embarking on Our Biggest Adventure with the Toyota Highlander XSE

Big Bear City, CA

Hi, friends! I want to share the next part of the wedding, which was the Toyota car we drove that weekend! In case you missed it, we got married in Big Bear, which is one of the local mountains in SoCal. So we drove the Toyota up the mountain to our Airbnb, and then to the ceremony, which was on a family owned property in the woods (more on that later)! We needed something that was big enough to carry all our stuff up the mountain, would be tough enough for mountain roads, but got good gas mileage too. Toyota lent us the 2021 Highlander XSE AWD which was[...]

I want to start off my sharing my Grace Loves Lace wedding dress since it was one of my favorite parts about our wedding. I pretty much started looking for wedding dresses since only a few months in to Colton and I dating, which was about 1.5 years before we even got engaged 🙈 Through my searching, I discovered the boho wedding dress brand Grace Loves Lace. I knew I wanted something a little less traditional and more of a laid-back boho vibe, especially since[...]

Wedding Wednesday: Our Joshua Tree Engagement Photos!

Joshua Tree National Park

I can't believe I'm just now getting around to posting these, but here are our Joshua Tree engagement photos!!! We took these way back in January and I just never thought to do a blog post with them! We drove out to Joshua Tree National Park with our photographer/my friend Kim of @kimberlyhopephotography for the day and shot 2 looks at 2 different locations. We did one casual outfit, and one dressy outfit. I was actually thinking of wearing sequins for the dressy one and popping champagne, but I also really wanted photos with a super flowy dress, and I feel l[...]

My Boho Picnic Bridal Shower

My bridal shower was this past weekend and I can't believe it's over! When we were there, I was literally like, "I can't believe my bridal shower is happening right now." All of this just feels so surreal! Anyways, I'm excited to share photos from my boho picnic bridal shower with you today! Mandy from Seaside Picnic Rentals was so kind to set up this adorable backyard boho picnic bridal shower, which is something I've wanted to do for so long after seeing it all over Instagram the past couple years! Of course I wanted a pink color scheme and I love how it tur[...]
