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[...]

Wedding Wednesday: My Grace Loves Lace Wedding Dress

Big Bear City, CA

Four months later and I'm FINALLY getting around to sharing some details from our May 8th wedding! I want to start off my sharing my Grace Loves Lace wedding dress since it was one of my favorite parts about our wedding.

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[...]

Winter Wedding Guest Dresses

Today I'm back with another Wedding Wednesday post! I know a lot of weddings look very different right now, but I also know that there are lots of weddings happening fairly "normally" still, which I love!! So, I wanted to put together a post for anyone who's attending a wedding and needs some winter wedding guest dresses! I categorized them by color and also sequins because I think a lot of us probably want an excuse to wear sequins right now! haha To shop the photos above, all you have to do is hover over the image and clic[...]
