There is so much that goes into planning a wedding. From picking out your dream dress to deciding what to serve for dessert, brides want every little detail to be perfect (as it should be). It can be super overwhelming try to figure out which vendors you want to use for your special day. I have nothing but positive things to say about every single one of my wedding vendors and I wanted to share them with you in case you are planning your very own Charleston wedding.

The First Look is something you hear a lot about these days when it comes to weddings. There are so many pros for doing one and I can see the appeal! I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to do one on our wedding day. There were so many reasons why I wanted to do one, but also so many reasons why I didn't! 

Being a bridesmaid is not cheap! Not only do they have to pay for their dresses (and sometimes hair and makeup), there are also travel expenses involved in most cases! Seven out of my eight bridesmaids were not local to Charleston, so they and their families had to travel and pay for lodging in order to attend! I mentioned before that I really wanted to spoil my gals, so I wanted to make their gifts very special!

I am so excited to share details on both of my wedding dresses! You may have saw that I had both a ceremony dress and a reception dress, and am SO happy I made the decision to change dresses during the reception! The weekend before our wedding I met up with my photographer at our wedding venue to take my bridal portraits of both my dresses, and here's the result! 

Something I was really excited about, but also stressing out about a little bit, was deciding what I was going to give Cab as a wedding day gift. This is such special and exciting gift, but my husband is so difficult to shop for, that I just didn't know what to get him.. And I wanted it to be perfect. 

We had the absolute best time in the Maldives (and Dubai) for our Honeymoon!! I got so many comments/questions on the swimsuits that I wore, so I figured I would round up everything in a blog post for y'all. I've included where I bought every swimsuit, as well as sizing info!

It's no secret that I have been loving white dresses in this phase of my life! Being engaged has been the absolute best! I knew for our rehearsal dinner I wanted another white dress (shocker), and I also knew I wanted it to not be super casual, but also not super fancy. AND I FOUND IT! And would you believe that it's from David's Bridal?!

It's no secret that I'm a Disney fan, and some of you weren't very surprised when I announced that I was going to Disney World for my bachelorette party! From my blog name to my Cinderella inspired engagement, I'd say that going to Disney World was pretty on brand for me! I literally had THE best time, that I wanted to do a full recap here for anyone wanting to plan a girls trip in the future!

I absolutely love being a bride! Not only because the fact that I'm getting a fiancé (and have a gorgeous ring), but also because of my updated wardrobe! I have been using every opportunity/excuse that I can to purchase and wear white dresses. I got so many compliments on both my bridal shower dress (on sale for $23) and my bachelorette party dress- and for good reason (I'm obsessed with both of them)! But since they are from the same shop, I felt it was my duty to share where I purchased both of them with y'all!

We are just one month out from our wedding! HOW?! It is so crazy how quickly our engagement has flown by! It seem's like just yesterday Cab was down on one knee, I cannot believe that he will be my HUSBAND in just a months time!

I am so excited to finally share our Downtown Charleston, SC Engagement Photos! Cab does not like being in front of the camera, so I was pretty nervous about how this shoot would go! Spoiler alert: it went great! Even better than I could have imagined! We used these tips to accomplish the best (in my opinion) engagement shoot ever, so I thought I would share these helpful tips with y'all!

One of my favorite things about wedding planning so far, besides the food tasting lol, has been asking my favorite gals to be my bridesmaids! I have always loved looking on Pinterest at the fun ways that others have asked their bridesmaids, so I was so excited to finally be able to ask mine! Here's a peak inside my bridesmaid proposal boxes!

We are about six months away from our wedding, and I cannot believe it! Time is absolutely flying by! One of the most common questions I have been getting asked lately is about how the planning is going. Since a ton of you seem to be interested, I thought it would be fun to share with y'all what all I have checked off my to-do list, and what else still needs to be done.

My favorite thing about wedding planning thus far has been shopping for my wedding dress! It is such an exciting time and full of so many memories, it’s really something you will never forget. But it can also be a very stressful time! In order to try to help you have the BEST wedding dress shopping experience, I wanted to share with y’all 6 tips for picking out your dream wedding dress.

I have never been much of a workout class kind of gal. Usually when I'm trying to get in shape, I go for runs and then do some at-home exercises. But when Fit Culture reached out to offer to help me get in shape for my wedding, I knew it was a sign and I shouldn't resist!

Well here we are, I've come back to the blogging world after being MIA to bring you my next Wedding Wednesday post! I am so excited to share with you my save the dates, because well I love them, and I wanted to give y'all some advice that I was given prior to creating them!

Here we are!! My first Wedding Wednesday post, and a highly anticipated one at that! If you haven't been keeping up with me on Instagram, I'M ENGAGED!! After 6.5+ years, Cab finally put a ring on it! Make sure you're comfortable, this is going to be a long one...
