Bride Blogger Christine: Moments With Those We Love

I have now spent just a week short of an entire year planning this event – from the flowers, the colors, the dress, the flavor of cake, and more.  But I hope that on the day of the wedding not a single one of those things really matters to me. I hope my grandma can be there. I hope she can see me wear the veil her daughter wore. I hope her and I can have a piece of cake together. And I would love to have those moments captured in a photo to have forever.  I hope that when I look back on my memories and the photos, I am drawn to laugh. Or to cry. Or to do both, while smiling. I know the details will come together, and I hope they set a wonderful backdrop for moments with the people I love.

Gift Guide

You may be getting married this year but that doesn’t mean your friends and family aren’t! Be prepared for shower and wedding gifts with registry staples. Crisp white linens and servingware is always a practical gift. Silver frames, a cake stand or salad server set can be great gifts as well. Think practical and thoughtful and you can’t go wrong!

Watercolor Dreams

The way these colors swirl together is so dreamy and romantic. We love the idea of using watercolor as a wedding inspiration for your decor and design. Coral, blush, citrus and pale yellow create a beautiful palette for a spring or summer wedding.

Bridal Essentials

Pack these few items away in your bridal tote for a day of comfort!

Heel Liners – keep your heels from being rubbed raw from your bridal shoes with these handy little liners!

Lip Balm – keep your lips hydrated through the countless smiles and kisses you’ll share on your big day.

Straws – avoid smearing your lipstick and keep hydrated by using a bendable straw with your water.

Blotting Linens – keep a shine-free forehead with these blotting linens.

Rollerball – stay fresh with a rollerball of your wedding day fragrance. Easy to apply and easy to stash in a small clutch!

Flats – if you are wearing heels on your wedding day, prepare for a shoe change by your reception. You’ll be more comfortable in a pair of stylish flats.
