The day before the wedding my three aunts threw me the sweetest bridal luncheon for all of my bridesmaids. They hosted it at a local restaurant in their event room so we got to have some space to ourselves which was super nice.

It was a good time to be able to relax and not stress about wedding stuff with my girls and just enjoy their company.
I’ve always known I’ve had great friends but wedding season is when I saw their love the most. I am so so grateful for each and every gal I have by my side. They make any situation better and I have never felt more love than I did on my wedding weekend. They were so intentional, excited, kind and I just loved every minute I got to spend with them. The real MVPs. It was so awesome to have all of my different friends in one place as well. I want to get married again just to be able to spend so much time with them again.

+ we got to eat some yummy foods before more wedding festivities began that evening.

#WeddingWednesday Why Engagement Sucks

Follow me

Engagement is such a weird time. We decided to do a “short” engagement. Our engagement is a total 5 and 1/2 months. Which I think is on the shorter end of most engagements. I honestly have no earthly idea why people wait longer than that. That seems miserable.

The beginning of engagement was super exciting. We were securing vendors, locations, trying on dresses and deciding what we wanted our day to be like. All of these things are super exciting and a lot of fun to plan. It’s finally planning the day you have always dreamed about and pulling off everything from your Pinterest board you started when you were 15.

This process was sped up super quick considering I knew all the vendors I wanted for our wedding since November. So our process was pretty much just putting down deposits.

After we had all of our vendors locked down things started to straight line a little bit. Ever since it feels like we’re just waiting for like three months for the wedding.

So waiting is the worst. We’ve been j chillin waiting for our wedding day to show up. And it is quite frankly annoyinggggggg.

Another thing that sucks about engagement season is that we’re making all these big decisions for our life, but we’re doing them 30 miles apart via phone calls. And making big decisions when you’re not with each other just creates room for miscommunication. I am beyond ready to be in person all the time and not talk on the phone.

Here we are 30 days away from the wedding!!!!
We are both oh so ready.
Now is crunch time… everything is coming together and the wedding stress of making sure everything is planned and everything is paid for is all happening now. It’s a lot. Now we’re still 30 miles apart trying to keep track of every detail.

phew. wedding planning ain’t no joke.
and engagement season is really just when the devil attacks your relationship the most.
We’re almost there and I am so so ready to be married to JAcob.
He’s the best.

How did you/are you surviving engagement season????

XOXO,
E.

#WeddingWednesday Guest Dresses

This dress

It’s 60% off right now!!!!

I seem to always have such a hard time looking for dresses to wear to weddings… but this year I’ve found so many beautiful dresses for weddings and I don’t have any to go to this summer! I’ve linked a variety of different dresses depending on the wedding you’re going to. I love wearing maxi dresses to weddings because they are so comfy and they make it perfect to wear flats and sandals to if there will be a lot of dancing.

I’ve also been loving midi dresses lately with a smaller block heel like these.
These shoes are some of the best $24 I have ever spent. They are so comfy and look much fancier than they are.

And shorter dresses look perfect with a comfy wedge. These are a pair I invested in 3 years ago and they are worth every penny. I’ve tried the knock offs of these and I do not recommend. Rarely will I tell you all to splurge unless it’s necessary!

Obvi I go for comfort when planning my outfits lol
