White Spring Dresses + #WeddingWednesday

Follow me

Since I am engaged, I have been searching for the best white dresses for the spring and summer. I never wear white dresses but I have always gravitated towards white tops. Is that just me?

My favorite white dresses I have found have been from Red Dress. They have so many fun dresses for any occassion. As soon as they shared this dress, I knew I had to have it. I’ve never rocked a midi dress before but I thought wedding season would be the perfect time to start. Eyelet is also so in this season and I am all about it!! This dress also comes in red if you’re not into the white.

This is the dress I plan to wear to my bridal shower and maybe even the rehearsal dinner!!

Here are some other white dresses I’ve been loving lately!

Everywhere I’ve been going recently God has been teaching me something… just like He typically does. Now He’s teaching me how it’s not about me. Maybe it’s because I’m in this season of engagement and wedding planning when most things revolve around my future marriage and I. It’s the topic of discussion amongst most of my conversations, the bride is in charge of everything, and everyone just seems to be turning to me… but it’s not about me.

I’ve been reading You and Me Forever by Francis and Lisa Chan and woah it’s good and a major gut check. It’s been teaching me so much.

First

Our wedding, our engagement and our marriage means nothing if God isn’t the main focus. The idea of marriage is based off the gospel and that has never been made more clear to me than through engagement.

Second

Everything on this earth really does not matter. My wedding doesn’t matter, my clothes don’t matter.. nothing except if I spent my life glorifying Him or not. When I get to heaven someday God is not going to talk about how my wedding had the most boujee flowers, the most luxurious venue… He’s going to ask me how I glorified Him.

Whenever I’ve been getting stressed about wedding planning or something has gone wrong I have been having to remind myself.. how much of this actually matters in the long run.

My life is meant to glorify Him.

My wedding is meant to glorify Him.

My marriage is meant to glorify Him.

If it doesn’t, then it’s a waste.

Be For The Kingdom.

XOXO,

Weekly Updates #3

Monday was a pretty chill day at work, nothing exciting happened. I published THIS blog post. When I got off I headed home to enjoy a snack and relax a little bit before heading to the gym. I had such a good workout. It was challenging and I felt so good afterwards. Following the gym I cleaned out some of my stuff from high school and treated myself to a chick fil a dinner bc I had a coupon for a sandwich. I ended the night by reading Romans 8, showering, washing my makeup brushes and started some laundry. It was a super solid and productive Monday that I think set me on the right track for the week.

Tuesday was another chill day at work followed by a blog work date with my friend Natalie. It was so motivating and awesome to bounce ideas off of each other. Afterwards, I headed to Jacob’s in Atlanta. We made this yummy chicken and vegetables for dinner and watched How I Met Your Mother. After I cleaned the dishes I headed back home.

Wednesday I posted my third #WeddingWednesday post. & you all seemed to love it! I went straight to church after work and after church went home and crashed.

Thursday was a long day at work topped off with a good workout at he gym and Mexican for dinner. I walked around target afterwards and picked up a few things I showed in my insta story haul.

Friday after work I got to spend time with Jacob picking out the suits for the wedding and we topped the night off with pizza and ice cream.

The weekend was busy moving my dad out of his house and church on Sunday. It was a good week but I think this week will be much better. I’m knee deep in Real Housewives and trying out some new to me products from the Ulta sale!

How was your week??

XOXO,
