Bridal Shower Fiesta
While reminiscing on my sisters magical wedding last weekend in Cabo, I decided to share all the details of the Bridal Shower Fiesta I threw her prior to the big day. What better way to shower the future bride with love than by throwing a fiesta. Especially because for as long as I can remember my sister has loved margaritas and tortilla chips. I would say they are her favorite foods. Who doesn’t love a fresh margarita and some tortilla chips? Throwing parties is just so much fun. I love piecing together all of the details. From the small little things to the large overall design. There is just something…

Our Colorado Wedding
2018 was one for the books in so many ways, but our wedding was definitely the best. I spent a little under a year and a half planning the most perfect wedding for us, all while trying to stay within budget. Weddings are SUPER expensive these days. Like seriously expensive. I posted a lot on the blog during the wedding process on how I looked for different vendors and planned, but I haven’t shared the finished product. Below is what I like to call my “wedding baby.” It was hours of work, but beyond enjoyable work. I hope you enjoy #allthebliss below. The Details Location Great Divide Barrel Bar Location…

Dancing Down the Aisle
Dancing down the aisle is just what I did on 20OCT2018. I danced down the aisle in memory of my Dad and so I didn’t cry the entire way. I lost my Dad 4 years ago and was to date the hardest moment in life. My Dad was my rock, the lemon to my lemonade, because when there were lemons he always knew how to make lemonade for me. My Dad was and is one of the best men to walk. I am not just saying that from the selfish point of being his child, I am saying that from the point of him being the kindest and most giving…

Name Change
Name change has both a positive and negative connotation to it. Name change can be for happy reasons, such as getting married or not so happy reasons such as divorce. I refuse to dwell on the unhappy, and that’s not what my current life status has me doing. I recently got married, but from all the posts and pictures I am sure you could have guessed that. Along with the marriage comes the option to change your last name. Contemplation Changing my last name was not something that was an split second decision. Loosing my Dad 4 years ago really made me contemplate holding on to my maiden last name…

Bridal Party Slumber Party
Don’t you just love a good slumber party? It seems like when I was younger I had them all the time, but as life gets more chaotic with age these slumber parties have taken a halt. Why do they have to end though? Before I first got engaged I knew I wanted to have my bridal party spend the night at our house the night before the wedding. I absolutely adore girl time, as most woman do. I figured what better way to pre-start off wedding day than to get in some pjs and relax. Let’s Get This Party Started The bridal party slumber party began immediately following rehearsal dinner,…

Napa: Bachelorette Trip Packing
I can’t believe the extended Napa bachelorette weekend has come and past already. I dreamt of this trip even before I was engaged and once I was engaged the trip came to actual fruition. It was fabulous to disconnect, sip wine and float on cloud nine. I have a few main loves in life besides my fiancé and pup, and one of them is fine wine. Sipping wine and having girl time/chat was all the bliss. How often in life do we get the chance to take a girls trip? Not enough is what I have to say. Despite this being titled my bachelorette trip, it’s more of the girls…

Wedding Countdown: Thoughts & Organization
It’s crunch time. It’s the final countdown. Of course I get the song “The Final Countdown,” by Europe stuck in my head while writing this post. I promise you ladies it will be there all day. We are under the two month mark. There is so much to do and so little time to do it. When people say planning a wedding is another full time job, there is no joke with that. It’s definitely another full time job. I have found it to be a fabulous and fun job during the last year and a half, but I am ready for the double full time jobs to come to…
