It's a definite #tbt that is for sure! I promised showing decor from my wedding a while ago, and well here you are my dears! My vision for out day was a garden party of sorts. I wanted classic elements, mixed with pieces that were unique and added a touch of modern - like out chevron placemats, chalkboard doors and chalkboard printable table numbers.  TIP: If you're looking to save big bucks on table numbers, Etsy is the answer. I was going to spend over $300 on gold glitter table numbers; however, I was able to find printables that were about $5 for 20 numbers! They worked perfectly into our decor.  My vision was completely brought to fruition by T he Eventful Life . Jess and Steph were amazing to work with. I didn't have to worry about a single thing, the two of them were on point before, during and even AFTER the wedding! We had the best experience working with them.  EXPERIENCE: I wanted to put most of my budget into...

Another wedding update! I absolutely loved my wedding day hair. It was chic, simple and held up all night, through drinks and lots of dancing. Gina Barrington  Gina Barrington , of Wide Eyed Beauty , made all of the girls look amazing. She took in our Pinterest pictures and explanations of what we wanted and delivered above and beyond. I always wear my hair down, so I was incredibly nervous about wearing it up, but it looked flawless! Here are Gina's bridal hot to do's for brides: Do something slightly whimsical and undone- super polished hair is so dated. Slightly messy side buns, or tousled waves are just perfection for wedding days.  On hand products of mine: always a great dry texturizing spray (oribe, or Oscar blandi) dry shampoo - matte and colorless of course beach salt spray   a great hairspray- I like Bumble & Bumbles classic, Elnett, or Sebastian classic a plumping spray or mousse for crown volume especially fo...

Well, it was unexpected but the fiance had the BEST time having our engagement photos taken. It was a day I really worked myself up about. The hair, the makeup, the outfits, looking 'fat'; however, it ended up being a perfectly rainy day, with our perfectly adorable photographer. Kim, of Kim Thiel Photography , made us feel so at ease - admittedly we did need to have a cocktail or two to loosen up. I love how our photos turned out. In fact, I'm obsessed. I think they capture Adam and I perfectly and I'm happy with how we looked and LOVE how happy I feel when I look at these photos and think about that day...and all the days we have together! We're getting into crunch time - ahhh! Less thank 6 months. I had our Save the Dates designed tonight and even bought us a wedding domain name - adamlovesmolly.com (serious as a heart attack). I hope you enjoy our photos! Our hometown, Milwaukee, served as a beautiful backdrop! Thank you again Kim - I can't wait for y...

Wedding planning has gotten a tad out of control! With six months to go, I'm so thankful for my wonderful wedding planners The Eventful Life. They are taking care of all the details I would never even dream of! I am so excited to marry my best friend; however, there is a lot that goes into the big day! I just started typing a list of everything and it stressed me out so it was promptly deleted. I'll give you a few updates though! We updated the color palette of our wedding and I could not be more excited. As you can see it's MINT! Our floral put it best, "You want an upscale, glamorous, Great Gatsby-esque garden party." NAILED IT! This week we even settled on bridesmaid dresses! One of my bridesmaids, Katie, took one for the team and ordered the dress from Zappos. It looks better on her then it does on the model! We choose the Donna Morgan "Laura" Dress in Spearmint . Nordstrom and Zappos carry the dress; as well as, Weddington Way (they...
