Saying 'so long' to summer is a lot easier with September weddings on my calendar to look forward to. Almost even more exciting are the showers and engagement soirees leading up to the big day. 

Outfit planning is a fun way to get creative based on the vibe of the bride and what type of wedding it will be! Whether classic and traditional, sparkly and glam, or more modern - the invitation is a good indicator of the theme. I got super inspired for looks while picking out cards for the occasions from PAPYRUS.


I found the perfect cards for each individual bride, unique to her style. PAPYRUS has unforgettable and beautifully crafted cards to send any kind of message from chic to tongue-in-cheek. Here's a peek at the ones I picked for upcoming nuptials!

Hashtag MARQUEE // Heart MARQUEE  // Mirrored EARRINGS // Champagne PROP // Crystal Collar NECKLACE // Link BRACELET // Glitter Ring CARD // Bride & Groom CARD // "Like" CARD

Being a blogger means some of my bride-to-be buds are social media mavens. This cheeky card  is a fun nod to my insta- obsessed friend!
HASHTAG LOVE <3 I'll be wearing these sparkly drops to a glitzy engagement party. This fun glitter ring card opens into a 3D white diamond!

This cake looks to pretty to eat, and this embellished card from the is to pretty not to keep! Pairs well with my pearl necklace for a traditional ceremony.
This one's a framer! This wooden cut card is just too special to not be put on display. For a friend who loves a DIY- I forwent the envelope and opted for a frame instead. After writing a heartfelt personal note-I mounted it with double sided tape inside the matte so the happy couple can hang it up and take a peek as long as they both shall live...

girls getaway

June 26, 2016

 In the beautiful month of May, I took a trip with some beloved blogger friends to the Outer Banks of North Carolina aka OBX). We stayed at The SANDERLING- a 4 star resort where truly every inch of the hotel is the epitome of beach chic and coastal comfort. Arriving to chilled wine and most delectable charcuterie board was the best kick off  a girls trip that just kept getting better the more we explored the quintessential beach town of Duck. Take me back!

Pristine view from our balcony.
Called in room service upon arrival- this spread was to die for...

We used Beach Cruisers from KITTY HAWK KITES- I highly recommend if you're in the OBX area!
