12 Hours of Wedding Planning & Favor Ideas

Hey guys!

Apparently that inspired feeling that I woke up with was quite the strong one! I have actually spent the past 12 hours working on more wedding planning! With only 153 days left, there is so much to do that the time just flew right by.

After (finally) choosing the wedding invitations and contacting a designer to create a custom designed wedding guest book box, I managed to still have enough energy to set up appointments with a couple vendors as well as choose most of the decorative elements for my wedding.


The only thing that has me stumped is the wedding favors. I know I want to do something unique and that I want to do some DIY for at least a portion of it. I want to provide my guests with more than one option- to add fun and diversity to my favor table, and please all palettes.

My first thought is something whimsical, like the pictured pinwheels from Etsy seller aubabi78. I also have a vision of providing milk in an old-fashion glass milk jug with a striped straw tied around it. Lastly, I also have a vision of doing something edible that contains peaches, preferably baked or prepared by yours truly. Where I'm stuck is deciding between if I would like to bake peach cobblers in a jar or miniature peach pies.

So, my lovely ladies, I need your help. What do you think? Which would you like to see at a wedding?

My Happily Ever After: Inspiration Board

Hey guys!

This morning I woke up and felt super inspired to work more on planning my wedding (...that's probably the result of me picking out invitations up until the second I fell asleep)! So, for the past five hours I've been picking out more gorgeous things for my wedding.

The thing I'm most excited about, though, is the inspiration board I pulled together a little bit ago. Up until this point, I haven't pulled all my elements together- especially seeing the navy and peach combination. And, I just have to say, I am ecstatic about how beautiful and gorgeous they all look together. Never, in a million years, would I have thought about choosing those colors for my wedding, but looking at this now, I can see that that is the only color combination I want.



Overall- I cannot believe how beautiful everything is. I actually teared up while I stared at it for the longest time, just taking it in. It all feels so surreal. The dress and the shoes I already have for the wedding. Everything else is just similar to what I'm going to have, or it's something that I haven't picked out yet (like the favors). But I'm curious- what do you guys think?
