Online isn’t real life: Our crazy house
February 16, 2016
I have been thinking a lot lately about online life versus real life. I saw someone on Instagram posted something like the photo below (I couldn’t find the original again). Then, someone asked me if I went on vacation with just me and my father-in-law because the first vacation photos I posted were from the […]
Football Engagement Photos
November 15, 2015
Since it’s football season, and I haven’t shared these on the blog yet, here are our football engagement photos. We had these taken in the spring of 2014 after the Seahawks won the NFC Championship, but before the Superbowl. We didn’t plan our photos around football season, or else we probably would have taken them […]
Self-catered Wedding Menu and Timeline
August 4, 2015
For my wedding, I was extremely fortunate to have my mom head up the catering. In our family it is sort of a tradition to serve our own food. At least that’s what happened at 3 of my cousins’ and my brother’s weddings. I helped prepare food at most of these because they’re family and […]
The Nautical Wedding I Would Have Had
July 19, 2015
I helped my grandma, mom, aunt, and cousin cater a wedding in my parents’ hometown. I was delightfully surprised to find it was a nautical themed wedding, just like mine was last year. I loved all the decorations and casual feel. Basically, if I would have been married in a cow pasture, this would have […]
Nautical Bedroom Home Decor
July 2, 2015
It took a long time, but I finally have the nautical guest room finished! I love the nautical theme because Tyler and I grew up on the coast of Washington and got married this summer on the Tacoma waterfront. Lots of the home decor in this room was from the wedding. I made the valances […]
Nautical Wedding Centerpieces
February 28, 2015
Our wedding was at Foss Waterway Seaport on the Tacoma, WA waterfront. Therefore, we had a nautical theme with blue, white, green, burlap, and rope. I don’t like things super matchy-matchy, as you can see from my home and wedding. I wanted to share what I did to give other brides some ideas. All photos […]
Anatomy of a Wedding Invitation
November 16, 2014
Wedding invitations are one of the first impressions your guests will have about your wedding. It will set the tone for the degree of casual/fancy, the decorations, and theme. These ‘pieces of paper’ can get expensive though. We bought our magnet Save the Dates from Wedding Paper Divas, so I’ll use them as an example. […]
Anchor Wedding Garter Belt – Where to Customize Yours
September 26, 2014
One day, in my nautical-wedding-craze, I was searching “#anchor” on Instagram and found Mama’s Little Baby. The shop had just made a cute anchor headband / hairbow for little girls! Although I don’t own any kids (I don’t even sound like I should have one), I still enjoy seeing her new items, photography, and watching her online […]
Wedding Chalkboards from Vintage Window
September 12, 2014
Chalkboards are fun, easy, and trendy way to personalize your wedding. I love that they are reusable. For my wedding I tried not to buy things that were one time use. What would I do with boxes full of “congrats to the new couple” signs? With chalkboards though, you can use them for any occasion […]
Wedding Day Schedule
September 1, 2014
It has been a few weeks since our wedding and honeymoon (which were both amazing)! I’m excited to start blogging about it all, but I will spread it out over the next few months. My goal is not to show off how cool I thought my wedding was (although it was exactly what I wanted). […]
