Tips for Being a Great Wedding Guest

July 18, 2014

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been invited to many weddings this year. So many people love to get married in the summertime. I absolutely love weddings and celebrating love. Here are some tips on how to be the perfect wedding guest. In case you were wondering.

RSVP by the specified date.

Don’t Complain. Even if the food is terrible, the dress is ugly, and everyone around you is complaining, no one likes a complainer.

Take a gift. Definitely use their registry to insure that it is something they will actually like/want/use.

Don’t be late. Ever.

Don’t wear white. Although I love wearing white in the summertime, you should never wear it to a wedding. This may seem trivial, but I’ve already seen it done at a couple of weddings this season.

shoes: DSW old

Now on to appropriate attire. I love this chiffon dress en creme. Some may say not to wear tan/cream, but I think it is definitely acceptable. It’s light and airy and perfect for those hot outdoor weddings.

Of course Hampton had to get in a picture!

Have you attended any weddings this summer? Do you have other tips on being a great wedding guest?

Southern Wedding

April 29, 2014

First off, I want to say a huge thank you for the response I received from yesterday’s post. That is exactly why I love the blogging community. I loved all of the feedback and encouragement from everyone.

My cousin, Zana, was married this past weekend and I had the pleasure of standing beside her on her perfect day. She was married in the backyard of her home in Dothan, on an island in the middle of their pond. The weather was absolutely beautiful and Zana was breathtaking. It was an emotional weekend for me because she is not only my cousin, but also my best friend. She and Landon have been together for over 6 years. They started dating just a few months after Ryan and me. Needless to say, it was about time they got hitched! I couldn’t ask for a better man and husband for my Zana. I’m so incredibly happy for them.

Their wedding was southern chic at it’s finest. They did almost everything themselves as far as flowers and decor. Everything turned out so beautiful. The guests had a lot of fun at the reception, and as a bride, you can’t ask for much more than that. Here are a few pictures I (and my sister) snapped of their wedding.

Are you attending any weddings this summer?

take me back to where it began

August 21, 2013

This past weekend we had the pleasure of attending my sweet friend’s wedding. It just so happened to be at the same venue as our wedding almost 2 years ago. It was our first time going back since our wedding and it brought back so many wonderful memories. We ate, danced, ate some more and rejoiced with this wonderful couple. Something that really stood out to me was the fact that they served milk with their cake. I thought that was a wonderful idea. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I have been going through 2 gallons of milk a week during this pregnancy. Cheers to a beautiful wedding and a happily married couple.

A Wedding, An Engagement, and A Baby

March 20, 2013

Hello loves! This past weekend, Ryan and I traveled to Huntsville (north Alabama) for our good friend’s wedding. Ryan was a groomsman and looked pretty smokin’ hot if I do say so myself.

It was such a wonderful day getting to watch two friends say their vows in front of loved ones. It was very emotional and one of the sweetest weddings I’ve ever been to. We were able to spend time with friends we have not seen in a while which was nice.

Just before the wedding began, I received a phone call from my cousin (who is more like a sister) with some pretty exciting news! Zana is engaged!!! Her and Landon have been together for nearly 5 years, so it is about time he put a ring on it! I am so proud and absolutely thrilled for them!

On Sunday, I attended my best friend’s baby shower. She is due in less than 4 weeks now! I can’t wait to meet that sweet baby!

Needless to say, this weekend was filled with love, excitement, family and friends. What a blessing to be surrounded by such encouraging people.

In honor of our first anniversary coming up, I decided to post some photos from our wedding last year on October 8th! We were married in Auburn, Alabama at the Fountainview Mansion. Adrian Freeman Photography did a wonderful job capturing our special day!
