With a venue as gorgeous as the Olowalu Plantation house, heck for HAWAII!! we didn’t need extravagant decor. The views and scenery were already breathtaking on their own. We wanted the decor to blend into the surroundings versus take away from it all. And at the same time, we weren’t too picky with what we…
Pantry Inspiration
UPDATE: See the final product HERE and HERE We were holding off on doing any more decorating, or major organization moves to our current place, because we were up in the air as far as where we were going to live come August when our lease is up. Why invest in pieces that would fit…
THE WEDDING: Family pictures
We joke that we couldn’t elope and get married if we wanted to, because everyone that did attend our wedding would have shown up anyways. We are unbelievably lucky to have such close family and friends that were willing to make the trek out to Hawaii and share in our special day with us. It…
THE WEDDING: the day before
Like any traditional wedding, we had our rehearsal the day before at our venue. Instead of having a rehearsal dinner, we did brunch with our immediate family, bridal party and significant others. It worked out that way because our venue only does rehearsals in the morning due to having events later in the day. But…
THE WEDDING: Welcome Bags
ALL THINGS WEDDING WELCOME BAGS As quick as I knew we settled on a destination wedding, I knew we would do welcome bags for our family and friends. It’s a fun way to “welcome” guests to the destination and include items reflective of the destination and a few things that are reflective of you as…
2019 HOLIDAY DECOR
CHRISTMAS 2019 | This will be our 3rd Christmas in our little apartment. We’ve got decorating for the holidays down – we know where the tree will go and where certain decorations are put up. My favorite part, aside from the real tree we get each year, are our stockings I made a couple years…
THE WEDDING SHOWER
I was thrown the most beautiful wedding shower about a month before our wedding. My Aunt, Mom, Grandma, Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids all got together to make this day special in every way. Everyone added their own little touch and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. Just like our wedding, I wanted…
THE PROPOSAL
LAKE COMO May 19th, 2018 | The day of the Royal Wedding (the one with Harry and Meghan). Side note: I’m just maybe slightly obsessed with the British Royal Family, and I was a little bummed we missed out on all the festivities in London by about a week. But looking back, I don’t like…
How we asked our bridal party
Let’s talk wedding party! The lineup: Trav has 1 best man, and 3 groomsmen and I have 1 maid of honor, 2 bridesmaids and a flower girl. We are not going to have a ring bearer. We (mostly me) created these boxes full of fun little gifts as a way to ask our bridal party…
WEEKLY MEAL PLANS 014
Ok so we all have some kind of routine when it comes to grocery shopping right? I don’t like to say I “meal prep” because I more or less plan our meals for the week and then go shopping based off of that list. For the past couple of months I’ve been sharing my grocery…
