Hard to believe that our wedding was just over two weeks ago. It seems like it was yesterday, and I should still be on the beach! I am still waiting on all the beautiful photos from the big day, but wanted to share the bridal portraits I took a few weeks before the wedding. Adria Lea Photography took our engagement photos, and it was such an easy choice to work with her for my bridal portraits and our wedding day. We took some of my bridal portraits at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, where we took our engagement photos, then we ventured to a roof top to capture all the beauty of downtown. Dallas has always been very special to me, so I couldn’t think of any better place to capture my bridal portraits than downtown Dallas. Adria did such an amazing job capturing my love for Dallas and all the details of my wedding dress. I will have a full post all about the wedding day coming soon! xoxo
What a whirlwind the past two week have been. We are officially just one week away from the wedding, the house is just about pulled together and I am realizing that I do not have a thing to wear on our honeymoon! Besides a few swimsuits I had already purchased for summer, I am still on the hunt for great sandals, dresses and coverups to wear in Punta Cana. During my recent online shopping spree, I found this adorable blue striped top at Madewell that will be prefect for our trip. Naturally, I could not wait to dress like I was at the beach, since it is 90+ degrees in Dallas. I threw on the blue striped top with my favorite Levi’s shorts to run some wedding errands around town. This top also looks great with white jeans for the office, or tucked into a white lace skirt for brunch. I also added my favorite slides (similar)and this fun Cult Gaia bamboo bag. Follow along on Instagram stories for behind the scenes of our wedding and trip to Punta Cana! xoxo
What a crazy past two weeks! Not only are we officially a month away from the wedding (cue panic attack), but we closed on a house (woohoo). I will be sharing more of the minor renovations we are making to the house in future blog posts and on Instagram stories, but for now it is just gallons of paint! I jumped on the opportunity to get out of the house this past weekend, and to finally wear something besides my paint clothes. The Gal Meets Glam Lauren dress was the perfect thing to throw on for brunch and a day around town. I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding about a month ago and loved how easy it was to wear. It fits true to size (wearing a 0) and is loose from the waist down. The buttons and sleeves are the perfect amount of detail for this floral summer dress. I also love the blue and green pattern because it pairs so well with navy, but the dress also comes in a peach and mauve pattern. I paired the dress with a navy raffia Mar Y Sol clutch and some simple nude sandals (similar). Shop my favorite dresses from the Gal Meets Glam collection below! xoxo
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today is really just an excuse for me to add a pop of color to my wardrobe, sit on a patio, and eat tex-mex until I burst. Which is exactly what I am doing, you will find me in this white ruffle dress enjoying the patio weather and cheating on my wedding diet. I wore this white ruffle dress to dinner a few weeks ago over my bachelorette weekend. The elastic waist makes the ruffle flattering, and I plan to take this dress on my honeymoon because it is perfect for the beach. It fits true to size (wearing a small) and pairs well with flats or wedges. I chose to wear these raffia wedges and a matching clutch from J.Crew (similar). To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, I added a pop of turquoise with these Kendra Scott earrings and bracelet (similar). Shop this festive look and similar white ruffle dresses below! xoxo
