I am finally sharing what everyone wants to hear about – the wedding reception! Yes, a wedding is about the ceremony and the union between a couple. But let’s be honest, we all look forward to the fun part – the reception. I am glad to report that we got a lot of positive unsolicited feedback about our reception and wedding in general. During the day itself and the weeks after, people were telling us that we had one of the best (if not the best) weddings they had ever been to! I know I am biased, but I felt the same way.

Cocktail hour was one of my favorite parts of our wedding day. If you’ve read my previous blog posts about our wedding, you’ll know that we used the time during cocktail hour to socialize with our guests rather than take more photos. I am so glad we made the choice to do so, because we had a blast!

Plus, who wants to miss an opportunity to have appetizers and drinks with friends? 

Weddings are not cheap. And if you’re like me, you want to get a good bang for your buck! After planning 2 completely different weddings for my husband and me over the past year and a half – and being heavily involved in my sister’s wedding in 2016 – I have definitely gained some knowledge and insight into the wedding world.

No, I’m not going to tell you to invite fewer people (though that certainly is effective). While we had a small destination wedding (about 40 people), I know that isn’t practical for everyone, and we definitely stepped on some toes by not inviting many people. But overall, we were very happy with the size of our wedding.

Here are some ways we saved money on our Palm Beach wedding.

Happy New Year!

December went by in a flash and life has been just a little bit crazy… I feel like I have so much to share that has happened over the last month, but I will be doing a life update sometime soon (maybe as my 23rd birthday post).

But I am back and I am so excited to share some amazing news with y’all! I know many of y’all were curious what was next for us since we had to cancel our Disney wedding. If you didn’t get that update, check out this post. It still makes me a little sad when I reflect on the change, but I know in the end we will be much happier and things are already going much smoother.

Many of you guessed it already, but our new wedding location is…

Hi y’all! I am back today with another blog post regarding The Pink Retreat! If you’re a reader of mine who isn’t into Lilly, I’m sorry if my posts haven’t been entertaining lately. I promise in the next week or so I’ll get back into the groove of things. Anyways, I’ve received soooo many questions about where to stay in Palm Beach so my next two posts will be covering two hotels I’ve personally stayed at. Today’s post is about The Colony Palm Beach. If y’all know me or follow me on Instagram you know The Colony is my AESTHETIC. Not even lying, I took a lot of inspiration from their website when designing mine. My bathroom is even The Colony themed lol.

Needless to say, I highly recommend staying there. But let’s get into it a little deeper! If you’d like to see a video tour of the room go to my Instagram story highlights (under TPR Day 2) or check out my YouTube channel for a vlog of the weekend!
