Now that the wedding is over, I am {finally} able to get my schedule back to normal. Here are a some photos pre-during-and-post-wedding… {We literally have nearly 2,000 photos to go through!}
Aisle Worthy
Narrowing down my list of wedding shoes from at least 10, to what I eventually chose was no easy task! Three factors were taken into consideration: The heel height had to be at least 4″ but no higher than 5″, they had to have sparkle {translation: strass & crystals}, and lastly, they should be versatile enough for me to wear after the wedding. My final choice was a champagne satin crystal-encrusted wedge from Casadei {which I posted on my Instagram page back in December}. In the meantime, here are a few more gorgeous options.

Weekend Getaway, Part 1
Despite the frigid weather up North, it was nice to be able to get away even just for a weekend before things get really busy with the upcoming wedding.

An Update
I have neglected this blog for awhile and I apologize. Planning a wedding has consumed most of my time (and my thoughts). My days and weekends are filled with planning, meeting with vendors, and the like – all of these on top of an already busy schedule with two jobs. Don’t get me wrong though, I love being busy as it keeps my mind constantly engaged and excited.
I woke up in a panic today, realizing Christmas is just a few days away and I haven’t even completed my Christmas list. While my list has been drastically cut short due to the upcoming wedding and honeymoon, material gift-giving just doesn’t quite come up on my priority list these days. In the past month, I have instead put my money towards charitable causes and it has truly given more meaning to the true spirit of giivng. And of course, the recent tragedy in Connecticut has certainly set a different tone for everyone as well.
With the intent of keeping this post just a quick sharing of what’s been on my mind as of late, I will end here by wishing you all a blessed and meaningful Christmas! The greatest gift we can give anyone not just this holiday season but all throughout the year, is the gift of our time. It is my hope that we all get to spend time with our loved ones and really celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
