• You’ve got all your best babes chosen for the bridal party, now what? It’s time to dress shop!! There are some things to consider when it comes to bridesmaids dress shopping, so definitely read on if you’re a little stumped! 👗 1. Determine your wedding vibe. Boho? Modern? Vintage? What are you wanting to achieve with how you want your day to feel/look? 2. Buy your dress first. Because the bridesmaids dresses are supposed to complement you, you want to make sure that you have what you want to wear chosen in order to choose theirs accordingly. Having an idea for your day before this is helpful! 3. Keep cost in mind. If you are buying the dresses or if they are buying their own, it’s important to think about budget for dress, shoes, accessories, etc. 4. Consider time of year to determine length of dress and sleeves or no sleeves. 5. Keep in mind body shapes, sizes and complexions. If you want all matching dresses this is a big one. Yes your wedding is about you but you want your girls to feel and look their best as well, so think about all the variety! 6. Mix it up!! You don’t have to be uniform if you don’t want to be! You can mix and match colors and styles, you can do jumpsuits or pant suits, you have free reign over how traditional or non-traditional you want to go! I hope these tips help you in your quest for the perfect bridesmaids dresses!! Whats your favorite bridesmaids look? Matchy or mismatched? @majesticvalleywildernesslodge @andersonsbride @akbeautybar

  • I’m here to debunk some elopement myths today! . . 👰🏾You can have guests! A lot of couples think that an elopement means they can only get married alone with no friends or family, this totally doesn’t have to be the case unless you want it to be! You can have anywhere from 1-20 guests and still have a day that is centered around both of you and your wedding experience! . . 🏔Elopements are not “less than” or not as exciting as big weddings. So you can wipe that thought right now! Because they are filled with all the same joy and love and people that matter that make them that special! You+ your honey + celebrating how you want = best day ever! . . 🏝You do not have to get married at a courthouse. You can get married wherever you want(that is legal)! Your backyard, a coffee shop, a mountain peak, an open field, in downtown, anywhere! The sky is the limit! You don’t have to hike or be adventurous to elope if that doesn’t feel like you! . . 🏕Eloping is NOT selfish. Your wedding day is meant to celebrate your love and marriage with your favorite people doing your favorite things. You don’t have to feel guilty for wanting to make it all about what you want! . .🤵🏼You can make it as elaborate or as simple as you want! Do you want to have the full shebang from florals to cake? Then by golly you can do that! Want to just have you and your honey and maybe some florals? Go for it! . . 📸You don’t just want an hour of wedding coverage. Like I mentioned above, your wedding day is JUST AS SPECIAL as a big wedding and is just as important and takes just as much time and care and deserves to be documented!! You can still have getting ready photos, you can still do a first look, you can have a cake and flowers and have a reception for two or your closest friends and family. Your wedding deserves to be documented so you can look back on it in years to come! This was such a dreamy afternoon out at Eklutna Lake with @rachelrock_ and Josiah! Their lakeside elopement made my heart sing and I loved how happy and excited the whole family was and getting to be a part of it. Such a freaking awesome couple to spend time with!! @pritchettbridal @lilyofthevalleyfloralco @halosalonak

  • Got experimental last night and then edited this up on my iPad! Where there is a will, there is a way!! I prefer my desktop though. Also, it is windy as heck out here and I am pretty sure my skin is exfoliated with all the sand blowing in it, at least that’s what I’m telling myself. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Trying to scout some other spots for September tent sessions that won’t be as windy, needs to be wide open, pretty, room for this huge tent, several vehicles and other tents as well. Got any leads?
