Wedding Guest Attire: Fall Addition

Hello!

Today I thought I would show you what to wear to a Fall wedding.

Now, I know with today's society dressing for weddings are a bit 

different however I feel for most weddings this dress would be 

ideal! 

I first fell in love with the color of this dress. It's more

of a grey/blue hue with cream colored floral print and splashes

of dark wine. I love that the main color is grey, making it toned

down and more neural looking for Fall. I especially love the

longer cap sleeves and that its a maxi, perfect for when the 

cooler temps approach. 

For accessories, I added accents of gold.

Also, this is a great opportunity to rock the darker lips!

I like how it matches my fingernail polish :-) 

Sincerely,

Ashley Nicole, xo 

Marley Lilly Monogrammed Tote Bag

Hi sun shines! 

Today I want to share with you this gorgeous

scalloped monogrammed tote bag that Marley Lilly 

sent me. Ya'll, isn't this the cutest tote bag your

eyes have ever seen? Swoon. It's a head turner for sure! 

 

My favorite part about this tote bag is the scalloped

top detail, which instantly adds a girly touch. I also

love the color making it versatile throughout the seasons. 

I was pleasantly surprised of how sturdy and nice the 

leather was.  You can tell this tote bag is high quality. 

It's the perfect size for school, work, or a carry-on.

I'll definitely be swapping out my old work tote

bag for this one.  

I got this tote bag in the color tan. My initials

 are font style master circle script in font color cognac.

You can view this bag, here. 

This is just ONE of the amazing items Marley Lilly offers. 

They have tons of personalized gift items for birthdays, weddings, 

teachers, etc.  What's also great about Marley Lilly is the option to

 view your monogram on their products. You can alter what color, 

font style, etc. you would like which is a lovely feature.

Thank you, Marley Lilly!

Life Update--I'm MARRIED!

Wow oh wow! It's been awhile since I posted on here. 

I got married two weeks ago so wedding planning definitely took a toll

on my blog posts. I wanted to share outfit or cooking posts but my 

mind was elsewhere so I apologize in advance :-) 

Now, let me fill you in on the wedding...

Stephen & I got married on July 22nd, 2017 in my hometown.

Our venue was a gorgeous white barn in the middle of the country, the 

location + venue was truly magical. We lucked out with a great place for an 

even better price (compared to Cbus venues) so I was ecstatic. 

The color scheme was mint green & coral and I loved how everything 
turned out. I picked those colors because I wanted a more toned down color 
scheme--sometimes bright turquoise and coral can be too much/take away
from the bride. Each bridesmaid got to pick out their own dress which I 
thought showed each of their personalities AND it was a huge money saver. 
For the groomsmen, we went with light grey and mint ties. 
Now for my dress....I knew I wanted a lace ivory/champagne colored dress, 
with straps. When I walked into Wendy's Bridal and saw my dress on the 
rack, I looked at my Mom and said "That's my dress, I just know it.!" 
And I was right, it was my dream dress and it couldn't be any more perfect. 

A lot of our decorations I got from Hobby Lobby, Joann's, Marshall's, 

and Homegoods. Our invites/programs came from Vista Print, which

helped save money. Just remember that the more money you spend 

on an invite/program--the more money you're wasting. People

will just throw it away--so try to budget some lower cost invites :-) 

Speaking of budget saving tips--I/bridesmaids did our own hair 

+ make-up and my jewelry came from Charming Charlies. There

are ways to save money for a wedding--you just have to dig deep! 

All of our vendors were local--which was sentimental and helped

saved money too. They were great to work with--down to earth

folks who were willing to make your special day perfect. 

Even though it sprinkled at our outdoor ceremony, everything
turned out wonderful. It's crazy to think you plan, plan, plan
and then poof---its allll over. Our wedding was amazing and 
our preview pictures are even better!
