BLUSHING INHER STYLE

We simply went on a date night and danced the night away, talked about our day and traded kisses and ‘I love you’s We wanted to keep our outfits casual, something that we would both wear on a typical date night, making us feel *as much* in our element as possible. As a bride, you’re expected to wear white in your engagement photos, which I as you can see I did not follow, but I wanted something {like this maxi} that was a little more feminine and relaxed, while still being flirty. With under 8 months until our wedding day, we’ve got our save the date session conquered, a majority of wedding planning completed, and wedding invitations have just been ordered.

my first Wedding101 post: First Steps to Planning a Wedding — which is kind of funny, because I have been waiting to plan my wedding for a long time, but I still have stressful moments. It’s helpful that my work gives me the time to research and can tackle a lot of wedding planning on my own, but I *truly* need a professional to guide me. I was so excited to find that Tatum Dyke, a wedding planner and event coordinator for The White Sparrow Barn, was free on my wedding date. Tatum was able to pin point the type of style I like {all through photos, because I’m horrible with words}. We decided to go with ‘minimalist’ to match my personal style and venue {which is a white barn}. I’ve also always wanted the bridesmaids in neutral — simple, classic, and not a color we’ll regret in 30 years.

We usually go wheeling on my birthday weekend together, cause it's our way of having a mini vacation, we recently have been going to Burris Valley Ranch, We had the times of our lives though, and we didn't break anything, which for any of you who know wheeling, that's a conquer in itself lol. At some point in the middle of logan spinning me, I had bumped into him and had said something like "I feel like we are dancing marshmallows" logan laughs of course and kisses me and we continue to dance. It wasn't till the second to last turn when I saw all our our friends and other wheelers standing there with all their phones out recording and taking pictures, so I then asked logan what was going on, and then he kissed me, spun me, and got down on one knee.

The holidays are always a fun time to spend time with family and friends, continuing or starting new holiday traditions. Growing up, my family has accumulated plenty of traditions like decorating the day of Thanksgiving and not listening to Christmas music until we are in the car going Black Friday shopping (yes I am one of those crazy people). Traditions have always been a meaningful thing to me, so when I started dating my boyfriend Logan, I was very excited to start some new holiday traditions that would be all our own. You can have an indoor snow day where you play hooky from work, stay indoors all day and watch movies, bake, and just spend some quality time together.
