My name is Rachel and I'm getting married in June 2022 in my favorite place on earth - Santa Cruz, CA! Our wedding is happening at the Dream Inn with a beach ceremony and the reception inside the hotel's ballroom. I never thought that I would get married and I still can't believe that it's happening sometimes. I am so excited and happy to be planning my dream wedding with my dream man!

1913 days agoI can officially cross “bridal jewelry” off of my list! Once I purchased my earrings, the rest of the accessories were fairly easy to find. I decided to do all of my jewelry in gold with white pearls/beads as it would better compliment my rose gold...

1918 days agoHi, everyone - I decided to take everyone’s advice on my last earring choice possibility and opted for a smaller statement stud with some pearl and beaded accents. I think going with a small earring was the better choice especially as I will have my...

1938 days agoHi, everyone - I must admit that my excitement for our June 2022 wedding has sort of taken a nosedive. On the one hand, I’m optimistic for 2022, but I’m also a little bit sad about it because I don’t know if things will be okay by then. I can just...

1958 days agoHi, everyone! Looking for some input here! I posted in one of my last discussions that when I found my dress, I tried on a plain cathedral-length veil with it that didn’t really do anything for me. My gown doesn’t have any beading and only eyelet...
