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!

Hi, ladies.... The Markle gown is now my #1 favorite. It has a wonderfully beautiful matching veil, but I don’t know which length would look better? It comes in either fingertip or cathedral. I have a photo of each, what do you think? I also put a...

Okay, I’ve seen Hayley Paige’s “Markle” gown pop up multiple times and I kind of overlooked it, but there was always something about it that made me go back to it and give it a second look. This is definitely a unique ballgown because it has that...

Hi, everyone - I’m sure all brides have been through this issue... but I am having a harder and harder time with my future MIL. While it’s obvious that my fiancé and I will be doing the planning ourselves for our wedding, the topic of our engagement...

I was sooooo tired of constantly making notes in my phone, on random sheets of paper, etc.! So I searched on Etsy and found PurpleTrail and they had sooooo many cute planner books to choose from and I ultimately chose the one in the picture. Some of...

Ladies, I have posted so many dresses, lol! But I love hearing people’s opinions on all the different styles. What do you think of the Hayley Paige “Clyde” gown? I love those off the shoulder straps and it’s such a beautiful flowy and light skirt! ...

I am so excited! My fiancé and I just scored our venue and wedding date. Even though our wedding is over two years away, we wanted to get this piece taken care of since we don’t know how 2021 will go and if things surrounding Covid will start to...

Hi, ladies! I’ve heard so many things about crepe fabric, especially mermaid dresses made with crepe fabric, and what type of underwear to wear underneath. I’m definitely looking into shapewear to wear under my mermaid gown, but I’m struggling to...

Hi, ladies! I had originally planned to go with Tiffany blue, white, and silver for my beach wedding but I found myself wanting to consider other color combinations to make the setting appear “brighter”. I still wanted to incorporate a shade of blue...

Hi, ladies! Have any of you seen this gorgeous Hayley Paige “Arlo” gown before? I only just came across it today while I was looking at gowns that are not the traditional ivory color. I’ve never seen this color before! It’s called “moonstone” and...

Hi, ladies... I found an Etsy shop that makes pretty bridal flip flops! Since my wedding will be on the beach, I don’t necessarily want to be barefoot but I would still like some pretty beach-appropriate footwear. The shop I found makes embellished...

Ladies, I know there are many that have reservations about wearing a longer veil for a beach wedding... but after seeing these beautiful photos, it’s a look! Also, it should come as no surprise that I’m in love with this dress, either 😂

Hi, ladies... Here are three photos of potential hairstyles that I will do for my big day. I wanted to keep my hair looking ultra feminine and I definitely do not want a full on up-do. I love the look of these styles because they are a little pulled...

Hi, Ladies! Just wanted some opinions here. I have found the matching veil for the Pepper gown! Even if I don’t necessarily go with this gown, I wanted to get your opinion on a veil length (no matter which dress I choose, I will definitely have a...

Hi, Ladies - How do we feel about this veil? It is meant to go with the gown pictured (which I LOVE). I could look into a shorter version of this veil with the similar edging, but just want to know your thoughts of how this combo looks ☺️
