His and Hers Style, Our wedding

First steps in planning our wedding!

May 28, 2018 By Noelle 4 Comments

You guys may not know this about me, but I’m a terrible, terrible planner! So needless to say planning our wedding has been a weeeee bit delayed! We basically finally decided the time of the year – November 2019 – but we still need to try to nail down a date! We had a picnic to get away from our computer, TV, and just honestly all home distractions to set some wedding goals and I’m excited to share more along the way with you guys! It felt good to sit down, look at the calendar, and start working on this together! I’ve teamed up with Zola to help us make our wedding dreams come true and get started *finally* planning our wedding!

One of the other details we have decided on for our wedding is we want it to be upstate NY! One of the biggest reasons for that is the first few years of being together we were really only able to travel upstate together and it just feels so special to us! I personally have a lot of big design plans we will work our together, but the biggest dream of mine is to have it on a Christmas tree farm! I don’t want to spoil allllll of the details, but something that’s a magical wintry land is my dream wedding.

Something we also have to think about is wedding registry! Zola is the perfect registry because not only is their site an amazing tool to help plan your wedding in the first place (FREE wedding websites, checklist and guestlist), but their registry allows you to register for over 50,000 gifts, experiences, and cash funds from over 500 brands! That means you can register for upgrades like Le Creuset to experiences like Airbnb gift cards and honeymoon funds. Plus it’s all free shipping, price matched, and group gifting which makes it so easy for everyone!

Planning our wedding is something we are both so excited about, but we are so busy that sites like Zola help make things so much more simple and I’m so thankful for it! I can’t wait to share more details, but for now I’m happy we are starting to nail down a final date and get our design/location/style ideas going! It feels so exciting!

My very first Mother’s Day as your mom my sweet My very first Mother’s Day as your mom my sweet Evergreen 🤍 you’ve changed my life forever & being your mom is always going to be the thing I am most proud of in my life 🤍 I remember right after she was born (this first photo) she was crying & I just kept saying “it’s okay baby, it’s okay” and I can’t even explain how surreal it was to be holding my baby in my arms. It’s hard for me sometimes to not feel like I’m counting down the Mother’s days my mom had with me.. thinking I only have 6 more. It reminds me constantly to be more present and make allllll the memories & don’t hold back. Being a mom is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done & also one of the absolute best, beautiful, meaningful things I’ve ever done. 🤍

A little love letter to this @sezane floral shirt A little love letter to this @sezane floral shirt of my dreams 💕🌷 this weekend is my first Mother’s Day and it has me thinking a lot about being a mom and weird little details. I used to think when you loved someone it meant you had every part of them memorized- you could pick out their hand in a line up or their lips. But with Ever I’ve realized it’s not like that- every single day she’s growing and every single day she wakes up a little bit different. It may sound silly but it’s been on my heart lately about how weirdly this feels like such an emotional part of motherhood that seems so simple but is something I never really thought about. #sezanelovers #sezanepartner
Motherhood is often seen as the ultimate balancing Motherhood is often seen as the ultimate balancing act - managing a career, maintaining a home, and raising children. But what if saying “no” could actually be empowering and give mothers the chance to say “yes”? #pureleafpartner 💕

That’s where the “No” Grants partnership with @pureleaf comes in. This program is designed to provide a little extra financial support to mothers who want to say “no” to the pressures and expectations that come with motherhood and “yes” to simplicity. With the “No” Grants partnership, Pure Leaf is empowering mothers to say “no” to doing it all and “yes” to simplifying life.

To learn more and apply for a “No” Grant, visit the link in my bio! #noisbeautiful 

No purchase necessary. Open to all 50 US & DC residents, 18+ (19+ in AL/NE). Ends 10/31/23. Rules, eligibility & entry deadlines: www.PureLeaf.com/NoGrants.
