Memory making & experiences above all else

Dear Lovebirds, I love the moments leading up to your wedding ceremony. You are giddy, nervous and jazzed about finally slipping into that dress.

I find myself gravitating to certain blogs and links that inspire me each day! Some inspire me to want to make some pretty amazing DIY projects, while others inspire me to just be a good person. Here are a few of my favorites as of late!                   […]
