(via: lovesimplyhappens)


What should you wear for your Engagement Photos??? Even the makeup you wear on your wedding day matters!

Dress right everyone!
"love simply happens", but
but you need to plan your wardrobe!

(even my Daddy always said... he was a wedding photographer too... that's a whole other post!)

monogram fun

Are you or someone you know getting married? What a fun gift this would be!!! From Etsy shop owner jen skelley...

I've been married 8 years and might have to get me one of these HAND DRAWN pics for myself!!!

(they do t-shirts too... and other fun stuff!!!)

needle + thread + a dress

Anyone making their own wedding dress? Or having one made for them? We want to know!

Also, is anyone having anything special sewn into their dress? My friend got married a few years ago and had her late father's wedding ring sewn into the underside of the bodice. Not for others to see, just for her to know it was close to her...

I cried and cried like such a baby at that wedding. Such an old, dear friend..., now a new mommy!

girltrunks

have you seen these "girltrunks" yet?

"Get ready to change the way you look and feel in swimwear. girltrunks’ bottoms combine quick-drying polyamide material with mesh lining so they dry lickity split. They are available in two lengths so you can choose how much or how little of your legs you want to show. You won’t find side pockets on these trunks as they were designed to flatter a women’s body by having a more tailored look.

Every detail was considered for these trunks so that you look great while feeling confident and comfortable on the beach, at the pool, in the gym, or on-the-go"
