Dream Chasing and Heart Moving
At one of the many happy hours we attended on our honeymoon, Dillon and I found ourselves talking big picture creative goals. Our chat over margaritas in Arizona was basically coming to the realization that what moves our hearts deserves our time and effort. This phrase “heart moving” has become my mantra for 2017 in…

Dirty Dresses and Day Old Hair
By far, one of our best decisions was taking day after pictures. We knew with a December wedding, we would be racing the sun to capture outdoor pictures in the daylight, especially without the luxury of a first look (I went old school with this one! Didn’t see Dill until I walked down the aisle!)…

Wedding Flowers
Let me start this post by saying- florals are expensive. Okay, we knew this going in. But yes, if you want fresh flowers at your wedding, be prepared to put down a nice chunk of change. With that said, get your money’s worth! Make sure your florist delivers, literally and figuratively, and absolutely nails your…

Reading Lately
Nothing says “I love you” like some good reads right?! No, seriously. I think books are the gifts that keep on giving. This year I decided to gift Dillon (and myself) some new reading material for Valentine’s Day! Since we’ve been working on a journal for our marriage, I’ve been wanting to find some books…

Invitation Suite
As part of our planning process, we had begun to look at inspiration for an invitation suite. Some are so unique and cool. We had so many options and different routes we could go. At first it was overwhelming, but we really fell into a rhythm of style choices. I definitely think first impressions matter,…

Wedding Dress Dreams
April of last year, I said yes to my dream dress. I couldn’t wait to wear it, and gush all about it in a blog post! First off, let me start by saying that if you consider yourself a bride that is boho, vintage inspired, chic, classy, ethereal, and romantic, then BHLDN is the place to…

Wedding Hacks
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know there are endless blog posts and pins all about wedding hacks, but I felt like we owed it to ourselves to write down the things that made the process easier. No wedding planner, no coordinator. We survived and we were able to actually enjoy our day- it’s possible! Here are…

Marriage Goals
For the past year or so, I’ve been listening to marriage podcasts and reading up on marriage blogs. Promising to myself and Dill that we will have a marriage more beautiful than our wedding. I always wanted to to be clear in my head and my heart that this marriage will be something we will…

The Art of Nothing
Fortunate enough for us, D and I were able to take a few days after our wedding to relax in sunny Arizona. Although, while we were there, it was chilly AZ. Cloudy skies and upper 50’s…but, we were happy with it. It is crazy how literally over night your months of planning are complete. You…

Bird’s-Eye View: Madison
Falling more and more in love with this city each and every day. And, maybe I am crazy, but I am actually excited for all this to be blanketed by fresh snow. I know I will regret that statement come March… Kelly
