I truly can't say enough good things about our wedding reception venue, the Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront Hotel. We went with the very classic "afternoon church wedding ceremony, evening hotel ballroom reception" combo for our wedding day. I think there is something so timeless and wonderful about a hotel ballroom wedding reception, and it really is easy from a planning perspective as well (since the linens, tableware and food and beverage is usually done all in-house).
Amazon Prime Day is in full swing for 2025! I was pleasantly surprised to see so many of my favorite fashion and home items that I already own and love being included in this year's sale. I know there are so many bloggers and influencers spamming you at all directions right now with Prime Day picks. Hope it's okay to just share a handful items that I personally own and use. 😊
All of these are currently at lower price points than I purchased them for! The fashion items are all things I've bought myself that I love to wear and think are good quality. The home decor items are a mix of things I've bought, as well as some of my favorite wedding registry items that I was gifted at bridal showers!
When I would dream about my future wedding day when I was in high school, college and my early 20s, the number one part of the wedding day that I'd fixate on and dream about specifically was the wedding reception dance floor. I love to dance, and the thought of being on a dance floor surrounded by the love of my life and all of the people in our lives that we love seemed like heaven on earth to me! I joked to friends in the months leading up to the wedding that the one aspect of wedding planning that I was a bridezilla about was anything to do with our wedding reception playlist! God bless the poor DJ that would have to put up with me. 😉
Anyways, before I get into recapping our full wedding reception on the blog, I wanted to share a detailed blog post with our wedding playlists, for cocktail hour, dinner and of course the dance floor! Below you can read about the must-plays, the do-not plays, and even the newest songs I would've added to the playlist that didn't exist yet in November 2024. And of course I have plenty of dance floor photos to share with you too!
One of my favorite parts about my new career path is finally having a job with a more formal daily dress code for the office! I have been absolutely loving putting together daily Business Professional outfits for work. A dress brand that has quickly come on my radar over the past month is Maggy London. I was so excited to get an email from the Maggy London team to gift me a couple of their pieces, and I have an exclusive discount code to share with you today, too!
