Wedding Wednesday: All of Our Wedding Details

      One of the most fun parts of wedding planning for me was figuring out all of the individual details that would bring our day to life! Now that I have finished recapping the flow of our wedding day (getting ready, ceremony and reception), I wanted to share a dedicated blog post with information about all of the smaller wedding details. In this post you'll find all the info about our beautiful custom invitation suite, all things bridal party, details about my something old, new, borrowed and blue, and much more! And for the first time on my blog, I'm opening up a little bit about the biggest disappointment from our wedding day, which had to do with a wedding detail that was very important to me.

      Let's get into all of our wedding details!

Fall 2025 Outfit Ideas 🍂

     Can I make a confession? Most of the shopping that I have been doing lately is for our new house, instead of my fall wardrobe. Adulting at its finest, right? 😊 But as always, I have been doing a fair amount of online window shopping for fashion and accessories lately. I've found some great fall items at a variety of price points (some great bargains, some splurges, and some mid-range finds), and wanted to share them all with you today! 

     And as always, you can find my daily fall work outfits and other fall outfit inspiration daily on my LTK page- make sure to follow me in the LTK app if you aren't yet!

HOTEL GUIDE: A 24-Hour Stay at The Omni Homestead Resort

       I recently checked another iconic Virginia hotel off of my travel bucket list: The Omni Homestead Resort. This historic resort is located deep within the Alleghany Mountains in the western part of Virginia. The Omni Homestead is home to a unique main attraction: America's oldest natural warm springs! The Warm Springs Pools are owned by the resort but open to the public. In addition, the resort also boasts beautiful historic decor, a multitude of dining options, a plethora of shopping and activities, and a large spa. My friend Amanda and I recently did a one-night stay here for our annual girls' trip. Our visit may have been brief, but it certainly was memorable!
