I was curious and decided to count up the number of monthly videos I've created for our family - since I've been diligently doing this every month since January 2021, this is my 65th daily-life-monthly video.

And it never gets old.

A flower bar might be my new favorite bridal shower idea!
(Because spoiler alert: the flowers I brought home are still super vibrant and fresh and looking BEAUTIFUL on my table - even a week later!)

The ladies created their own bouquets as part of the celebration, turning a bridal shower activity into a take-home favor (that everyone was actually EXCITED to take tome!)

It was simple, interactive, and added such a beautiful layer to the “Love in Bloom” theme!

I wanted to give a huge shoutout to the incredible team of vendors, friends, and family, who worked so hard to make Maddy & Ben's wedding celebration perfect!! Seriously, these folks were amazing! Definitely, leave them some love!

Not many brides and grooms get the opportunity to do it all twice.

After exchanging vows during an intimate beach ceremony in North Carolina surrounded by their closest family, Maddy and Ben returned home to Pennsylvania to celebrate their marriage with the people who couldn't be there.

And to say it was a perfect day would be an understatement!

Today was one of those reminders that a bridal shower is about so much more than the details.

Lily's mom transformed her home into something truly beautiful - filling her great room with flowers, candles, thoughtful touches, and so much love.

But what made today special wasn't the decor. It was watching the people who love Lily most gather around her, celebrate her, and share in the excitement of everything that's ahead.

Such a beautiful afternoon for a beautiful bride!

Honestly, Kristina & Sean’s story feels like proof that the best relationships aren’t built on perfect circumstances. They’re built on laughter, flexibility, deep friendship, and choosing each other through all the unexpected ups and downs of life.

After 7 years together, these two finally became husband and wife this past weekend - and it was such an honor to document every beautiful second of it.
