Finding beauty in the everyday pieces of life
I simply adore looking at bridal fashions. And while traditions stay close to my heart, I cannot seem to ignore the new trends in bridal headpieces. Simply swapping a tulle hat or adding a floral headband can completely transform your wedding day look.
So which look do you prefer?

Something gorgeous happened in downtown Grand Rapids Wednesday that we simply cannot wait to share! An urban city venue combined with lots of sparkles, amazing shoes and other fabulously girly delights – there’s so much to swoon over, but we’ll just tease you with this little sneak peek for now!!
West Michigan has some amazing vendors who I simply cannot thank enough for their contributions to this project!

Memorial Day weekend is quickly approaching, marking the unofficial start to summer. There’s something magical about summer… longer days, warmer weather and an overall feeling of happy, let’s go to the beach!
But with those longer days comes more to cram into your schedule. Graduation parties, weddings and backyard barbeques take up our free time. In the mist of all the hustle don’t forget to take just a couple moments for yourself. Head to the beach, watch a sunset and remember what summer felt like as a kid.
Isn’t this image super romantic? I borrowed it from Love and Lavender, go ahead and look at the rest of the post, it’ll make you fall in love all over again!
Have a great weekend, I’m headed to the lake!
Do the little things in life make you excited? I mean, there are these great moments in life that are huge, life changing make you want to scream from the rooftop and give you tingles all over… your first kiss, the day he proposed, walking down the aisle and saying “I do” and life after that, your first baby being born or even the moment that you find out your pregnant. But what about all those insignificant details in between?
Take a couple moments to appreciate the “little things” today. Stop and look at the pretty green leaves that have finally returned to us. Find pleasure in a stranger’s smile. Enjoy your late morning cup of coffee. Call your mom, it’s a day early, but I’ll be she’ll be surprised!
Remember to live a little between the “big moments”. Sometimes it is the journey that’s far more important than the destination. Some days I simple take a break from work and play with my baby girl, yes I could be doing the dishes that are piled in my sink or making my bed… but her smile is more important. Sometimes having a cup of coffee with my husband it more momentous that an elaborate date night. Find something beautiful in the everyday.
How do you feel when the sun comes out after a day of rain? It just brings a smile to my face. It’s a reminder of balance; we would not appreciate it so much without the gloomy times.
