style me pretty feature!

untitled-1-3 Hi friends!

A wedding that is very, very near and dear to my heart is up on Style Me Pretty today! Check it out here.

I cannot tell you how grateful I am for wonderful clients, amazing colleagues, and opportunities like this one. Thanks, as always, for supporting and reading. I'm going to go dance in the corner now.

weds-day: the website

It's funny how wedding traditions that didn't exist 10 years ago are now near mandatory practice. Take, for example, the wedding website. Yes, people make them and they're beautiful, but I also cannot imagine attending a wedding as a guest without one. How else do you communicate about welcome parties, parking, discount codes and activities in the area? So, we're making one... Screen Shot 2015-03-11 at 8.12.49 AM

 

The artist who is doing our invites suggested using Squarespace, so we decided to give it a try. So far, so good. I am not one who likes to create something from the ground up (I realize how that sounds since I have my own business but honestly, it's something I struggle with constantly), so I'm grateful that SS has straightforward templates where you can just plug and play all of your information. Likely, we'll add in a page here or there for other information that's unique to our day, but for now I appreciate the ease. Also, it's a really great way to show off our engagement pictures by Ashley!

AND! Perfect timing - I was reading Style Me Pretty yesterday and came across this post. If you and your fiance/e want to try out Squarespace for your wedding, use code SMP15 for 10% off!

Are you all doing wedding websites? Did you do one? Thoughts / tips? Talk to me!

allie's outfit: pinpoint

You won't hear a word from me (yet) about the snow. My ancestors thrived in the clouds and rain and mild temps; I'm all about this cold.

I'm also, if you haven't noticed yet, all about minimal accessories. Because I want getting dressed to be easy, and I want the accessories I put on my body to make me happy.

Sometimes a big old poncho doubles as a warmth-giver and an accessory - super easy. And every now and again, it's nice to choose one little piece that makes your entire outfit come together.

Like this push pin necklace from Samantha Faye. Are you not obsessed? Check out her closet collection here.
