Everything I’ve done for my October wedding!

2025/5/27 Edited to

... Read morePlanning a wedding can be overwhelming, especially with a set deadline like an October date. First and foremost, I've booked essential vendors including a venue, photographer, catering, and more. A timeline is crucial during this process, ensuring that each task is completed in a timely manner. Creating a detailed spreadsheet for budgeting helped keep track of finances and ensure all expenses are accounted for. I also made Save the Dates to notify guests early, leveraging unique designs that reflect our wedding theme. The ongoing Pinterest board has served as a source of inspiration, allowing me to explore and narrow down decor ideas that match our aesthetic. The emotional journey included moments of doubt and excitement; I've had my fair share of meltdowns. Still, these experiences have shaped a genuine connection with my wedding party. I've chosen my bridesmaid dresses and planned a bachelorette trip, which has allowed for bonding moments that I cherish. Additionally, cake tasting was a fun experience, allowing us to pick flavors that suit our taste. I made DIY flower decor as practice, ensuring a personalized touch on the big day. As the wedding day approaches, maintaining organization and managing stress levels are vital in making the planning journey fulfilling. Nothing compares to the anticipation of walking down the aisle, surrounded by loved ones, to celebrate this special chapter in our lives.

Wedding details under $100 that guests actually noticed ✨🤍
Tiny wedding details add up fast, but some of our favorite guest experiences stayed under $100 and honestly had a bigger impact than expensive decor. Added guest ranges + where to find everything because I would've needed this while planning 😭🤍 #WeddingBudget #Bride2026 #WeddingPlanni

Brides, the things I remember most aren’t the centerpieces. It’s the sounds, the hugs, the little bursts of joy. If you want memories that feel like you, try these: 1. Audio guestbook 🎙️ Put out a vintage phone and let guests leave voice notes. Hearing their laughter and love hits so much harder

A Bible page titled "Looking for Fruitful Life?" discusses the fruit of the Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, etc.) from Galatians 5:16-26. Handwritten notes emphasize submitting life to the Holy Spirit and how these characteristics should increasingly manifest in our lives as we grow in faith.
A Bible page titled "Brokenness: The Principle" from John 12:24-25, comparing life to a grain of wheat that must die to produce new life. Handwritten notes highlight giving up the old life and being planted in the soil for new growth and joy.
A Bible page titled "A Life of Becoming" from 2 Corinthians 4:7-18. The text explains that authentic Christianity is about becoming like Jesus, not just doing activities. Handwritten notes encourage taking comfort in God's provision and that His light can shine from any darkness.
