My Strawberry Bridal Shower
Last weekend, Rex’s mom Ginger and one of his sisters-in-law Cait threw me a strawberry theme shower and it could not have been more perfect! My older sister Jiyoung offered her home to host the shower, which I was so thankful for too. Rex gifted me these flowers the morning of the bridal shower day per my request, which we ended up using on the drink table as decor. He requested flowers for a “strawberry themed shower” from TG Floristy and they really delivered! Ginger and Cait drove down to North Carolina from Tennessee Saturday morning with a car packed full of stuff for the shower. They were so prepared…

What I Read in June 2023
Hi, friends! I can’t believe we’re officially halfway through 2023!!! Life keeps coming at me, and I’m sure it is for you too. Hope you’re taking care of yourself, whatever that looks like. Here’s everything I read in June: LADY TAN’S CIRCLE OF WOMEN by Lisa See – 4.5 stars Inspired by real-life Lady Tan Yunxian from the 15th-century China, Lisa See shares with us another captivating story about strong women.

My Wedding Dress Shopping Experience
In honor of FINALLY picking up my wedding dress from the store last weekend, I’m sharing about my wedding dress shopping experience and (almost) all of the wedding gowns I tried on today! I was one of those people who knew exactly what wedding dress they wanted. For me, that was Jenny by Jenny Yoo Lawrence Gown. Since Anthropologie carried that dress, I booked an appointment online to try it on. (If you’re looking, this was the North Hills location which has a BHDLN corner in the store). Tragically, the dress was not everything I dreamed of… it was good but not great?! I tried on a few more dresses…

What I Read in May 2023
Hi friends! Now that it’s June, it’s finally feeling like spring in North Carolina. May was not my favorite reading month but I did cross of a couple of newer releases that had been on my TBR! PINEAPPLE STREET by Jenny Jackson – 3.5 stars I had pretty high hopes for Pineapple Street based on some of the rave reviews I’ve been seeing on the Internet. While it is not as offensively bad as Every Summer After, I don’t get the hype. Pineapple Street is about the three young women in Stockton family: the eldest child Darley gave up her career and trust fund money to raise a normal family…

Wedding Planning Update #2
Hi, friends! We are officially into two-digit countdown until the big day so I thought it was time for another wedding planning update. It feels like we have done so much but somehow still have so much to do… Since I last shared about wedding planning, we have: A lot of the things we have accomplished in the last few months warrant another action on the to-do list (getting the wedding dress altered, finalizing things with the vendors…) but we’re tackling them one by one! P.S. Ending with a few of my favorite photos from my engagement shoot because I am OBSESSED (clearly)!
