Wedding planning

Hello hello beautiful people!

My goodness it feels like a lifetime has passed since I last typed onto this page. I have had a tone of TikTok success and I won't lie, it took all my attention! Lately my life revolves around my full-time job, wedding planning and trying to save money... not easy considering the wedding planning. 

Here are some high level updates as to our wedding planning and stay tuned for a tone more updates and wedding content coming!

1. The venue, the vendors and the plan are all set!

I was pretty lucky that my fiancé and I had a very similar vision for our wedding- a big vision. Unfortunately, we were a bit naive as to what the cost of that would be, but we are certainly learning to plan and save money more than ever. It is also the first time we are in situations where we need to decline plans because they are simply too expensive. Overall, the quick first months of engagement were really successful in planning and locking in location, vendors and putting down all deposits. 

2. Next steps!

Coming up quickly will be out bridal party proposals and quickly followed by some shopping for suits, dresses and the tux for my soon-to-be husband! We are set on our colour scheme and party numbers - which is a whole other topic - Who to include! This will be a whole other blog because it truly was probably the most anxiety inducing.

3. So many detail! 

From stationary, to signs and decor, the smaller details are what my world seems to be consumed by at this point in time and I'll be honest, I both love and hate it. I love the fact that I have a set vision which is easy for me to pull together in theory, but the options are endless, the details and fonts, the dollars and cents, to rent or buy, etc. The options are endless even when you are looking for something specific, and there is no choice but to shop around, which is immensely time consuming! 

Stay tuned for some saving focused blogs, some top tips and especially, lessons learned!


Have a great day my gems!

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

New Year Update!

-
 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Wedding Planning Tips

 Hey gems,  Reporting live is your 2024 bride here! Happy to report most wedding planning is complete, but we certainly aren't done just yet! As the process of planning a wedding is always both fun and stressful, here are a few tips I learnt along the way: Photo by Brightsight visuals  1. Have a vision Yourself and your partner should have a vision along with some general guidelines for the event and how you see it coming to life. Big, small, theme, style, etc. This is something that we were pretty lucky to align on from the start, but even then, when family and friends start offering input and suggestions, pushing for you to say YES to what they are thinking is a brilliant idea, it is sometimes so confusing to stick to your original vision. There are plenty of ways to compromise and make everyone happy, but knowing what your basis vision is really helps field some of those moments.  2. Learn about your circle Listen, everyone says you learn who your true friends are...
