Wedding Inspiration

Give a Type A Super Planner a diamond ring, and look out! Like many girls, I've been dreaming about planning my wedding since before I ever had a boyfriend. I've always had an interest in planning events (sometimes I question if I chose the wrong career path!), and I'm a sappy romantic at heart, so I absolutely could not wait to start turning my dreams into actual plans once Jonathan popped the question. Knowing that I'm a planner, he proposed in November 2016, giving me a year and a half to plan for my dream wedding on June 16, 2018, which is also my grandparents' anniversary.

Let's be honest, lots of my plans are already done. I don't want to give away too much, but here's some inspiration I've been working with. To help you get the idea - the reception will be in a gorgeous barn with string lights and a beautiful chandelier.

Dark blue bridesmaid dress and bright pink bouquet. Such a gorgeous color combo! Most people don't realize that blush and navy make for great neutrals

J. Crew Factory Favorites

I went a little crazy shopping over the past couple months with both clothes and home items (cue No Spend September). I still have so many decorating ideas that I want to bring to life in our new house! That being said, all of these items are currently sitting on my wish list, not in my cart, but they're too cute not to share with y'all!

Pink + ruffled sleeves... what more do you need? This would pair great with black pants, flats, and some fun statement jewelry.

I love a good chambray shirt to go with anything from a pencil skirt to colorful chinos!

These would be a great addition to my work wardrobe - the olive green color would complement so many colors form any to blush.

Again, with the ruffled sleeves! Also, I'm a sucker for stripes.

And... J. Crew Factory currently has a buy one get one free deal on shoes! If I were to order some (which I'm trying very hard not to do), I'd get these two:
