welcome to my journal!

Hi lovelies! Today’s post is all about following up on a little post I wrote a few weeks back about our ideal wedding day timeline… at the end of that post, I promised y’all that I would also share our ideal reception timeline with you!

When you run a small business, you know you need more than just YOU behind the scenes. Unlike a big company, which might have departments to handle each aspect of what they do on a regular basis, employees who complete necessary tasks, and managers who delegate responsibilities, small business owners have to find our own solutions to keep everything running smoothly!

It’s officially Tuesday… which means it’s time to share a peek into this past weekend’s wedding! And oh was this a fun day. Luke and I had never shot at The Castle Theatre until this weekend, and I think it’s safe to say we’ll be wanting to do it again soon!

For the girl who (strangely) looks forward to writing out her planner every morning, wedding planning sounded like fun! After the initial shock wore off once Luke and I got engaged, I could not WAIT to begin planning our wedding!

Hi lovely brides-to-be! I want to share a super quick tip that can save you a TON of stress on your wedding day… and it’s something so many brides forget to do!

It was Christmas Eve 2015. We were at my family’s house (The Bachtold’s), enjoying the night together. We were talking about goals and what we wanted to do in life, and my dad said something that stuck with me: “Set your paths on a long term goal. Make decisions based on where you want to be in 20 years.”
