Wedding Wednesday: Starting Christmas Traditions

Happy Wedding Wednesday Friends!

This is our last Christmas engaged and after 8 years together have yet to ever send a Christmas card out! I was determined this year to take Christmas card photos and send out a card! I love how every family has their own special holiday traditions and I wanted photos and a card to be one of ours. I think that once a year it is so important to get together dress up and take photos! Maybe it’s the blogger and photographer in me but I love photos and capturing moments! I think it’s super important and to print them too!

Anyway this year we started out tradition and took our first Christmas photos over at Rollins College, seriously one of the most beautiful places in Orlando! We went for more of a classic theme with simple black, white, and silver! I absolutely love architecture and greenery and this place encompassed that perfectly! We are sending out our cards this week from Minted and I already printed some photos for the apartment from Nation’s Photo Lab! Y’all print your photos and cherish the memories!

Happy 2 weeks till Christmas from the soon to be McGibbon’s xoxo

My Bridal Shower!

Happy belated Wedding Wednesday!

A few weeks ago my mother hosted the most beautiful bridal shower at my parents home, y’all it was one of the most beautiful events I have ever attended! My mom and maid of honor thought about every little detail. My mom has a true talent for details and events, she’s amazing! Anyway I wanted to share all the fun photos from that day and the fun moments from this magical day!

Below are just some of the details around the house. From signage, sayings, candy my mom thought of every little thing. Every place in the house was covered with love and bridal shower fun!

Also my mother cooked everything all the food and the desserts and put together this fabulous table with stunning flowers. We had all my favorites including Mexican food and charcuterie of course, and not to mention a mimosa bar and a dessert bar too! Seriously the most delicious things!

Also my mom knows i love photos and taking photos and she had a photo backdrop for us as well as a custom frame she made for photo fun too!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my mom and all the work she put into this! I’m so thankful for all the fabulous women that attended my shower to celebrate with me, I’m so grateful for this day!
