Brian and I kicked off our wedding weekend with a welcome party that set the tone for pure magic. Surrounded by friends and family who traveled from across the globe, the night buzzed with laughter, happy tears, and so much love you could feel it in the air. With incredible food, stunning decor, and moments we’ll never forget, it was the perfect way to gather our people and celebrate the start of something extraordinary.

I went on 136 first dates during that time when single for 5 years before meeting my husband. Here are 7 lessons I learned about relationships during that journey.

Whether you're opting for an intimate soirée, chic courthouse ceremony, or a destination wedding—I’ve rounded wedding shoes for every bridal style, venue, and budget.

Whether you’re planning to pop a bottle of bubbly or send a piece of snail mail, proposing to the members of your bridal party can be a fun and creative experience. And finding the perfect gift to go along with your proposal is part of the fun.
