This embroidered blazer from Eddy offers a remix to a classic style. Meticulously crafted with luxurious cotton lace embroidery and delicate floral applique – this piece is so unique and makes the perfect bridal jacket. Wear over the coordinating lace mini dress as a cute set for a more formal look, or wear it more casually with a pair of jeans.

2025 Bridal Shower Trends

Back in November, I was honored to be asked by The Knot to share my predictions for bridal shower themes trending in 2025—check out the full article here! While themed showers can sometimes feel a bit “cheesy,” when executed thoughtfully, they can add a unique, personal touch that really celebrates the bride or couple. Reflecting on 2024, one trend that stood out was the Taylor Swift-inspired shower. Honestly, why not? Taylor’s music has brought so much joy to women and girls alike, so it makes perfect sense to highlight the bride’s inner Swiftie!

For a more classic bridal shower theme, my mind immediately goes to all things Nancy Meyers. Nancy is the genius behind feel-good films like Father of the Bride, The Parent Trap, It’s Complicated, and The Holiday—each one brimming with timeless style and charm. These movies can serve as major inspiration for the classic bride, from venue decor to custom napkins and every little detail in between.

Below I rounded up a few kitschy pieces for both Taylor Swift bridal shower theme and Nancy Meyers bridal shower themes. And of course, I’ve included a few bridal shower staples that can seamlessly fit into any theme. Don’t forget—these ideas work just as well for a bachelorette party too!

Why I Decided to Start Blogging Again

A Life Update

I’m not entirely sure where to begin, but I wanted to share an update on life lately. Back in June, Curt and I shared this post on Instagram, that was incredibly difficult but ultimately incredibly freeing. It was a vulnerable step, one I never imagined I’d take, but I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders to finally share what we’d been going through over the past two years. For so long, I felt like I was leading a double life—posting pretty pictures and stories while quietly battling through some of the most traumatic and painful experiences of my life. After experiencing our first IVF loss (and our third overall loss, which I shared in that Instagram post), I had laparoscopic surgery and learned I had stage 3 endometriosis – which made so much sense given the pain I experienced every month since I was a teenager. I truly wish every woman could be checked for endometriosis because what a world of a difference in quality of life. After surgery (aside from post surgery pain), I felt like a million bucks! If there’s anything I can stress it’s that women MUST advocate for themselves.

When it came time to share photos for this post, I honestly didn’t know which ones felt right. But then I remembered these. My friend Sarah had come over to capture content with me during my two-week wait after our second transfer. A few days later, I found out I was pregnant again. Sadly, that joy was short-lived, as we experienced our fourth traumatic loss and decided to add the help of a reproductive immunologist. We took a much needed break after this, but shockingly, I’m feeling optimistic about the future, no matter what that holds and look forward to walking through this privately with Curt.

So, here’s why I decided to start blogging again

Creating has always been my therapy. Long before blogging became a trend, I used to blog regularly as a way to process my thoughts and share what I loved. I’ve always enjoyed curating things—whether it’s tablescapes, the perfect product finds, or wedding advice. It’s a way for me to connect, create, and share little pieces of my life that might bring joy or inspiration to others. I’ve been working hard on upcoming content – especially for my brides-to-be and cannot wait to hit post so soon.

If you made it this far, I really appreciate you reading this and supporting this website and my little Instagram. Whether you’ve followed along just to scroll through pictures, clicked through products, or genuinely read every word I’ve written, thank you – because at the end of the day what you’re doing is supporting me through all of this, from afar and for that, I’m grateful.

Now Trending: Olive Green

A Love for all Things Olive Green

My appreciation for green hues has truly blossomed over the past year, with olive green emerging as my standout favorite.

Thanks to my friend Sarah Bridgeman for capturing these photos!

This cozy cardigan from Fig is crafted from a soft wool blend with vibrant floral detailing that adds a playful touch. I paired it with the matching olive green dress for a coordinated look, but it would also look effortlessly chic styled more casually with denim.

Absolutely love this Toteme bag that comes in multiple color ways. Crafted in Italy from canvas and finished with Naplack leather making it a bag that will last forever. It’s the perfect every day bag that you can either hold in your hand or carry as a crossbody.

The flattering deep V-neckline on this dress gives a touch of sophistication, making it versatile enough for both daytime outings and evening events. Pair it with boots and a jacket for a chic winter look or sandals and accessories for warmer weather. Both Fig pieces are on major sale right now, so definitely snag while you can!

Festive pajamas that will arrive in time for NYE!

Since Curt and I moved into our home in 2020, we’ve made it a tradition to host a New Year’s Eve celebration each year, always with the theme of fancy PJs. We absolutely love hosting, and NYE is no exception. We keep things relaxed and fun, with cocktails, snacks, and, of course, the star of the night—catered McDonald’s for our friends and family. It’s the perfect indulgence before everyone embarks on their New Year wellness resolutions!

To keep the vibe easygoing and cozy, we invite our guests to wear their fanciest PJs—think feathers, silk, and glamorous robes. Whether you’re staying in or heading to a house party, I’ve curated a chic selection of options from two of my favorite online retailers, known for their lightning-fast shipping. But don’t wait—grab your perfect pair now before it’s too late!

Thanks to my friend Sarah Bridgeman for the photos!

I’m obsessed with this luxurious pajama set in this beautiful shimmering lurex material that I’ll be wearing this year for my NYE party at home. It features mother-of-pearl buttoning, and each piece is trimmed with a double layer of detachable ostrich feathers. I love that I can pair this set with slippers for a night at home or wear with heels for a night out!

Tinsel Drink Stirrers

These tinsel drink stirrers are the perfect addition for a NYE party at home. They add a touch of sparkle to any drink and are available in gold, silver or half and half to go with any of your NYE décor.
