Are you getting married next year?

If you are, congratulations! And good luck, because now is the time of planning and organizing a bazillion things for your big day. And if you are someone who likes to be on trend, on fleek and fashionable, you probably want your wedding in the most current style as well. 

These days, weddings are moving away from choosing-a-church tradition toward a more personal celebration and adventure. Even Megan Markle chose to break century-old customs in place of more modern, intimate wedding choices. If the Duchess can do it, then so can you.

February is a wonderful time to get married, especially at Mercury Hall. The weather is cool, the foliage turns a deep green, and the night is still long, which means more time to dance!

Dive into these fantastic photos of Kate & CJ captured by the ever wonderful Mint Photography.

It feels like spring has sprung here in Austin, all these 75 degree days are just too beautiful to handle.

I’m ready for sunny skies every day, the smell of freshly blooming flowers when I walk outside, and the warm (but not too warm!) weather.  Not to mention, I’m ready for all the fun weddings!
