a diy hawaii wedding

my bestest friend 

(aka my gorgeous mommy) 

just got married!

the wedding was two weeks ago at 

the grand wailea resort in maui, hawaii.

thank you so much to everyone at jen's pirate booty 

the dresses were PERFECT and quite a hit!

 

the beautiful bride is wearing the goddess dress in gauze

i am wearing the nena tunic in fire

and my new sister is wearing the poncho villa tunic in peaches

jen's pirate booty is a malibu based company

effortless pieces that can be dressed up or down

they worked perfectly for our beachy wedding 

the wedding was intimate and so beautiful

planning this wedding was so much fun

you don't always need to go into debt to have the wedding that you hope for...

my mom and i made the flower bouquets

i took all of our photos

& no shoes were necessary ;)

besides the priest, it was only our family which made it that much more special.

brandy melville

90's vibe.

a cult favorite.

loose fitting tops, amazing skirts, dresses and vintage shorts.

most of brandy melville is one size fits all 

which reduces the brand's production time, cost, and saves hundreds of hours of energy per month.

genius. 

 it's a line that every girl should check out.

i personally cannot get enough.

it is completely affordable for any budget and SO cute.

not to mention their look book for this season is adorable.

this + wildfox and some jeffrey campbells or chucks...

= all i need.

shop brandy melville here!!!

twitterpated

adjective informal

excited or overcome by romantic feelings; smitten.

origin: 1942; first used in the movie bambi

me, i'm absolutely twitterpated.

the wedding bug has bit me.

maybe it's because i'm 25...

maybe it's because "it's the season"...

maybe it's because every night when i watch tv 

i see commercials for cheap, ugly wedding dresses from david's bridal...

maybe it's because every tv show i have watched in the past few months happen to be the episodes that someone gets married...

or maybe...

it's because i'm in love...

(shhh.. i know.. i'm cheesin' it hard..)

maybe it's all of those things... 

all i know is i can't stop thinking about it...

so my little kittens,

here is a little look into what i want for my wedding...

ring style, dress style, hair style, photography styles and overall ambiance...

 

hello love

Happy Valentine's Day
