detail to love: sunny bride-prep location

We’re digging this casual, sun-soaked alternative to traditional bride-prep. Why not ditch the stressful morning-of in a drab hotel room and instead enjoy your final moments as a bachelorette basking in the desert sun with an icy margarita? Apart from the necessary boost of vitamin D, imagine how incredible your first bridal portraits will be. Major bonus.

 

detail to love: embroidered napkins

It’s all in the details, babe. This team thoughtfully incorporated these embroidered napkins to mirror the embroidery on the bride’s poncho, and we’re loving it.
