The First Look is something you hear a lot about these days when it comes to weddings. There are so many pros for doing one and I can see the appeal! I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to do one on our wedding day. There were so many reasons why I wanted to do one, but also so many reasons why I didn't! 

Being a bridesmaid is not cheap! Not only do they have to pay for their dresses (and sometimes hair and makeup), there are also travel expenses involved in most cases! Seven out of my eight bridesmaids were not local to Charleston, so they and their families had to travel and pay for lodging in order to attend! I mentioned before that I really wanted to spoil my gals, so I wanted to make their gifts very special!

If you haven't heard the news.. WE'RE PREGNANT!! We are so so excited about the journey ahead of us and to bring a new life into this world! I asked my followers on Instagram if they had any pregnancy related questions for me, so I wanted to answer the most asked questions here!

I am so excited to share details on both of my wedding dresses! You may have saw that I had both a ceremony dress and a reception dress, and am SO happy I made the decision to change dresses during the reception! The weekend before our wedding I met up with my photographer at our wedding venue to take my bridal portraits of both my dresses, and here's the result!
