Just in case you don't know what this little box of goodies is, here's the 411. The Bride Box is a monthly subscription for future brides that consists of a box full of gifts to help you plan, prepare and pamper for your day of bridal bliss. Have I peaked your interest? You can subscribe here.

Enjoy a few photos of what I received in my August box! It comes all wrapped up adorably and delivered right to your front door. If this doesn't make you excited, I don't know what will. 

First things first, let me start by saying, a year ago today I agreed to meet a friend's brother for coffee. Who knew that we'd be where we are today with so many memories already made.
Happy Anniversary to my favorite person in the world. I love you Z.

 Moving on from the sappy love shoutout - I SAID YES to the dress! Ah!! I am SO excited! Yes, that's a photo of it below but all I will tell you in that it is from my all time favorite Wedding Shop, BHLDN, Anthropologie's wedding line. When searching for a dress, a big worry of mine was that I'd find something that was stiff, itchy, and just too bridal for me. After a few dresses, I found one that really feels great on and that I feel absolutely beautiful in!
Ps. You know that it has to be something I can dance in. Ha!

Oh and the adorable monogrammed garment bag it's in? It is the perfect place to store my dress until the big day. Thanks to my girl Amy over at SewPeepsBoutique. Check her out!

I received this adorable box last week from The Bride Box and it was the perfect Thursday pick-me-up! Seriously just love getting goodies in the mail especially if they are wedding related. The Bride Box is a monthly subscription for future brides that consists of a box of goodies for the big day. You can subscribe here. Trust me, it is so much fun to come home to this!
Ps. A full Bride Box review is coming up later this week. Stay tuned.

My future MIL pitched in with her expert baking skills too and cooked us up some eye-catching and mouth-watering cupcakes and cookies - seriously almost too cute to eat! Tied with a cute little jute bow, these mason jars cookies stole the show! 

Our guests received favors including coozies, mini mason jars filled with sweet BBQ sauce and the prettiest mason jar cookies. The traditional BBQ flair was served including bullet pork, mac and cheese, and cole slaw.  

It took weeks to plan something so sweet and simple, and it honestly went by way too fast! I wish I could have enjoyed our guests more but we made the best of it. 

Thanks to all who braved the heat (August in Florida in NO joke) and for all who made our engagement party so special. Enjoy a few pics from our day. 

We are making some progress this week! (only 297 days to go LOL) We picked our main wedding color, started to ask our bridal party (more on that next week), and now are in the works of finalizing some vendors. Things are happening people!

First things first, our proposal story was published on How He Asked! You can see more of ours here.  Seriously, it was so much fun to write about our little love story and I hope you all enjoy it.

Here's the latest and greatest...

I started a new job - this is very exciting as well! Back to an old stomping ground and it feels pretty good.
