Exciting news! Our save the dates have been mailed! Is it May 27th yet?

By now most of our friends and family have received theirs and I am so excited to share them with you all!

I always knew I wanted a foil design when it came to our save the dates and after browsing hundreds of designs online at Minted, (I know!) I finally found one that fit both Zach and I perfectly! Known as "Painted Simplicity," this design was basically made for us with its rose gold foil and light grey font color. I mean, seriously...HOW PRETTY!
And what better way to provide updated photos to your family and grandparents, than by making the back of your save the date, a photo! Bam! Kills two birds with one stone and your grandparents now have an updated photo for around the house. (I can't be the only one whose Grandma still has her 8th grade photo proudly displayed on the mantel, am I?!)

Minted offers unique stationary designs sourced from independent artists around the world. You can add personal touches or customize chosen designs with Minted Weddings' custom design services! Make sure to check out the website and request your free sample kit including a few different save the dates and wedding invitations. (PS. The presentation is SO cute!)

College football may be over, and we may have lost to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, but it still doesn't stop this gator loving gal from rooting on her team! Today's gator gameday OOTD is brought to you by Shelly Brown! But more specifically her orange and blue Gameday stack as seen below! (It makes THE PERFECT Christmas gift, FYI.)


Oh and for all of you other college football fans, do check out all of her stack options here.

I've literally become obsessed with my new stack and have been wearing them with everything! Most importantly, anything gator blue! Pair these bangles with a super cute gator blue dress and wedges - and there's no way you can do any wrong! Seriously just the cutest!

Get your own orange and blue stack here.


Oh and while we are at it, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if this ring, this bangle, or this necklace ended up under my tree this year. (Thanks Santa!)

Georgia native Shelly Brown’s signature style is rooted in the salt of the earth sensibilities of growing up in the South, and years of life on the road. Her pieces are inspiration pulled from all of her experiences and I personally love her style! See her Instagram here.

And because if you are a gator girl like me, you are always looking to add more cobalt blue dresses to your wardrobe. Check out a few dresses below that I am scooping up for next season!
