dress experience

Finding your wedding dress may be one of the most exciting yet stressful times! During this process, I felt very overwhelmed, tired, but excited at the same time. I visited four bridals shops with my wonderful maid of honor and each experience was different. The first shop I checked out was The Dresser in downtown Fullerton. This is where it all started.. I really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful dresses and tried on a countless number of them. The girl who helped me was very patient and helpful during this process. Two pieces of advice I'd like to share with you all, prepare yourself to answer a lot of questions and don't feel bad voicing out your opinions! It's good to be honest and critical during this process. A couple of other bridal shops I visited were David’s Bridal, LovelyBride and J Crew. My visit to Lovely Bride was very special because the designer was present during my fitting! All the dresses that were showcased were absolutely stunning! I was pretty bummed because I came out empty handed from the shop. I thought I had lost all hope until I visited J Crew's wedding boutique at The Grove. The girl who assisted me was very easygoing, made me feel comfortable, and didn't ask a lot of questions (& I totally understand it's their job to ask a lot of questions but personally I didn't enjoy the Q&A part of it). To sum up my experience, I'd have to say that J Crew was my favorite. If you're looking for an elegant and affordable dress, check out J Crew's wedding collection!

Lately, I've been pinning a lot of inspiration/diy ideas of marquee lights on my Pinterest.  I firmly believe that simple details go a long way so these letters would be perfect for the wedding! Now that the weather has been clearing up, I can't wait to start on some diy projects! If you would like to make your own marquee light, click link “3” and it'll lead you to a tutorial!

new logo

Happy Monday! I recently had the opportunity to work with talented Jinie Yang to come up with a new logo for Maylilies. I have been searching for a "new look" for Maylilies for some time now and I'm more than happy on how my logo turned out! Check out her blog post on her design process!
