Hey everyone! Ellie here, I am so excited to share a guest witter for today's "Wedding Wednesday" blog post, Jessi Holliday.
A few weeks ago I posted on instagram stories about how I was looking for some previous brides or vendors to write a guest blog post for all of us brides- to- bes. I think it's so cool to hear about what to expect on our big days from people who have experienced it or even work in the wedding field everyday. So if you're looking to do a post send me an email to (dailyelliestyle@yahoo.com) and we can get into the details :) 

Now to get to know our guest writer, Jessi, a little bit, 
I'm so happy Jessi stepped in to do this guest post for us! She's going to be sharing some tips. tricks, and some amazing advise for what we can do to prep for our big day. I've known Jessi for so long and actually grew up hanging out with her sister all the time. Jessi and her sister are both the sweetest people you will ever meet, and you will totally see that in Jessi's post. She's got some major writing talent and she is full of amazing advise. I know I needed to know a lot of this for my big day. 

But enough from me, I'll go ahead and let Jessi take over from here. 
​ENJOY!

AHH! We are less than 8 months from our wedding day & I am feeling all sorts of emotions. Mostly excited, but stress is tailing right behind. I feel like there are 200 things left to do and buy before our big day. A few weeks ago I started buying all sorts of wedding day goodies that we will need, so I wanted to share some items I've purchased & that I'm absolutely LOVING! 

Did you know that there is a website that allows you to completely customize all your wedding stationeries? From invites, to save the dates, to thank you cards, and so much more, Basic Invite allows you  to fully customize your special event products! The options for your designs are endless and can be completely unique to your event. 

As you probably know, I got my wedding dress a few months ago. I went to one shop & tried on about 10 dresses, and I fell in love with one the same day. It’s not uncommon for a bride to fall in love with a dress after just trying a few on and it’s also not uncommon to feel buyers remorse... especially if you haven’t seen your dress for months. I wanted to cover this topic to try and help my fellow brides-to-be / future brides.

We have some big news!
After almost a year of being engaged, Cameron & I have officially picked a venue for our wedding! YAY! This was the hardest part of the wedding planning process, so hopefully now all our other vendors can fall right into place. 

If you follow me on Instagram you probably know Cameron & I made a special trip to Hilton Head, Savannah, & Charleston to hunt down the perfect wedding venue for our November wedding. I got a lot of questions as to whether or not we found our venue yet, so I wanted to do a post over that & add in some tips on how I'm trying to try stay relaxed with all these big decisions coming up.   

Cameron & I have officially set our date, Which means I can start planning out all the fun things like the color scheme, greenery, dresses, decor, etc. So this post will be a glimpse at what we are planning for the perfect November wedding. 

I'm so excited for all things wedding planning, but I'm only 2 short months into my engagement and I'm already feeling the pressure from planning my dream wedding. Right now all the wedding planning is up to me, and trust me, there is soooo much more than finding the perfect venue, trying on beautiful white dresses, or picking out a color scheme. This all alone can get pretty stink'n stressful, not even including the stress of "the budget". YIKES! 

I've been dreaming of my wedding day ever since I was a little girl. I've always wanted a big, lavish, and glamorous wedding. One where I walk down the aisle in a big ball gown covered in sparkly rhinestones. Butttt now that I'm actually starting to plan my wedding I've ditched the idea of a Cinderella  style wedding and have done a complete 180 on what my dream wedding day will look like.
