  1. What I loved about my wedding and what I would have done differently

    16H AGO

    What I loved about my wedding and what I would have done differently

    Andy and I got married on December 30, 2023 at St. Mary’s Parish in Enniskerry, Ireland followed by our reception at Powerscourt Estate. It was one of the best weeks of my life and exceeded my expectations in every way possible. One of my goals going into the wedding and thinking about the day was making sure that Andy and I had FUN! That we danced, laughed and just enjoyed this once-in-a-lifetime moment with all of the people we love.    In this episode I share how I set myself up for having the best day ever - from having fun to looking and feeling like my best, my favorite details from planning and the big day itself, and what I would have done differently if I were to do it all over again.    Follow Me on Instagram  Shop my favorites & what I'm loving lately
