Happy Hour: Wedding Weekend Libations

Aug 30, 2019

Where did the time go? Β One day, we were engaged. Β Then, we were booking venues. Β And now, after months of planning, it is officially my wedding weekend. Β It feels incredibly surreal to type that phrase.

The Blushing Bride cocktail is a super simple, perfectly peachy drink. Β However, I’m not a big fan of the peach schnapps (too sweet) that most recipes include, so I replace it with Deep Eddy peach-flavored vodka. Β Add the splash of good quality grenadine, and your cocktail is complete.

This Ulla Johnson dress was on my wedding wish list for a bit. Β Sadly, weddings are already expensive and destination weddings, more expensive. Β So a $700 dress just wasn’t in the cards; it’s beautiful though.

I opted to wear a white dress that I already owned, but if I hadn’t, this Seen Worn Kept Anglaise Eyelet dress and under-$75 Farrow Smocked Dress were both on my list. Β Plus-size? Β This Shein dress with lace accents is really beautiful.

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
