There’s just something so pretty about Brittany and Matt’s lovely fall wedding, which was held in her grandparents’ backyard. I’m loving that that they served up deep dish pizza (Matt’s favorite) and sent guests home with homemade honey as favors.

Ok, ok. So it might be a little early to dive headfirst into all-out Christmas mania, but I just loved this Christmas inspiration that Ez drummed up so much that I couldn’t resist sharing. Admittedly, I may or may not already be scheming where the Christmas tree is going to go this year and just …
A while back, I was contacted by Baileys about hosting a Friendsgiving party. What’s Friendsigiving, you ask?
