St. Thomas

Destination Weddings. They pose kind of a love-hate relationship. For example, I love that I get to travel somewhere exotic and new; hate the money aspect of it. But the wedding was for a good friend of mine from boarding school, and it truly was a once in a lifetime experience. I couldn't have been more thrilled to be a part of their big wedding day.

Trunk Bay on St. John - Named of on the Top 10 Most Beautiful Beach in the World (there was a scene from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button that was filmed here). The beach even has its own underwater snorkel trail!



Strolling around Charlotte Amalie looking for Gladys Cafe to chow down on some West Indian food



Ended up at Mountain Top afterwards where we had Banana Daquiris and took in views of the British Virgin islands (Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Virgin Gorda) and US Virgin Islands (St. John and St. Croix)


It was a fantastic vacation - full of old friends and plenty of new ones. It was a small intimate wedding, 11 people in total including the bride and groom, and it was perfect. We didn't explore the island for everything it had to offer, but we definitely took in the views. It was breathtaking and mesmerizing, and I can't wait to take another trip in the near future!

Brooch + Bouquet

Who knew brooch bouquets were a thing?! My mind is blown. After doing some research, I am absolutely sure of one thing - they are simply gorgeous. By keeping floral and feminine elements, it keeps the bouquet from looking clunky from the metal. And adding a pop of color never hurt anyone either!
