Smile Direct Club

Hello loves! We are so close that I can hear wedding bells! Our wedding is just about three months away! I can’t believe how this has snuck up on us. We are so thrilled to be wrapping up the last few details for the big day!

One of those very important details is making sure our smiles are in line. As you have all seen via my previous blog post and by watching my IG stories, we have been on our wedding smile journey along with Smile Direct Club. After doing our impressions and going into the Miami Smile Shop to get 3D imaging of our teeth, we now have received our aligners and are more than thrilled to be continuing with the process of ensuring we have the perfect smiles on our wedding day.

Right now Andrew and I are in our first out of four total months of treatment and can really feel some great shifting going on here. To make sure the treatment is affective we have to wear the aligners pretty much at all times. The trays get changed to a tighter aligner each week and we are required to wear them for 22 out of 24 hours a day. What is so convenient about them is that no one can tell we are wearing them! Having had braces for five years in my adolescence, this factor is something that is very fitting for our current lifestyles.

I love being able to share our journey with you all and I wanted to make this process as easy as possible for you to get started. Right now with my code WEDDINGSMILES you will get 50% off of your impression kit. Being that Smile Direct Club is 70% less than other teeth aligner brands it is such an affordable option. You can find out all the details about Smile Direct Club and how to get started in my previous post here.

They also just opened their Miami Smile Shop in Brickell City Center for all of my South Florida peeps! Scans in their office are usually $95 but with my promo code they are FREE!!!! It is such a cool experience to get your scan done at a local Smile Shop because it is so quick and easy to do. You can find your closest smile shop here. I can’t wait to show you all our end results!

Thanks for stopping by!

Our Engagement Shoot…

Engagement Shoot

Photography by: Alain Martinez

Hello loves! I can’t tell you how excited I am to reveal our engagement photos. I am also so glad to finally introduce Andrew to the blog. Say hello everyone! I personally was so excited during the whole process of planning and creating our engagement photos. It was the first real step for the wedding that was 100% just for us. While planning every aspect of the wedding is fun, when the big day is finally over, your photos (as well as the marriage) are all you have left. This is why it was particularly exciting to hunt down the perfect wedding photographer.

Not being a novice to having my picture taken, it was especially important to find a photographer that wasn’t satisfied with the ordinary. We found all of this and more in Alain Martinez. Finding him on our wedding venue’s referral list, one look at his website and I knew his artistry was going to take our wedding to the next level.

To be honest, Andrew was not thrilled about this step in the process. He does not like being on camera. After much debating and using whatever leverage I had, I somehow got Andrew to appear at the our shooting location, which was about an hour and thirty minutes away from where we live. At about 7:30am I might add. Goodness that man loves me!

Alain and I had been going back and forth brainstorming about the setting and feel for the shoot and we decided on a mystical type theme. I wanted that fairy tale aspect and I couldn’t have been happier with the imagery and artistry that resulted in our engagement photos. Alain had a bunch of ideas such as the smoke bombs that you see in the photos as well as the location and he truly hit it out of the park. Being that this was probably Andrew’s first photo shoot since his law school graduation photo, Alain really worked with him so well and truly captured some beautiful moments. I can’t wait to see what he does with capturing the actual wedding.

The flower crown I am wearing was actually made by me per instruction of Miami Flower Market from an event I had hosted the night before. I had ordered one from Etsy which hadn’t arrived in time. Luckily my DIY skill came in handy and I was able to conjure up one during our own flower crown making class. If you are in South Florida you can find their current class schedule here.

As for the skirt my friend and fellow blogger Alice Marie, made me not only one but two engagement shoot outfits. She was so amazing and patient with me. Wanting to make sure I was truly satisfied, she even took me to pick out the fabrics and had multiple fitting with me to make sure everything was just right. I’ll make sure to post the first outfit she had for me later on next week. It is truly spectacular!!! I hope you all enjoy, thank you for stopping by!

Save The Dates…

Save The Dates

Hello loves! I am so excited to have sent out the Save the Dates for our wedding next year. I can’t tell you how blessed I feel at this moment and now that they have officially been sent out, I can stop pinching myself for I know it’s all real! We really wanted the save the dates as well as the formal invitations (that will be sent out a few months before the wedding) to be a little preview of what the wedding will be like. My future mother in law was such a great leader through this entire process. Having planned a wedding before for Andrew’s brother, she already knew exactly where to go for our save the dates.

We designed our save the dates with Lilian Designs Studio in Coral Gables, Florida. I loved the entire process and thought it was the perfect activity for getting all of my creative energy out. They have so many paper, envelope and lining samples that honestly it can get a little overwhelming if you don’t go in with some sort of idea of what you want. They were so helpful though throughout the entire process with recommendations and finished samples for you to draw ideas from. You can pretty much create whatever you want. We had a few different drafts but we both agreed in the end that this design was “the one”. My future mother in law and I had so much fun!

After finishing our design, we wanted to then add a little bit of extra glam to the envelopes and designed our own personal stamps with Zazzle. I thought this idea was so unique. Why ruin such a beautiful envelope with a generic stamp? I loved how we were able to transfer our logo as well as the color palette of the save the date to the postage. I also loved that you could choose the size of the stamp as well.

My future mother in law surprised me with them once they were finished and I was over the moon excited. She designed the whole stamp and I couldn’t have done a better job if I tried. She gets me lol. Just make sure whomever is designing your save the dates or invitations that they give you the correct weight and postage price for your stamps. You’ll be very upset if you accidentally order the wrong postage amount. Hope this helps any future brides out there or anyone who is planning a future event. These details were the perfect addition to our wedding as well as for our guests. Thanks for stopping by!
