Looking your best on your wedding day isn't just about hair and makeup.

It's about giving yourself enough time, staying hydrated, steaming the outfit, packing the touch-up essentials, and taking a few deep breaths before it all begins.

So yes... this applies to the guys, too.

A little preparation goes a long way for everyone standing at the end of the aisle.

Follow these wedding day glam tips to help you feel just as confident as you look on your big day. 🤍

Some reactions are worth saving for the people who know the whole story. 🤍

The ones who knew you before the dress, before the ring, and before this chapter ever began.

Now they get to be there for this part, too.

One look, a whole lot of happy tears, and the sweetest reminder of just how loved you are before you ever walk down the aisle.

Before you book your photographer or videographer, ask the right questions. 👀

Nikeva is sharing 5 questions every couple should ask before signing the contract.

Watch the reel for all five, and save this one for your vendor search.

Seven years is traditionally celebrated with copper and wool.

Copper for good fortune and a relationship that can bend, adapt, and grow stronger with time.

Wool for warmth, comfort, and the kind of bond that makes life feel a little softer simply because you’re walking through it together. 🤍

We can’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate seven years of Cortney and Dane.

Here’s to the love that adapts through every season, the comfort of knowing you’ve found your person, and all the good fortune still waiting ahead.

Happy 7th anniversary, Cortney and Dane. 🥂

Your wedding day is about bringing together the people you love most, and yes, that includes the ones with four legs. 🤍

For many couples, their dogs are part of the family, and their wedding day wouldn’t feel complete without them to share in it.

Whether they’re walking down the aisle, making a brief appearance for portraits, or simply included in a meaningful way, there’s no one right way to bring your fur baby into the celebration.

The best choice is the one that feels like you.

To the man who loved her first...

Thank you for showing her a love she could recognize when it was time to choose her forever. 🤍

There are so many moments we plan for on a wedding day...

And then there are the ones you simply make room for.

A dad seeing his little girl as a bride.

The look that says a thousand things at once.

A few quiet seconds where everything that came before meets everything that’s about to begin.

These are the moments we never want to rush.

Because long after the timeline is forgotten and the celebration is over, this is the kind of feeling that stays.

Alex + Alexandra 🤍

Even their names were meant to go together.

Four years ago, on September 17th, they made it official and gave us a wedding day full of reasons to remember the Russells.

Today, we’re skipping the long anniversary reflection and keeping it simple:

Four years married is worth celebrating.
Four years of doing life together is even better.

Happy anniversary, Alex and Alexandra! 🥂

We hope year four is your favorite one yet.

Chicago has seen a lot of love stories.

Two years ago, right in the heart of downtown, it got to witness Matt & Jillian’s. 🤍

The Rookery, the city surrounding them, their favorite people filling the room, and two very happy newlyweds in the middle of it all.

There’s something special about knowing that a place you can walk past on an ordinary Chicago day holds one of the biggest days of your life inside its walls.

For Matt & Jillian, that place will always be The Rookery.

Happy 2nd anniversary, Mr. & Mrs. Allsbrook. Here’s to making plenty more memories in this city, and everywhere life takes you next. 🥂

Some wedding photos just make you wish you could step right back into the day. 🕊️

The joy...
The energy...
The people gathered together...
The we really just got married feeling written all over their faces.

Obi & Keshonna’s day was one of those.

Today, we get the perfect excuse to bring these memories back to the feed and celebrate them all over again.

Happy 3 years, Obi & Keshonna Onyeukwu. 🥂

We hope today feels like a little reminder of just how much there is to celebrate.

A special anniversary toast is in order. 🥂

To Roderick & LaTonya Kirkman.

To three years of marriage.

To the laughter, the memories, the everyday moments, and everything that’s happened since they said: “I do.”

And to always having a very good reason to pull out the wedding photos and celebrate all over again. 🤍

Happy 3rd anniversary, Roderick & LaTonya!
