We have our engagement pictures with Ryan in just a few weeks, and my goal for this weekend (besides going to Jill’s graduation in Austin!) is to pick out our outfits. I’ve had some of my favorite pictures saved for inspiration – see below! I cannot wait to be back in California.

As expressed here, I’m a pretty simple hair gal (which translates into: I cannot even braid my own hair!). In fact, while I have never made New Year resolutions in the past, I decided that this year, I would make it a point to be able to style me own hair – and with thanks to The Beauty Department (Lauren Conrad’s amazing team), I’m going to learn how to do this. I’ve been looking at different hair styles for the wedding day, but everything seems too frou-frou for me. I finally found a few pictures on Taylor Lord and Ryan Ray‘s wedding portfolios and love them. Loose curls, unique braids – nothing say summer Napa nuptials better!
PS The image is pulled from my wedding look book that I made… I’ll share piece by piece, but don’t want to ruin the big day! It’s a pretty massive document.

My engagement/wedding photographer, Ryan Ray, is so talented. Looking at his blog makes me very excited about the coming months. I am actually obsessed with the festive holiday shoot he did that was featured on Style Me Pretty. The event stylist, Angel, may be the sweetest person I’ve ever emailed with in my entire life. The colors of the shoot are vivid, the food looks amazing (I want those Brussels sprouts!), and I need that dining table! I did my own acorn decorating project earlier this season and ended up with sore hands. They look much better au natural than covered in gold glitter!
