An ode to the prettiest flowers I ever did see! All of our wedding flowers were grown by a local family farm (@junefarm_) and my lovely generous aunt (@wendyow98), who also did all the floral arranging for us. And then @brigithumphreys @carryingflowers.art lovingly and expertly pressed and preserved the flowers into gorgeous art and jewelry that we will literally cherish the rest of our lives! I’m so grateful, and looking back on these photos and the floral art now hanging in our home makes me so happy!! 🌸💐🌻🌷🌼🌺 taken in Intervale by @bridgetelaine

Didn’t include Sonia and Franklin in my first half of 2026 photo roundup because I had too many photos and couldn’t narrow it down. But I know everyone was obviously dying for updates from them so here are my 10 favorite photos from this year and then a meme that encapsulates my theory on cat ownership. by @bridgetelaine

Ross and I knew for years we wanted to write a card for everyone who came to our wedding. And then at some point, I decided to paint those cards. Over 14 months I painted over 130 cards (and then over 7 days we hand wrote all of them— I had hand blisters on my wedding day). It was a little overwhelming but it was honestly my favorite part of wedding prep — sitting down and painting while thinking about how lucky we were to have such incredible family and friends coming to Vermont to support us as we made this commitment to each other. I painted whatever I felt like (aka flowers and birds) and I went through different phases and I even got a little bit better at painting along the way! Anyways, I just wanted to share because I spent a lot of time on these cards and they made me happy to share with all our friends and family 🥰 by @bridgetelaine
