Pastels are perfect for Spring and for a beautiful Easter Sunday. Unfortunately Chris and I couldn’t get down to Oregon to be with his family for Easter but we do still plan to make it a memorable holiday today. We will make it to church service tonight but since we aren’t having a feast with the family, I didn’t quite pick out the perfect Easter outfit or dress for today. Because of that I have picked out a few dresses that I would potentially wear today for such an occasion. I may still add a few to my Spring closet!

1. Victoria’s Secret Color-block Halter Dress    /   2. Skies are Blue Milly Polka Dot Dress   /   3. Urban Outfitters DV by Dolce Vita Diondra Dress   /   4.Warehouse Panelled Broderie Lace Dress   /   5. Related Casoria Dress   /   6. Roxy Sunburst Dress   /   7. Warehouse Layered Mesh Back Dress   /   8. Urban Outfitters Pins & Needles lacey open back dress

Easter is filled with festivities, feasts, family and colored eggs but the truth of the matter is that we celebrate Easter because it is the day of Jesus’ resurrection. The day he rose from the dead after being crucified on the cross. What a glorious day! I am filled with joy and hope everyday because of God’s grace. We are all human and will make mistakes but because Jesus died on the cross for our sins we may be granted forgiveness from our sins as long as we have the faith to believe. John 3:16.  Whether you believe or not, I wish you all a day filled with love and hope. Happy Easter! xo

Every wedding is intimate and special in its own right but there is something about a father-daughter relationship that is touching on the day he gives his baby girl away. Even if a father isn’t present, it is the tradition of having a loved one give their blessing before we become a Mrs. that is touching and all the more why I adore the unity of marriage. From the color scheme to the flowers to the bride’s lace dress, Jonathan and Danielle’s nuptials are the epitome of romance.

Today is my loving father’s birthday and for that I enjoy the sentiment that Danielle gives her father before he walks her down the aisle. I can’t wait for the day that my dad walks me to Chris but until then you can wish him a happy birthday on twitter at @T0nys2Xa. He’s the best!
