Kelly Good Celebrations

Believe it or not, I am officially in my THIRD TRIMESTER! Part of me feels like the second trimester absolutely flew by, but then another part of me doesn't even remember when my second trimester started HA! (I legitimately had to go back and reread my First Trimester Recap to remember my exact feelings and [...]

Hi! I haven't forgotten about y'all, or this much requested post! Life is BUSY.... but I think we can all say that leading up to the holidays, am I right?! I'm in the midst of prepping for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Baby Hilgy, and you know, maintaining a social life, work life, eating right, and exercising. HAHA! [...]

Life lately has been nonstop. I swear I blinked and the month of October is almost over. I’m not sure if it’s a relief because we are heading into our third trimester now, or if I’m in complete panic because we are heading into our third trimester now. I’ve worked long weekends, witnessed one of [...]

Hi y'all! I'm back and wanting to showcase a REAL LIFE BRIDE (who also happens to be my Cleveland bestie), Kelsey! Just a couple weeks ago, Kelsey and her husband Joe celebrated their 1 YEAR wedding Anniversary ❤ I wanted to ask her a few questions about her big day, the planning process, and of [...]

I grew up in a world where you had to be the best. If you weren’t the best, the skinniest, the strongest, or the prettiest, you got cut. Your dreams that you had when you were a little girl, all the work you put in for years leading up... it all got taken away in [...]

If you know me, you know that I'm a Summer girl. And a Christmas girl. But nothing really in between. For the last few years, I've completely, absolutely DREADED Fall. Other than college football and my annual apple fritter indulgence, I've never been into the whole "chunky sweater, cooler weather, basic girl" kind of thing. [...]

Maybe it's the seasons changing, or maybe it's because pregnancy brain is a real thing, but I have been in such a writing rut lately. I have over 50 topics to write about, yet I struggle to type a single word. To get some of my inspo back, I'm going back to the basics; back [...]

Earlier this week I started reflecting on year 25, and to be honest, it wasn't the easiest year I've ever had. Jake and I navigated into newlywed life, which isn't always rainbows and butterflies (You can read about that HERE), and I had finally launched my blog, taking me one step deeper into the bridal [...]

If you follow me on Instagram, you most likely didn't miss that my husband and I just got back from a week long trip exploring Canada. Before heading out to the Pacific Northwest though, our first stop was Emerald Lake, British Columbia, just north of Banff. Believe it or not, this trip was planned over [...]

“I vividly remember on my first date with Jake, telling him that I wanted a big family, and I wanted to start it young. Most guys would get up right there and then, and run. No, sprint. As fast and as far away as they could. Jake didn’t budge though. He listened to all my [...]

"I could never date long distance."-Says every girl, at some point or another Yep, I was that girl! And maybe at one time you were too. At the young age of 21, I was desperately looking to find love (again), but simultaneously looking to live out my senior year of college the best way possible, [...]

Happy Sunday, after a very long and weird holiday week! This post was meant to go live days ago, but let's be honest... my computer went dead, and I've spent the last week outside finally enjoying the Cleveland summer weather. So while you're winding down on a Sunday evening, here' s an easy read that [...]

No matter if you got married in a church, on the beach, within 9 months, or after a 2 year engagement, I think we can all agree on one thing.... Weddings are OVERWHELMING! Lists on lists on lists, and by the time your big day actually arrives you are crossing all your fingers and saying [...]

To the man that taught me to always sing in the car, no matter how off tune I may be. To the man that gave me an undeniable sweet tooth.. like the kind where I grab a spoon and a canister of icing for a late night snack. To the man that ran beside me [...]

As Jake and I approach our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary, I am just a mess of mixed emotions. Part of me feels like just yesterday we were dancing and drinking with our family and best friends, but then another part of me feels like we've lived an entire lifetime since that extremely warm Saturday last [...]

With the new Summer season in full swing, I wanted to introduce a new series to the blog called, “Designer Spotlight.” I’ll chat about specific designers that I work with, and hopefully give you a better idea what may be more your style, fit your venue, or simply just narrow down your Pinterest board. I [...]

With Memorial Day this past weekend, it's safe to say I'm officially in SUMMER MODE! But let's be honest, summer time is always on my mind. I truly feel like the best version of myself between the months of May-September. *Sign me up for all the hot weather!* With a new season comes new inspiration [...]

After the flowers have dried up, the cake has gone stale, and your dress is hanging on your closet door covered in dirt and champagne, what do you do next? Well first off, let's be honest, you go into post-wedding depression... you no longer have excel sheets of food menus running through your head, and [...]

When I initially planned out my posts for May, it was no question that I would post for Mother’s Day. It’s easy content and I knew a common question I could cover was “What to Wear as a Mother." Once I really started writing though, I didn’t realize I would talk about so much more [...]

As I dive deeper into the bridal industry as a whole, wedding gowns are what my heart will always fall the hardest for. I truly believe it's the most important piece of clothing you'll ever purchase. It's also one of the biggest purchases you'll make fully with your heart. As my boss always says, "You [...]

If you know me, you know that I'm a pretty emotional person. I cry multiple times a week (over the good and the bad), I crave really deep conversations with friends, and naturally I put a lot of pressure on myself. I've been this way for as long as I can remember. In high school [...]

I remember in 4th grade I was having a conversation with a group of my friends and every single one had said that their parents were divorced. At the time, I didn't think much of it... to be honest, I didn't think twice about it. My parents still being married was rare. And maybe even [...]

If you know me, you know that it's no secret that I love country music, and secretly wish I could pick up this life of mine and live it right in the middle of Nashville, Tennessee. I don't know if it's the music, the food, or that sweet southern accent, but I am head over [...]

Now that it's officially April, I am ALL IN for Spring! (Even if it's not totally feeling like it in Cleveland yet.) When I think of Spring, I think of fresh greenery and muted colors. I think of the lightest pastel pinks, blues, and creams; watercolor like.There's something so peaceful about seeing everything around you [...]

First of all, before jumping into my first real wedding topic, I need to say THANK YOU! I don't think I stopped smiling all day on Monday, from all of the messages, texts, and comments left by everyone. Y'all, I was terrified Monday morning... like shaking, armpits sweating, kind of nerves. Putting yourself out there [...]
