First of all, I can’t believe Thanksgiving is already here. If you’re still scrambling to come up with a dish, don’t worry!

We also shared not one, but two, gorgeous real weddings: Elena + Andrew’s Wild Onion Ranch wedding, and Stephanie + Sean’s Barr Mansion wedding!

Peony-lovers take note, late October through December is round two of the peony season!
