Wedding goodies!

Hey everyone! Hope you had a fabulous Mother’s Day today! We have been busy bees the past few weeks and just trying to return to normalcy!

It’s been a little extra crazy for me because of my sister’s GORGEOUS wedding last week…goodness, I can’t believe it’s already been a week. Her wedding was just so incredibly beautiful that it’s just hard not to share a tidbit from that fun day. A huge shout out to Charlene from Sweetchic Events who planned my sister’s entire 9+ months of planning and did a smashing job on day of coordination. She was definitely fierce that day. And of course, this wedding would not have been truly amazing without our super talented florist friend, Grace from Vale of Enna. Grace also did our wedding flower designs 5 years ago and that’s ALL I remember about our wedding…just how gorgeous the flowers were. I don’t even remember my husband’s face lol! That’s the same reaction I had when I saw my sister’s gorgeous floral creations! Such an awesome team! Also wanted to share with you a few paper goodies and logos I created for cake, menus, programs, favor mugs. Is it really over?

My sister was ridiculously stunning!! I felt star struck when she was all dressed up head to toe!

How to Add “Related Posts” to the Bottom of Each Blog Post (WordPress)

If you’re a blog reader, you’ve probably seen the “related posts” feature at the bottom of a lot of blog posts. And for good reason! It’s a clean-looking, effective way to get readers to stay longer on your site and click around to more content that interests them. The great news for all you WordPress users is that this function is easy to add to your site and free to use!

1. INSTALL THE PLUGIN:  Go to your WordPress Dashboard > Plugins > Add New and search for “nrelate Related Content”. Install and activate the plugin, then click on “Settings”.

2. UPDATE SETTINGS:  Under “Main Settings” in the “General” tab, choose your preferred thumbnail size, add a default images (for posts that don’t have any images), and edit any other settings you’d like! On that same page, scroll down to “Layout Settings” and check the “Main Page” box in addition to the “Single Posts” box (This will ensure that the plugin appears on your main blog page as well as single posts). Next, under the “Thumbnails Gallery” tab, choose the style that you’d like to appear on your blog, then save.

3. WAIT FOR SITE INDEX:  The next step is simply to wait for the nrelate plugin to index all of your past content. Depending on the amount of content on your site, this can take a few minutes or a few hours. Once it’s finished indexing, the related posts will simply start appearing at the bottom of each post!

New Work: Simple Shui

SimpleShui

Lindsay and I are excited to launch another great blog design today! Amanda, our very sweet client wanted to update her personal blog to give a more serene yet professional look to it. We incorporated subtle light green water color wash and kept the font choices very clean and simple. We think this design matches perfectly with her “simple shui” concept!

Check out Amanda’s brand new blog over here!
