Photo Diary: Our Budapest Mini-Moon

Although it isn’t *officially* spring until… well, tomorrow, here in Israel it seems like spring has sprung sometime in early February. Israeli winters are usually pretty minimal, mostly sunny with the occasional rain every two weeks or so, and this year was no exception. To enjoy some extra winter moments before I dive back into my bikini and most importantly to celebrate our 10th anniversary, Max and I traveled to Madrid where we spent a long weekend of fine dining and quality time. As it turns out, that much needed trip was just about fabulous outfits as it was about great experiences, so here it is – I present you (TUM TUM TUMMM) with my last winter outfit.

This outfit seen here is my favorite one of our vacation and probably of this entire winter. What I love most about it is that I finally got to play with winter accessories that I don’t often get to in the barely existent Israeli winter, like the big plaid scarf and these gorgeous over the knee boots I finally got my hands on and are literally the only thing I’m going to miss this spring.

Though I had many creative ideas on how I’m going to style these boots, ’cause I’ve been literally craving them since forever, I find that currently my favorite way to style them is the most simple one – on top of black pants or jeans, as seen here. Since I packed very lightly for this trip, I had to get creative with my outfits but to also be able to wear items time and time again, so I built myself a basic black outfit on which I layered my coat and accessories. This kept things interesting, giving me an entirely different look and feel every day.

So, which type are you?
Going to miss winter? Can’t wait to welcome spring?

I hope you liked our wedding posts so far (If by any chance you missed them, you can read all about it here and here), I sure had so much fun reminiscing and sharing our planning and overall experience with you.

In 11 months of wedding planning you learn a whole lot about yourself, your relationship and even your friends & family. Though it’s truly a magical time and I absolutely loved planning our wedding, it sure can be stressful at times and it’s easy to loose yourself in the process. That’s why I wanted to share with you some insights I’ve gained along the way among with a few wedding planning tips and tricks that will hopefully help you take it in stride and enjoy the road towards the aisle.

You can never please everyone, so just do you:

This is one rule I always try to live by, and when it comes to wedding planning it takes a whole new, stronger meaning. From your venue of choice to wedding date and flower settings, it seems like everyone around you has an opinion on what you should do.

This was MY biggest challenge. Your heart and style will make the wedding your own, so it’s actually smart to put good thought into your choices. Personally I was so proud and excited to give the planning process my all and see our wedding become “ours”. I did it first and foremost for us two, and the memory we’ll have of our wedding. That being said, I spent way too much time moving the text on my wedding invite half an inch to the right or left and consumed so many hours on things only I will know and notice.

On the other hand, I took many tasks I loved doing and truly enjoyed, and I guess many other brides would have the best time doing DIY decor for their wedding, so the key is to find what works for you and stick to it. Create an organised (yet flexible) list and share your tasks with your significant other. In our case, we each took on what the other one dislikes doing or not as good at. Max took care of many of what I perceived as boring logistics (negotiations, phone calls, schedule), and I took over the creative side.
