About Erin

Blue-Eyed Bride began as a way for me to keep our friends and family in the loop while Todd and I were planning our May 2008 wedding. I wrote about our wedding plans and the feelings I had leading up to the big day. We got married in Greenville, South Carolina at the Furman University chapel. When the wedding planning was over, I wanted the blog to continue.

I am a grammar queen, Emily Post wannabe, Williams-Sonoma junkie, and always want to make my Southern mother and grandmothers proud. Because I haven’t given up my wedding planning dreams, there may be the occasional mention of a gorgeous wedding and I do love to spotlight a wonderful wedding photographer every now and then.

Though I live in South Carolina now, Louisiana is my true home. I’ve also lived in Indiana. I’d also have to say that out of the three states I’ve lived in, Louisiana wins the prize for best food.

I live for a beautiful wedding and a simple bouquet of flowers. I have a strong passion for fashion {J.Crew and Anthropologie specifically} and home décor. We love to travel and I’m always looking for the next great vacation. I come from a long line of amazing cooks and aspire to create a wonderful home and delicious dishes for my family. In my life, it’s all about the details.

This is my attempt at chronicling all of my random thoughts, ideas, crazy projects, kitchen disasters, fashion, gorgeous weddings, travel, family stories, and fun with my husband!

You may find me to be passionate, random, pessimistic, hopeful, and a control freak. Please join me as I figure it all out as I go!
