3 Year Blogiversary Favorites


Happy Friday friends – this week felt extra long, but we made it to Friday!! Yesterday was my 3 year blogiversary!! I honestly can’t believe that for three years I’ve been coming to this little space and sharing my life with you all! I also can’t believe that I’ve made so many friendships (taking a trip with two friends who started out as blogger pals is just one example) with so many bloggers! Is it sad that I really don’t remember what I did to occupy my time before blogging…I mean I was always working and planning our wedding right before I started this, but before that – not a clue! I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things over the last three years!





Blogging Favorites – in no particular order||

  1. Co-hosting a link up that has been going strong for 2 years! Weekending is officially in my vocabulary now!! 
  2. Creating a 30 before 30…I’m about 4 months away from this big birthday and I’ve been crossing things off here and there. Not sure I’ll get it all done, but I’ll try! 
  3. Starting the B~Inspired Series – it’s evolved a bit over the last 2 years and I can’t wait for more exciting features next year! 
  4. This blog created the outlet for me to start one of my dream jobs – being a wedding and event planner! I was able to start writing for Wedding Party – 18 posts later, I started Bespoke Boston Weddings & Events! 2 years later we have coordinated weddings, have styled shoots and bridal pop ups under our belt & vendor relationships that have been a dream – oh and three weddings booked for next year already! πŸ™‚ 
  5. Can I just say YOU…every single person that I have gotten to know – because truth be told we all know each other in a weird way!! I love that there is someone that I can reach out to when I have a question about where to stay in a city or what they though about a certain product to asking about the fit of a shirt and knowing that you all will tell me the truth, because we’re all friends! 

So what’s next for B~Loved?! Over this last year I’ve taken a step back from 5 posts a week to 3 and that is ultimately where I feel the most comfortable in terms of juggling everything! With that being said, I do hope to continue to grow this little space! 

via

  1. It’s high time that I created a media kit – it’s been on my to-do list for the longest time and I’m happy to report that I finally downloaded a template from etsy that is going to make it so easy to complete this task! Maybe even this weekend!! 
  2. Having a clear focus on social media – specifically Instagram for the next 6 months! 
  3. I also want to incorporate more videos specifically makeup tutorials! As always if there is anything that you want to see – please let me know! 



It’s crazy that I can look back on practically every single important moment over the last 3 years and know what we did & who we spent time with, not to mention all of the trips! Thank you all so much for reading, commenting, asking & answering questions and being one of the greatest support systems out there! Hope you have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here Monday!!

    Happy Blogiversary, beautiful! I'm so glad we've connected and you know what, I don't even remember how long ago that was because I feel like I've known you for a long time! That's one of the beautiful things about blogging and connecting with other like-minded people here, you start to build relationships with people that you've never met in person, but feel like you've known for years and years! It's awesome and so admirable what you've accomplished in establishing a wedding planning business and that you've already booked 3 weddings for next year!!!! I wish you all the best in growth and success in EVERYTHING you do, girl! Sending lots of love and hugs your way, have the best weekend ahead celebrating!

    Wohoo! Congrats, sweet friend! I just started reading your blog this year and I'm so glad to have found you. I remember coming across your blog and literally binge reading it! You were made for this, girl! Wishing you many more successful years!
    Putting a media kit together is easier than you think, I actually made my own template. I planned on creating it as a downloadable for others but haven't finished it and don't know how to make it where once you download it…you can edit it too.

    I'm so happy to hear that you want to incorporate more videos…I can't wait!
    Hope you have a great weekend!
