Happiest Holiday

It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next Thursday! I literally can’t even with how fast this year has gone by. After turkey day passes, it’s practically the holidays. Every year I tell myself that we’ll send out holiday cards, and most years the season just zooms by and before I know it, it’s New Year’s. This year, I’m excited to be getting a jumpstart on our holiday cards with Shutterfly! They have so many cute holiday card options, so I narrowed the designs down to my top ten favorites and then Omied and I picked this one together. The “design” process was so easy—I literally just uploaded the photo and typed in our names. Honestly the hardest part was picking which photo to use.

My parents are sending out a holiday card with a family photo from the wedding, and our thank you cards (which we’re still working on! eek.) also have a photo of the two of us from our wedding on it. So I thought it would be nice to use a photo from our honeymoon on our holiday card to mix things up a bit. Unfortunately we don’t have a ton of high-res photos from the honeymoon because we’re really protective of our DSLR (and when we do hand it over to people to take a picture of us, they usually don’t know how to use it and it turns out blurry), so most of the photos of the two of us were taken with a good ol’ selfie stick and an iPhone. But I’m so glad that we decided to set up our tripod to take this photo of us hanging out on our balcony in Nice. We still can’t get over this view, and it was so magical it seemed like a great fit for our holiday card. Plus I liked how the pop of blue Mediterranean Sea added a little contrast, and the green trees tied it all together with the sparkly Christmas tree header. And I liked how the header reads “Happiest Holiday,” and our honeymoon literally was the happiest holiday. It just works!
