Hello, summer!

Lazy days spent by the lake or pool are a must during the warmer months! Make sure you make the most of your summertime outings with the coolest products from Weddingstar Inc., my favourite home and gift company.

Weddingstar is a family-founded and owned company based in Dunmore, Alberta, Canada, with 35 years leading the wedding and event industry across North America. They are also my partner for this post! Before we dive into the beachy deets, I’d love to share a little backstory on partnering with this fabulous company. I have been a big fan of Weddingstar for many years, dating back to when I planned my own wedding in 2018, largely using their lineup of occasion and event products. Fast-forward to present day, partnering with Weddingstar monthly to bring you the best lifestyle and special occasion ideas has been a natural fit for me, as I truly believe in the company and it’s mission. I trust that by the end of this post, you will, too!

Speaking of this post, if you know me, you’ll know I am a summer girl, through and through. I often joke that I come to life in the summer after hibernating all winter, and there is a lot of truth to that joke! The following post is one of my favourites so far, as I love summer products and accessories, and I’m delighted to share my favourites with you!

Weddingstar Inc. has everything you need to stay sun-safe and cool, while you chill by the pool. Just add water!
