Hello Travel : Savannah

This weekend my husband and I traveled to Savannah, Georgia to attend a wedding for our two best friends! Here’s a fun story on our background with them! The beautiful bride is one of my closest friends since college! I actually referred her to come work at the company I started with right out of college. At the time it was a small start up and I knew they really needed someone like her to kick butt! And of course she did and still continues to shine there!

A few years later my husband interviewed and hired the groom to join him at the same company. My husband was in marketing and the bride was in business development. The groom and my husband worked on the same team for many years and we all became fast friends!

They were both (unknowingly) going through rough breakups and were individually leaning on us as their friends to get through it. We just knew they needed each other! And the rest is history….

These two humans now have a beautiful life together, including their sweet baby girl. This was the first wedding I’ve ever been too where I was just as close to both the bride and groom. This two are truly made for each other. 🖤

Where we stayed:

We've stayed at a few places in our trips to Savannah, but this was our first time at The Alida Hotel. It was absolutely beautiful! It's located in the recently developed Plant Riverside District, just a few steps to the Historic District that Savannah is well known for. We loved it so much that we plan to return to this hotel for our future trips! The rooms were very spacious and the staff were so kind.

What we ate:

The options for great food in Savannah are never ending... and we sure did eat a lot! But our absolute favorite was The Collins Quarter, just a few steps away from SCAD Museum of Arts. We were able to walk from our hotel to this little breakfast spot in about 10 minutes. You MUST get the Swine Time Beni. LIFE CHANGING GOOD! Brioche French Toast layered with pulled pork, hollandaise, poached egg, tomato and bacon. HOLY MOLY. Its so good! I got the Breakfast Sandwich and that was also delicious! I highly recommend pairing it with an iced Vietnamese coffee or a madagascar vanilla latte or both.

What I wore:

For the wedding I wore this incredible dress from Eloquii. I debated if I should pair it with heels but Savannah is basically all cobble stone and I'm not great at walking... even in flats. So I went with a more realistic pair of shoes. I'm so glad I did because we had a great time dancing the night away!

The next day we went shopping at some of the cute little stores around town, so I went with a casual black t-shirt and these fabulous high waisted mom jeans. I just got these jeans and I'm in LOVE with them! They show my curves perfectly and are very fupa friendly! I needed to give my feet a break so of course paired this look with my favorite sneakers - Allbirds.

And for our last morning here, we were headed to breakfast and then to say goodbye to the newlyweds. So I went with this adorable floral print wrap dress. I'm normally not a fan of wrap dresses because of how it fits on my fupa but this one is just perfect!

I can't wait to go back to Savannah again!
