After a year spent inside, couples are more eager than ever to start planning and stay inspired to make their dream day come true. Tayshia Adams, a podcast host and design aficionado, takes her love and passion for design to help inspire others who are ready to begin planning their wedding away even if they have to do it from home.

Like so many other newly engaged couples, Tayshia has been inspired by Zola’s gorgeous invitation and website designs, vendor options for every style, and wide range of registry brands. To help other couples get started—because we know that’s sometimes the hardest part — she has shared her favorite wedding gift picks and invitation designs from Zola. Read on to see just a few of her selects and we’ll breakdown why we love them, too.
