Dear wedding pictures, I am addicted to you.

We live in a visual world. We love instant gratification. So, to instantly gratify all of you visual wedding needs for the day, here are some simply awesome pictures from real weddings! Pictures like this are where I have gotten many of my ideas for my own wedding. 


To start off, a wedding from the best state-  Indiana!!! Found this thanks to a tweet by @stylemepretty. As always, more pictures can be found here.

A beautiful Utah winter wedding, thanks to Style Me Pretty.

It's safe to say that Style Me Pretty is one of my favorite wedding sites. Here are some pictures I found on from their website from a beautiful Mexico wedding.

Check out this yellow color palette - love! Found at Green Wedding Shoes.

I Love William & Kate - Are You Surprised?

Yes, I will admit it, I have royal wedding FEVER. How can I not? I was obsessed with Princess Diana as a child. I cried the day she died.


Moving on to her son, William. As you all should know, he is marrying Kate Middleton this Friday. People are freaking out. Sure I like to follow the news stories and tweets, but I'm not about to find a jelly bean, swear that it has Kate's face on it, and try to sell it for hundreds of dollars. I am not crazy - this is really happening! Do you see the resemblance? Here is the story.                                                                                                                                                  

As I was saying, I'm not hyper-obsessed... just a tiny bit :] 

So, for all of you other royal wedding lovers out there, this is the post for you!! Everything you could ever want about how to have your very own royal wedding. You are welcome!

Here is a royal wedding inspiration board - thank you, Oh Lovely Day.

If you have seen Kate Middleton in any pictures, you know that she like to wear things on her head. She loves hats, feathers, and anything else that is fashionable. Here are some hair adornments, thanks to Ruffledblog for your own royal wedding. But first, some pictures of Kate!

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding what Kate's wedding dress will look like. We aren't going to find out until the big day, so let's move on and take a look at these fabulous wedding dresses. They are fit for a princess! Do we like? Found on OneWed.

Last but not least, wedding veils. Ruffledblog put together a wonderful compilation of veils that past royals have worn in their weddings. There are some more modern looking vintage ones, as well!

Hope you enjoyed this royal wedding edition - don't forget that the wedding between William Wales and Kate Middleton is this Friday!

Randoms that I like today. Yes I did just name this post that.

I'll start this post off with sharing some really cool DIY ideas, BUT FIRST- - - if you haven't seen this commercial 1. where have you been and #2 you are missing out! It's the best proposal I have ever seen (yes, I know it's a commercial), besides my own, of course :] I couldn't figure out how to make this bigger, so if you want to see it full-screen, go here.

Who loves a bridal shower??? Well.... I mean I think I would like bridal showers, but I have never been to one. My friend Elyse is getting married in June and I am going to hers, so that will be my first experience. I will see what I should expect for my own bridal showers. Enough of the blabbing! So, here is a super cute bridal shower- pastel color palette and I love the little fruit! 

Who wants to talk about bridesmaid dresses? I DOOOOO!!! I have been looking everywhere for some cute and affordable dresses. What do you think about these?

DIY and Earth Day

Greetings! I have some great information on this blog posting -- again, a little bit of everything, but I tried to include some stuff about Earth Day (April 22), and some DIY projects: wedding style! Enjoy!


How cool is this -- if you live in San Diego, mark May 5th on your calendar. BRIDES Magazine will be hosting a night out -- here is a picture taken from the BRIDES website:

From @grnweddingshoes, a cute "Fresh from the Farm" inspiration board in honor of the upcoming Earth Day! So cute and great ideas for the more earthy-style weddings.

You have to check out the awesome new DIY section from Emmaline Bride. So many great ideas, especially if you are in to crafting!

Obviously I LOVE @EmmalineBride. Here is another great DIY idea. It comes in the form of a wedding cake topper! For those of you who love birds, this might be a great alternative for you!

To close out this blog, I will leave you with a website to check out on your own. Everyone knows that weddings are expensive. Every little girl hopes that her daddy can pay for the big day. The bride and groom want all of their friends to attend, and the parents want anyone and everyone who they have ever met to see their little girl and little boy get married. Well, courtesy of @myweddingideas here are some ways to plan a wedding on a budget. I am currently doing this, and the tips are fantastic... take a look!

The post that is long overdue...

Here are some of their engagement pictures. Found them on Green Wedding Shoes - one of my favorites!!! Click here for more pictures and the proposal story!

I am obsessed with this wedding dress. It's so beautiful and modest at the same time. What do you think about wedding dresses with sleeves? The designer, Melissa Blackburn, has many dresses with sleeves on her website. Find more pictures at The Knotty Bride.
