As January begins to wrap up, I think the year is off to a pretty amazing start. Everywhere that I look for inspiration, it seems like vendors, photographers, and brides alike are stepping up their game to create the most beautiful, personal, and unique weddings. I feel lucky that someday I’ll get to be a bride in a day and age where no detail is too small, no tradition is too set in stone, and no one can tell me exactly what my wedding day should look like. From the prettiest of Cape Cod lighthouses, to the glaciers of Iceland, brides in 2012 can truly make their day their own.

{Some of my best childhood memories are from Girl Scouts, so I flipped for this surprisingly glamorous Girl Scouts-inspired bridal shower shoot! If that’s not an adorably unique concept, I don’t know what is. Picture by Katie Neal Photo via Green Wedding Shoes}

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!

Love,
