Usually, I write my blog posts the night before, put finishing touches on them in the morning, and then post them. When my internet went out in my apartment last night, I was all peeved because when I write Love Lists especially, I like to re-look through every wedding blog I read to make sure I’m choosing my absolute favorite things, and it takes a little while! It’s now Friday morning, and I’ve gotta say, every blogger/photographer/event planner/bride really hit it out of the park this week, because I had such an easy time finding things I was truly excited about. I hope you get excited about them too!

{I love the story of how this bride scored her stunning vintage gown–she found it at a sample sale before even getting engaged, and since the price was so great and the dress was her dream, she bought it and hid it under her bed. This made me smile because one of my sweet sorority sisters that volunteered at Brides Against Breast Cancer with me got engaged just two days ago! Maybe she should’ve grabbed a dress last weekend and done exactly this. ;) By Sara Hasstedt via Grey Likes Weddings}

{Doesn’t this shot give you chills just a little bit? What a gorgeous portrayal of a multicultural wedding! P.S. This whole wedding is just stunning–be sure to check out the feature. By Carlie Stasky Photography via Style Me Pretty}

{I love when a couple comes up with an incredible theme for their big day. This one was “what if the characters from The Great Gatsby took a train out west for an elegant picnic.” Um, amazing. I think they pulled it off flawlessly! By Hugh Forte Photography via Green Wedding Shoes}

Have a great weekend!

Love,
