Top 10 Weddings: #8

Today's wedding is drop dead gorgeous. It's amazing actually. The thing about this wedding that makes it SO amazing is that it was an elopement! IN PARIS! OMG right?! Not only was it in Paris, it was New Years Eve, and includes ice skating in a wedding dress, a carriage ride, and I'm a little biased, an Amsale gown. I can't think of anything more romantic than this wedding. I secretly wish it was me some days... This wedding is perfect in so many ways, but it's also thanks to the talent of photographers Amy & Stuart, check out more here.

What do you think of an elopement??
oh Amsale.. you had me at hello..

But really y'all, how amazing was this wedding?? I love that it shows pure love between a couple and that there are plenty of ways to tie the knot. Plus, nothing is better than Paris.

Top 10 Weddings: #9

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's gorgeous soiree. Classic and timeless, but today I have  a modern and glam wedding to share with you. When I went to Chicago for the first  time two years ago I had lunch at the Art Institute and the meal was fabulous, but the venue was superb! It was a crisp white, modern and has an epic view! It was stunning. I was sitting there thinking what a beautiful reception venue it would make. Then this wedding by Olivia Leigh Photographie appeared on Style Me Pretty. It was the perfect image I'd picture for a reception there (not to mention some of my favorite colors combined!) What do you think?!

nothing like the Chicago skyline and the Hancock building in the background of Lake Michigan
UM, how GORG is this Oscar de La Renta beauty?!!! AHHHMazzing!

Top 10 Favorite Weddings

It's no secret that I L-O-V-E wedding blogs, especially when my heart goes pitter patter for stunning photography. I don't know whether it's the couple or the photographer I'm more in love with!! I think it takes the power trio of a fabulous photographer, chic decor, and a crazy happy couple to really take my breath away. Since I focus my time on my wedding I think it's really important to have a vision and many of these wedding just get it. I can't say that I have a top favorite, and you'll also see that no two weddings are anything alike! (I think that's where my indecision comes in.. wonk wonk) But take a journey with me as I explore my top 10 favorite weddings of all time. They are in no particular order mind you.. I couldn't choose!!

I think I'll open up with a crazy gorgeous California affair. It's crisp and clean but oh so glamorous. The dress, the photography, the decor, I just drool! It's amazing with a capital A. Via Style Me Pretty, visit for more, Photography by Abby Ross.
