So, i’m not really a big, pouffy white dress kinda bride. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a part of big weddings for friends and family, but for my own? Not so much. So I was really inspired by the Glamour magazine ‘Smitten’ blog, which has lots of great wedding ideas, but seems pretty low-stress and emphasizes doing your wedding, your way. Even if you don’t follow the yellow brick road all the way to Vera Wang.

The blog’s Genius Weddings section has a ton of amazing weddings to inspire a slightly more low-key bride to be, and includes this quite beautiful picture of a happy couple at San Francisco’s City Hall. Just wonderful isn’t it? I hope they don’t mind me sharing it with another new audience. This picture led to me tracking down the same photographer for our wedding – let’s hope we get a nice result!
