Same Sex Weddings

I am one half of a same sex couple.  I'm "c" and we'll call the other half  "SLF", shall we?  SLF being short for Special Lady Friend (a nod to all you Lebowski fans out there and SLF's favorite movie of all time).  More about us and how I came to daydream of weddings constantly later. 
In the meantime, we are planning quite the girly pink affair and part of the reason I started this blog was to find people like me.  They must be out there - uber feminine, lace lovers, obsessed (probably in an unhealthy way) with weddings and not covered in tattoos posing in pinup getups.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, by all means to each their own and diversity is celebrated here at Wedding Daydreaming....but there just has to be someone out there like me??!!!
Of all the obsessive wedding blog reading I have done over the years, I have found only 2 weddings showcased that look something like what I hope our day will be.  Are there others of you out there?  Won't you share your photos with me?  I will gush about how pretty you are and feature your lovely photos on my blog!  Email me at prettyflowerspb@yahoo.com anytime. 

The weddings that I squealed with delight when I saw are from StyleMePretty (of course, it's the mother lode of all creative wedding ideas) and from A Practical Wedding.  One of the funniest and best reading wedding blogs I have the pleasure of following.

So without further ado....

And the second lovely same sex girly wedding to touch my heart is from A Practical Wedding as photographed by two friends of the brides Teri and Lisa.

This makes me cry.  I can feel how much they love each other.

A special thank you to these beautiful women Desiree and Ann and to Teri and Lisa.  Your weddings are more inspiring than I have words to describe.

Winter Bridal Looks

From butterflies to blizzards, we cover it all here at Wedding Daydreaming!
A gorgeous look I pulled together for a winter bride...

Cecilia dress from JCrew, and it's made of silk and under $400!

Top with a beautiful fur shawl or cropped jacket (animal lovers don't kill me please)

And last but not least crystal shoes

and then change into these when your feet start to hurt from dancing

Then carry this snow queen bouquet

Maybe add some white peonies to those gardenias

and a few snowflake bouquet pins

When you go outside for photos in the snow

You can wear these to protect your tootsies

and try not to let your smokin' hotness melt all the snow!

More butterflies!

Butterflies mean transformation and a wedding transforms the rest of your life (plus they're really pretty)
