Scary: I don't want to leave you, I want you to leave me.

Disney Princess Wedding Dresses

Disney is making wedding dresses for $1,100 - $3,000. You can be Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Aurora, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty. They're not like costumes - they are inspired by the Disney princesses... My mom is going to flip when she sees this. She's one of those Disney people and no joke, she is going to flip. You can download the Wall Street Journal's .pdf of sketches for the dress here. Subscribe to the WSJ and read the article here.
And no, I won't be wearing one down an aisle....well, maybe if Maison Martin Margiela de-constructed it for me. You can though....the line will be rolling out in bridal boutiques nationwide in the next few months.

I still get the chills...

I just got some photos sent my way from Mrs. Cara Harris, who recently tied the knot with Andy last Saturday and I get goosebumps when I remember the love that was shared that day.

Coming along...

As we continue to optimize the website and prepare for the "Pedro Society" wedding next Saturday at the South Coast Botanic Gardens, I thought I'd share some pictures of Kirk & Dawn's wedding I did in September...this is at the beginning and end of the evening. Good times...
