they certainly don’t work for every wedding but when i saw this one recently, i thought i’d pass it along
(on her post she’s also got a great link to gloves, shoes and a fascinator).

i have some...

michelle + jay

these two are
a-w-e-s-o-m-e…michelle & jay seemed to just glide through the entire day
smiling so big from seeing all the people the loved! 

 
they are so close to
their parents…they double-date, play golf together…and that closeness was
