Real Life Weddings: Picture Perfect
This past weekend, two very dear friends Eddie & Kate tied the knot. I can not begin to tell you just how excited I was for this wedding.
Not only had I been very fortunate to see Eddie & Kate’s romance blossom from the beginning, but Kate (and her Mum) are the Queens when it comes to decorating an event. Their work and effort will take your breath away.
I love how the wedding...
