Our wedding day has come and gone and I can say without a doubt that it was the most perfect, magical and wonderful day of my life.  It still feels a bit like such a beautiful and emotional day must have existed solely in the realm of my dreams…it was that lovely.  It is true what people say…it was the happiest day of my life up until that point and every day since then I have woken up happier and happier, more and more excited about the beautiful life we are creating together.

I will talk a bit more about our wedding over the next few weeks but wanted to start by sharing some of my original wedding inspiration.  From the start I knew I wanted to juxtapose the formality and grandeur of San Francisco City Hall with a non-traditional dress and bouquet.  In keeping with that, I had selected casual, easy hairstyles and makeup looks to guide the direction I went in when it came to beauty.

The below images are ones I collected over the past year that I found myself returning to again and again as our wedding date of October 23 approached.  You’ll see that my wedding inspiration very much became a reality when I share a few of our personal photos next week!
