The Beginning of Forever

Happy Bridal Gown Monday!!! What a weekend filled with Royal Wedding News! Although I was not following the wedding prior to the big day I did watch the wedding… and I must say it was gorgeous and romantic despite it being so public. It was even a little intimate… I know I was shocked too! So I thought I would do a blog post on the great fashion from engagement announcement to the wedding day.

Happy Inspiration Friday!! How are you being inspired today?

So this Inspiration Friday is brought to y...
