Our favorite wedding dresses of 2013

December 23, 2013

And just like that, it’s the last week of 2013, eeeep! Don’t mind us if we seem a little emotional. It’s been such a fabulous year in weddings, parties, inspiration shoots, and DIY’s. So before we get ready for all of the beauty to come in 2014, let us reminisce over all the lace, ombre (it was kind of the year for this trend, right?), sequin, tulle, and handmade dresses that graced our blog these past twelve months. 2014 brides, consider this your handy little wedding dress guide to keep in your pocket aka Pinterest board, for inspiration!
