It is safe to say that I will always lust over all things wedding. With news of the impending nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan, it is going to be a wedding frenzy up until the big day, and I love it.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved every detail of my wedding, and plan to share all the details here at some point, but I find so much joy and inspiration in wedding design and decor.
