20 Insanely Cute Wedding Photos to Cheer You Up

Let’s face it: There are some aspects of wedding planning that are less fun than others. Even the most happy-go-lucky bride can lose her patience when bills are mounting, tensions are heating up between parents or the bridesmaids, and weekends/vacation days are nonexistent (they’re reserved for vendor appointments). We can empathize! We've rounded up some of the most romantic wedding moments that make us want to say “awww,” because as stressful as wedding planning can be, it’s all worth it to marry your best friend.

Tip of the Day: Hosting a pre-wedding party or getting married around the holidays? We love this festive centerpiece featuring Christmas ornaments! They take up more space than glass stones and are available in every color and shape that you can think of. Add extra visual flair by setting two or three large glass vessels on each table and fill them all with matching ornaments for a coordinated look.

Plus, check out Christmas-Themed Engagement Parties. Visit sharonnaylor.net for more great wedding tips and advice.
