On this cold, gray day in San Francisco, this picture really perks me up. I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot to my potential and existing clients: BREAK THE RULES! IT’S OK! And don’t do things because you have to, or tradition tells you to. At the end of the day, especially your wedding day, you need to feel like it’s yours, that you’ve really put your stamp on the thing, ya know?

I love the idea of mixed bridesmaid dresses. Each girl in this picture really looks like she’s having such a good time in a dress that’s uniquely hers. She’s wearing it and owning it–and it shows.
