December 14th. 2010 by Abby Larson | 55 comments

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am officially on the "theme wedding" bandwagon. I know, sounds crazy. But frankly, after seeing dozens of weddings where a theme was so delicately and so beautifully threaded into each and every detail...I'm a total believer that a theme wedding can be absolutely magical. Such is the case with this next little number. A literary themed affair, pulled off to perfection for $13,000. Which is shocking when you see just how many wonderful little... [MORE]
