Abby featured the lovely Laura Hooper's engagement party plus her sister's equally awesome rehearsal dinner yesterday on Style Me Pretty ... and as Abby said, we honestly can't rave enough about...

My favorite part of these inspiration shoots is knowing that the ideas that look so beautiful in the photographs, are actually REAL steal-able inspirations that you can incorporate into your own wedding. Even if you can't set up pretty picnic tables outside, you can still collect vintage vases and fill them with pretty Spring hues. Even if you aren't sure if the sun will be shining on your big day, you can still bring in elements you love and use them in unconventional ways to make your day...
