This wedding is stunning. Bottom line. Although I am not usually a huge fan of purple (thanks to my BFF Katie who loved purple so much when we were kids, I honestly thought she would wear a purple wedding dress)...but this, well, this is purple perfection.

Shot by the amazingly talented Dave Robbins, the affair is all about romance and pure beauty. The flowers were crafted by one of our all time favorite...
